Probably not lol...

You could run with \"Al J\" and turn it into \"Algea\" like the disgusting pond scum. \"Algea\" sounds like \"Al J\"

e.g. Jefferson is Algea (aka disgusting because he's so good) out there on the court tonight. And then his name would just be Algea, rather than saying \"Al J.\"


Ok, I'm officially an idiot. That was stupid.

No, not officially.

We could call Al \"Algea\" and we could call McCants \"Pond Scum\" to keep with the theme!

No offense, but I feel like that is the lamest nickname trend out there. Now we have to deal with \"T-Jack\" along with all of the other ones out there. I'm just glad we don't have to deal with T-Hud anymore.

It doesn't really fit Al, but I feel like someone needs to reclaim the moniker Dr. Dunkenstein. I think that's one of the greatest nicknames ever.

How about just AJ? Like KG, kind of. KG wasn't K-Gar or \"The Great Defensive Rebounder\" (I mean the nickname). He was KG and \"The Big Ticket\". Where did they come up with \"The Big Ticket\" anyway?

AJ is good.it's simple and not pretentious.It's definitly better than Big Al.I'm not sure where Big Ticket came from but maybe we could call Al \"The Empty Seat\"

Well, they were calling Al and Smith the \"Floater Brothers\" tonight...

After watching the Suns game last night I came to a realization. Big Al is Big Al. It doesn't matter if a name is good or not, if you have it long enough it becomes you. Big ticket was a stupid name yet we proudly call Kevin by that name because that is who he is. After seeing the suggestions so far I believe we won't be able to magically come up with a new nick name. When he becomes the all star that he will be maybe we can come up with a \"second\" name that constitutes greatness. I don't believe he's reached that yet but he will!

PS, Algae was pretty good CW. We could say \"Algae, he grows on you!\"

Haha thanks.

Yeah... maybe Big Al is just Big Al. Plus, I think he's been called that since High School. Maybe we shouldn't mess with a good thing, so to speak.

I came up with this one the other day. I don't think it's lame. You never know with these things.

\"The Deliverer\"

Kinda fits along the \"Mail Man\" line where he always delivers, but also has a secondary meaning like he's \"The Deliverer\" who will save this franchise.

What do you think?

How about The A-Train? *shrugs*

Or how about we call him OLD-SCHOOL?


I like THAT second one myself.

Armageddon

Al Jefferson is the second major star for the wolves. I'd like to do a play on the second coming in the bible. Plus it Armageddon sounds very bad a** and intimidating. If we could get Harlan to say it a couple of times... and get Al to break a backboard to two I think we'd be in business.

Note: I specifically didn't say \"The Armageddon\" because using The in front of every nickname is played(The Answer, The Truth). The only thing worse is the first initial and first syllable of the last name thing (A-Rod, T-Mac). On that note I call Tavarius Jackson either Mr. Jackson or TJ because I refuse to submit to T-Jack and I am not going to learn how to spell Tavarius.

Old-School is solid. The more Jefferson improves that jump hook he uses when sliding into the lane the more that name works. It also works great for announcers.

\"Old-School just graded the finals for his course in Western Conference Finals Butt Kicking and his graduate class in NBA Finals smack down starts next week\" - Gus Johnson cerca 2010

I think Old-School & Armageddon are the best 2 nicknames in this whole thread. Way to step it up a notch, guys!

I might have to start calling him Old School...

Wow... I thought this thread had died a slow painful death, but then you guys really stepped it up.

I really like both Old School and Armageddon as well. Awesome. Maybe we will be able to have a vote at the end after all...

Armageddon...Daddy likes it, but they will never call him this.
