What’s My Name?

Trevor Ariza needs one.

TakTrevor Arizaing advantage of a great postseason, Trevor Ariza left the Lakers for Houston, where he won’t have Kobe to play with but should get a lot more shots. Either way, dude’s profile is on the rise, and it’s time he got a nickname to match his stature. Laker fans made a quick attempt at this during the season, but nothing stuck, and he’s just not the concern of Laker fans anymore.  So, trusted readers, let’s get on it. If you’ve got a nickname idea for Trevor, enter our latest nickname contest.

Whoever has the best nickname will win a dope prize from the SLAM vault and get their name in Trash Talk next month.

    What’s Trevor Ariza’s proper nickname? After last year’s playoffs, it’s quite simple: The Lakers simply wouldn’t have won without “Mr. Steal.”

    Trevor “THE REAZON” Ariza! If you want defense, an on the ball defender, put the REAZON on the court. Ariza is the REAZON Houston picked him up, because he is young, athletic, and his defense. Coaches are going to ask, “Why are we turning the ball over so much”? Because Ariza is the REAZON!!

  • Thomas Douglas

    It should be Trevor Areason because he gave the lakers a reason to win it this year. He made a lot of big plays down the stretch.

    “Silent Assassin”…when Trevor plays hes not somebody your always watching, hes not cocky, and hes not a talker, but he comes through with clutch steals, big dunks, and as we saw in the playoffs the abiltity to take over a game.
