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.

    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

    It’s gotta be Love Muscle. He ain’t huge, but he can get the broads… I mean boards.

  • http://canishoopus.com Stay Classy Joe

    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.

  • http://canishoopus.com Nick

    The Big Piranha. Over at Canis Hoopus they have even created a commercial idea.

  • Django

  • theH

    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

    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.

  • http://www.canishoopus.com Stop-n-Pop

    “Da Angry Whopper” is another fan favorite from Hoopus.

  • Bob

    “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

    Also forgot to mention variations of “Box Office” nickname above: a.k.a the “Love Box”,”Box-O-Love”,”The Boxer”

  • Joel Sandler

    K-Bomb because he throws full court bombs all the time.

  • Bob

    “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)

  • I.M. Fletcher
