SMU Hoops Nicknames

Anybody have any nicknames for the returning SMU hoops players or any of the incoming freshman? Basketball is starting up soon and this seems more fun to me than agonizing over how bad our football team has preformed this season.

Well, D-Rob is one everyone knows and uses frequently.

The regular group I go with to SMU Hoops games refers to John Killen as "Old Man Lebron" as we think he looks like grandpa version of Lebron from the Nike commercials.

Doherty always references Tomas Kiatowski (spelling?) as TK when he talks about him.

The name I am wanting to stick with Ryan Harp is Rainmaker for his 3 point shooting abilities.

Maybe Mike Walker gets a nickname relating to General Patten's mancrush on him.

Bamba and Papa don't have a chance for a nickname unfortunately just bc their first names are so much fun to say.

Anybody have some input???

I would have thought that by now some one would have come up with a Bamba t-shirt:

VIVA LA
BAMBA

With a silhouette of Bamba dunking...

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa'mí y pa' ti
Ay Arriba y arriba
Ay arriba y arriba por ti seré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Mike Walker = The General's Floor General.
Probably need something shorter, but give me time, I'll come up with something.
