What’s My Name?

Elton Brand needs a nickname

Too many of today’s players lack a memorable tag. We at SLAM find this unacceptable; now we’re doing something about it. Each month, we bring you a player whose skills demand something more memorable than a shortened version of their name—and that’s where you come in.

This month, your target is Elton Brand. Elton is not one for self-promotion; he just goes for 20 and 10 on the regular with some blocks thrown in for good measure. Now he needs a decent nickname to match the substance. Go to slamonline.com/contests/ and give us your suggestions for a worthy nickname for Elton. Whoever comes up with the best nickname will be blessed with a dope prize from our vault and their name in Trash Talk next month
