  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
I am an avid listener of The Basketball Jones podcast (i think I already said this before) and while I was tuned in, they had a mail in which the guy asked what names can they think of that can be catchy replacements for common adjectives or verbs or nouns that we use in everyday life.

He had examples like "Yo, can I get a Stockton (assist) on this table" and "You know that your current GF is just a Rodman (rebound) right?"

So, like I always say, for the sake of fun, creativity and discussion, let's hear yours. We might be able to use it with fellow basketball fans in our everyday living and may look cool doing so...  ;D 8)

I have one.

"Make sure you Kwame (scrub) that floor really good."

Fire away. The witty ones will get TP's from me.

I thought I had it all but wrapped up, but in the end I Spreewell'd it away.

Whoa whoa, not cool. We're just cracking jokes and you gotta go Lambieering people? Grow up dude.

I went and sweetney'd the entire pizza and a pint of Ben and Jerry's. I'm going to crap a Volkswagen later.

There's an obvious Delonte West one there somewhere, but I'll keep the forum PG (pun intended on that, though).
