"Splash brothers" - unique nick, it sounds "Splashy" like the water version of - flashy!
Also, its meaning is the absolute truth, they have marked this era, so it gets some extra points for that.

Singularly - "the Process" gets my vote. It is simply omni-meaningful and the magnetic person that carries it is charismatic, as it fits. If I remember well, he took a term that was mocked upon and he made it cool. Boss points to him.

...Imagine Lebron ending up there and Joel calmly saying - Trust the Process.
I wouldn't be surprised.

TP for Splash Brothers - it is creative and indicative of the era. The name also belongs to players on the best team in the NBA...maybe of all-time - and I don't even like GS.

I assumed he wasn't counting Lebron in this era since he is a lot older than the other guys on the list.

The commentators in Germany often call him This Theis Baby

I picked Greek Freak but Splash Bros is also a great nickname
