Attention basketball-reference: I love your stats, you’re a big help in righting these descriptions, but there is no way in diddly poodle-poo that Joe Harris’ nickname is “Beef Jerky Joe”. You just made that up, didn’t you? What does beef jerky even have to do with anything? It’s a totally nonsensical nickname that literally NO ONE has EVER said in the ENTIRE history of the universe. Or, if they said it, which they didn’t, but let’s say hypothetically that they did, it wouldn’t be in reference to Joe Harris.
“Lumber Joe” isn’t even listed among the nicknames (the only other one is “Joey Hoops”). Why is such a subjective data point even included on basketball-reference? So that when you search “Beef Jerky” on there, that something comes up instead of nothing? Because when I’m searching for beef jerky, it’s definitely on Amazon or something, and then I immediately close the browser because the costs for that stuff are way too high. But my rant against the price-gouging practices of the sleazy corporations that make up “big jerky” is not for this description.
If I had to go with a nickname right now, I’d go with “Sirrah”, which is “Harris” spelled backwards because sometimes he goes reverse on layups. Remember “Eelmulp”, Mason Plumlee’s nickname because he did reverse dunks all the time? That was the best nickname ever, and this hearkens back to that. Only problem is the word “sirrah” is used to address inferiors, so it brings the connotation that Harris is inferior to other players. Which he kinda is, unless we’re talking about shooting threes.
