You know who comes to mind when I think about Sean Kilpatrick?
Marshon Brooks. Mar$wag. Mar-dollar-wag as I pronounce it.
Both players are prototypical Kobe-esque shooting guards. Both play or played for undermanned Nets teams who needed their scoring in a bad way. Both like to score points, although neither was necessarily expected to have a lot of success in the league. Both have nicknames incorporating dollar signs, now that my audacious new nickname creation “$ean$wag” has appeared in print.
By the way, it’s pronounced “Shawnswag”, not “dollar-een-dollar-wag”.
The main difference is that Kilpatrick is just plain better. At least, that’s what early returns on this season say. He might regress as the games pile up and take a toll on his energy levels. Or he might regress just because he’s overperforming right now. But Nets fans have got to be happy with his scoring abilities. Joe Johnson who? I don’t know that name. $ean$wag is the only name I know now.
