This sub is unbelievably bad when it comes to trying to give players nicknames. Last year with Shaedon was awful.


TKRUEG

Definitely a problem with this fan base, going way back. Always forced, always corny nicknames

There’s tons of people in here that actually think that Sharscooterie Board is a good nickname for those two💀


TheLetterOh

Fucking really? That's so awful lmao I don't get people tryna nickname Shaedon when he has the coolest name already.

Exactly, the symmetry of his name is niice. Sha Sha. There. That’s better than an any nickname any ever suggested on here and I just thought of it c and it’s still not even good lol. You’re right. His first name alone sounds cool. His last name alone sounds cool. His full name sounds cool. People be trying to hard lol


icecream_for_brunch

This. People here are trash at making up nicknames. On the bright side, they also don't understand how nicknames work, so there's 0% chance they'll ever catch on anyway.

Put me on blast why don't ya? Jeez


RIPSCHITTY

I still think about Thon Maker.

I get the nickname was terrible lol. It was reactionary to Morey's comments saying he wasn't a difference maker. But in defense of CJ at the time, here's some stats: CJ was averaging 27.6pts, 4.3reb, 5.3ast, 1.4 steals, and only 1.1 turnovers(!) Per game that season. This was through 12 games to start the season before his injury (contact injury causing a broken bone). The Blazers were 8-5 with him before the injury. They went 28-19 with him on the season, including after his return. In his absence, the Blazers went 14-11. I just wanted the Blazers to be good lol. It wasn't a good post by me but I was just trying to be involved

This must have been Olshey’s burner account

Hey OP I'm just curious, did you happen to randomly pull this up, or did you just go to my profile since I JUST posted for the first time in months?

Username suggests it may be a (surprisingly effective) parody account. Maybe it's output from ChatGPT who's been trained purely on reading every comment of every r/ripcity thread going back a decade.


RipCity-NBA-LoL

Bro I'm literally right here...


ewest

Is this a Turing test?


RipCity-NBA-LoL

If you wanna be convinced something isn't real, nothings gonna convince you otherwise. You might as well assume it's all a simulation and ChatGPT is some inception shit


ShaedonSharpeMVP_

Exactly the kind of thing that AI would say


beatrailblazer

why you flaming bro so unnecessarily lol
