What’s My Name?

Kevin Love needs one.

He doesnKevin Love’t play in the biggest market or for the best team. He was overlooked for the ’09 Rookie-Sophomore Game. Yet Kevin Love flat out produces. Averaging 11 ppg and 9 rpg his rookie year, he’s spiked those stats halfway through his second season and is now at around 15 and 12 per. He’s a double-double threat every time he takes the floor and it’s about time people stop overlooking this former UCLA Bruin. Maybe a catchy nickname will help Love’s popularity, so you know what to do.

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

    How about “I Get Around” as a nod to his Beach Boys’ roots and his ability to gobble up rebounds from anywhere on the court?

    he absolutely can not be called “KLove.” all the unimaginative names in the NBA are bad enough but for this guy to share his name with an inspiring Catholic radio station is just unacceptable.

    I remember him being called the Big Fundamental in college, but that is Timmy’s nickname. Then I saw the documentary Gunnin for that #1 Spot when it came out in NY. I even remember K Loves nicknames of KevLar and Bulletproof (cept he has gotten injured both season thus far). In coming up with a nickname all I can think about is his relationship with the Beach Boys. By far their best album is Pet Sounds. As I looked through the track detail I noticed that Sloop John B also has Mike Love (Kevin’s Uncle) on lead vocals. Therefore my new nickname for Kevin Love is Sloop. “Sloop to the hoop”

    Can’t go wrong with Dr Love, kinda obvious though. The Tree, cause he’s from Oregon and built like a Lumberjack. He’s a tough one, but the names referring to him being white are played out.

    Is it really possible to improve on “Kevin Love?” Always bugs me. Like when they started calling Chris Gatling “Energizer.” Why can’t we just celebrate it when someone has a great ‘real’ name?

    “The Goal Post”. You have to go through him to score. Plus, “post” works as his workplace (low post) and social-media associations (twitter posts). So then maybe as an alternative to Karl Malone’s “Mailman”, “the Postman”.

  • Charles Henderson Posted: Feb.18 at 4:40 pm
    Since he’s from Oregon I gotta reference the old-school computer game “Oregon Trail”: He’s not that quick so… The Oregon Snail. With his injuries this year…Oregon Frail. Constantly rumored to be on the trading block… Oregon Sale. That’s all I got!

    The Big Piranha, as in a larger version of the Minnesota Twins’ Little Piranhas. Dude doesn’t have an overpowering game but he’ll nibble you to death with the little things and hustle.

    The Big Piranha! If you don’t get the reference, ask Ozzie Guillen who the Piranhas are.

  • John Posted: Feb.19 at 9:35 am
    It’s gotta be Love Muscle. He ain’t huge, but he can get the broads… I mean boards.

  • Stay Classy Joe Posted: Feb.19 at 1:04 pm
    We over at CH always refer to love as the Big Piranha, I would think this is fitting since an entire blogging community always uses it.

  • Nick Posted: Feb.19 at 1:05 pm
    The Big Piranha. Over at Canis Hoopus they have even created a commercial idea.

  • Django Posted: Feb.19 at 1:42 pm

  • theH Posted: Feb.19 at 2:13 pm
    i came up with ‘tough love’ on canis hoopus. i stand by that nickname as the best representation of kevin’s blue-collar game. also a commercial idea posted over there. tough love! do it, do it.

  • island wolf Posted: Feb.19 at 3:05 pm
    Vanilla Thunder: Darryl Dawkins was from “planet lovetron”, as is Kevin. Dawkins was called “chocolate thunder”, partially for his ridiculous dunking ability and partially for his skin color. Kevin’s dunks are effective but way more vanilla, like his skin. Thus: Vanilla Thunder.

  • Stop-n-Pop Posted: Feb.19 at 3:53 pm
    “Da Angry Whopper” is another fan favorite from Hoopus.

  • Bob Posted: Feb.19 at 4:31 pm
    “Box Office”
    Becuase he goes to work on the glass, he’s great at boxing-out to get boards, and he’s worth the price of admission! Also the Wolves used to have the “Big Ticket” and now he could be replaced by the “Box Office”

  • Bob Posted: Feb.19 at 4:59 pm
    Also forgot to mention variations of “Box Office” nickname above: a.k.a the “Love Box”,”Box-O-Love”,”The Boxer”

  • Joel Sandler Posted: Feb.19 at 5:02 pm
    K-Bomb because he throws full court bombs all the time.

  • Bob Posted: Feb.19 at 5:12 pm
    “Hook”
    Because Love hooks & catches all the boards & he repeats the double-double over and over again just like a catchy song. a.k.a. the “Hook of Love”, the”Love Hook”, the “Big Hook”,”Dr.Hook”,”Captain Hook”, the “Big Catch”, or the “Hookworm” (an ode to Rodman’s nickname)

    The Great White Snipe – a play on the old “Great White Hype” name, while emphasizing his ability to snipe long distance passes, long range shots for a big, and snipe big rebounds.

    Call him “Love Worthy”, since his jersey number matches a certain former Laker named James, and Kevin doesn’t get the Love he deserves.

    R&B Love is a good name for Kevin Love because it portrays his exceptional force on rebounding and blocking, while his last name reflects his love for the game

  • Amro Posted: Feb.26 at 11:16 am
    Efficient Love best fits Kevin Love because Kevin Love is shooting around 46% this season.

  • Trey Huntsman Posted: Feb.26 at 9:11 pm
