    What’s My Name?

    Jose Calderon needs one.

    Jose CalderonThis month’s target is Raptors’ point guard Jose Calderon, who is healthy and in full control of the Toronto offense. After recording the highest assist to turnover ratio in six seasons, Calderon proved he can protect the ball better than anyone in the NBA. Now he needs a handle worthy of his, well, handle.

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

      he is the “TORERO”. You know, the guy that drives the bull until cames “the MATADOR” to kill it…yeah…spanish things.

      [...] Thanksgiving-themed? Not really. We knew Thanksgiving was right around the corner when planning this. So…to get you mentally prepped for some of America’s best eats, we had to go with this pic for Sure Shot (not to mention Sammy D’s looking extra happy just to be Sammy D). What’s My Name, on the other hand, has no overt connection to anything going on in your lives. Sorry, we’re just surprised that this man (who, by the way is a perfect 40-40 from the free-throw line this season) doesn’t have a nickname yet! Give Jose his handle and Dalembert a tag line, and you’ll get a mention in the next issue along with an ever-dope prize from the SLAM Vault. var staf_confirmtext = ‘Mail sent’ #stafBlock { position: absolute !important; z-index: 100000; display: none; width: 200px; } #stafForm { background-color:#f60; border: 2px solid #000; padding: 5px; margin:0; } #stafForm h2 { margin:0 0 4px;color:#fff;font-size:12px !important;} #stafForm input,label, h2 {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #222222; } #stafForm .input_text { width: 90px;margin-bottom: 5px;padding:2px; } #stafForm label { float: left; display: block; width: 75px; line-height: 16px; } #stafForm .input_submit {color:#fff;padding:0 5px;} #stafClose { float: right; margin-right: 5px; } x [...]

      CalderONE, because he’s the number one point guard in the East.

    • Tom Posted: Nov.25 at 4:22 pm
      The only way “El Matador” could be a better nickname is if he played on the Bulls.

      How about Jose “I should switch on screens so VC doesnt hit two buzzer-beaters to kill us” Calderon

    • fluxland Posted: Nov.25 at 5:57 pm
      Mike - Matador is more appropriate, seeing how he lets opposing guards blow by him. OLE!!! OLE!!!!

    • doyouwantmore Posted: Nov.25 at 6:08 pm
      I miss the days when only a few players got nicknames. Having said that let’s call him Pepe. It’s the nickname given in spain to people named Jose.

    • Big Vrez Posted: Nov.25 at 6:34 pm
      Ocho Gallo - Ocho is 8, and Gallo is Rooster… notice his hands once he (or any Raptor) hits a three

    • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Dec.1 at 12:37 am
      @ James the balla: I don’t think you realize why JRS-One fit only for JR. Smith. First of all, his name is J.R. and his number is 1. Then the S is like “is”. So JRS-One = J.R. is 1. One can also mean number one, as in awesome, which adds to his nickname.

      Here’s a thought SLAM: why not have the player himself vote on the nickname? It wouldn’t have to be every time, just once in a while. I think it’d be cool for the player to have a say in his fresh new name

      His best possible nickname is “Mr. Catering”, as he serves too many assists. That’s what we call him in Spain and that’s the one he’s used to (TV & newspapers). But nice try all of you… LOL BTW, The Ballo Handlero = El manejador de balon. But The Ballo Handlero is so much better, it’s so funny! I’d say Ballo Handlero is the runner up. Greatings from España!
