With tonight’s 14-point performance, Mindaugas Kuzminskas has officially reached the point in his career where he needs a really sweet nickname. Officially. Once you score 14 in a game, that’s when you get a rad moniker, that’s what it says right in the NBA rulebook. I’m paraphrasing a little bit, but I didn’t want to put the whole legalse-stuffed paragraph in front of you guys without warning. Don’t believe me? Look it up. The facts are on my side.
So, Kuzminskas needs a nickname. I’ve been brainstorming a bit and have come up with a small list for your consideration:
-Mindingus
-Big Kuz (note: any incidence of the syllable “kuz” is pronounced “cooze”)
-The Kuz Ball
-Archaic Invocator of Apocalypse Storms
-Dunkin’ ‘Daugas
-Buffet of Goodness
-wait that one’s already taken
-White Flight
-there’s no way that one hasn’t been taken
-Granny Style
This is just a taste of the possibilities, but these ones are pretty good I think. Let me know which one you think is best and I’ll tell the NBA of our decision.
