Too many of todays NBA ballers lack a memorable tag. We at SLAM find this unacceptable; now we’re doing something about it. Each month, we’ll bring you a player whose skills demand something more memorable and descriptive than their initials or a shortened version of their name—and that’s where you come in.
This month, your target is David West. As a surprise All-Star on an exciting squad, West could make noise in the Playoffs this spring, but calling him “DWest” is boring. Give us your suggestions for a real nickname for David. Whoever comes up with the best nickname will be blessed with a dope prize from our vault and get their name in Trash Talk next month.
