What’s My Name?

DeMar DeRozan needs one.

DeMar DeRozanThe Raptors, in sum, are not exactly must-watch material this season, but some of the parts are pretty fresh. Perhaps the most exciting baby dino is DeMar DeRozan. An In Your Face subject last issue, DeMar’s next slot in this mag figures to be a feature…or Slamadamonth. One or both of those will be a lot more fun to write—and read—if dude has a nickname to spice things up. Agree? Then give us your best idea, and we’ll all try to make it stick.

Whoever comes up with the the best nickname for DeMar will win a dope prize from the SLAM vault and get their name in Trash Talk next month.

    DeMar DeFROZEN. For the cold weather above the boarder in Canada. Also for the frozen camera shots he gets when he’s making a poster outta someone. And it must get cold when he plays that high above the rim.

    DEDE after the character from “Friday” because he attacks the rim like a crazy eyed man child. And both rep Cali.

    or… DeMar’s Rising…fits with his name and…well…when the man jumps he just keeps rising….or DeRozan Potion cause the way he leaps begs you to wonder if he’s got some kinda of magical potion…since good things come in 3…Frozen DeRozan, cause he makes the defenders seem frozen when he skies over them..and it sounds good

    What about DeMar “Magnum Force” DeRozen…

  • JKryptonite

    DeMar “VelociRaptor” DeRozan.

  • JKryptonite

    If not my original choice of “VelociRaptor”,
    then at least something that characterises DeMar as a force to reckon with.

    DeMar “Dinomite” DeRozan,
    DeMar “Com10 Kid” DeRozan,
    DeMar “Daredevil” DeRozan,
