I think Santa should be his new nickname, a little non sequitur but oddly cool nonetheless.

Because St. Nicholas was....or something like that.

because Jesus was white
NO......HE WASN'T. That is not what the book of his Revelation to Yochannon [John] says in Chapter 1. You brought it up. I can go into an in depth study if you want to.
But one thing about Burton is I think he has grown taller. I saw him last night and I am used to seeing the team up close and I can gauge height and weight well. He has gotten taller...he is still growing.
I might be pound for pound the one of the best molds of clay to work with from a physical standpoint for awhile. If he can get some more explosiveness, quicker lift, and flexibility and shiftiness and quicker feet laterally to what he already has he can be a big star moving forward.
Well see.

What in the world...???
Unsettling to say the least. The doctrine of the Nicolatians...Ole St. Nick. Pagan pastries.

Because he just
is. Just like Jesus was. Fox News does not twist facts to fit a sensitivity agenda.

How tall would you estimate him to (currently) be?
BTW - thanks for the good news. :)

Totally missed the reference here - the "Jesus was white" comment is about the recent Megyn Kelly segment. No one here is arguing that Jesus was actually caucasian.

Neither was she apparently. Her attempt at humor was just lost on us humorless people.
In other words, she's sorry, but it's our fault that she sounded like a racist trying to twist historical data to fit an agenda of railing against other people twisting said twisted data (now deemed fact) to fit their own agenda.
I find this similar to portraying an African folk hero as a Hispanic man or a legendary Japanese samurai as a Native American... just why? These are fictional characters developed in particular cultures so of course they are going to be associated with the ethnicity of those people.
So much for this turning into a Deonte Burton/Chuck Norris type of thread...
Deonte Burton is so ripped, his muscles' muscles won Mr. Olympia.

Looks like we need PTM to get a picture and his line drawing tools out to solve this.
Burton doesn't need a nut cracker....when he walks into a room the nuts crack themselves.

I agree. I was talking to my wife (another MU grad) as we watched the game and was telling her that Burton isn't that tall but he's built like a rock. And then they had him standing next to Otule and Juan and I'm like, "You know what, he's taller than I thought."
When Deonte Burton goes swimming, he doesn't get wet, the water gets Deonte
Deonte Burton doesn't sleep...he waits
Deonte Burton doesn't read books, he stares them down until they surrender the information he wants
Fear of the unknown is called xenophobia....fear of Deonte Burton is called logic
Deonte Burton doesn't flush the toliet, he scares the sh*t out of it
Death once had a near-Deonte Burton experience
Deonte Burton can win Connect Four in three moves
Deonte Burton can slam a revolving door
Deonte is the reason that Waldo is hiding
When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Deonte Burton
Deonte Burton can pass an eye exam, blindfolded
Deonte Burton can make a happy meal cry
Evolution is simply a list of creatures that Deonte Burton allows to live
Deonte Burton can sit in the corner of a circular room
Deonte Burton can unscramble an egg
Some people wear superman pajamas, Superman wears Deonte Burton pajamas
Sounds like "The Most Interesting Man in the World" advertising for XX. Is that what Deonte Burton is?

His nickname is the "Bull" last night he was seeing red. I just hope Buzz doesn't give him the red light on offense. I wish his aggressiveness could be bottled up and injected into J.Wilson.
I've enjoyed watching him thus far.

Actually, the only one that seems to have gained any traction is Bane.
His nickname is the Pit-Bull because of his big head and shoulders
Bane's better.
I like it because they both move in the same way/speed.
Burton at 6'5" is built to play a great power forward role much like. A 6'2" George Thompson did. Nothing will stop him other than the lack of playing time.

I think it's great too because of his subtle change of pace and fluidity for a man his size. He didn't finish it last night, but there was a fantastic drive from the top of the key that was explosive and you just couldn't see that by looking at him.
This didn't turn out so great the last time we tried it...

Good stuff Muskie and Tamu. But how do we really know? maybe he was latino? I mean think about it , how many white dudes are named Jesus and yet Jesus is not uncommon in the Spanish community.
Santa is Jewish. Period.
Play any tape of him backward and he clearly says, "Oy, oy, oy!"
I'd like to see an arm wrestling match between Burton and Derrick. I wonder who would win?
Derrick's guns are huge. No contest
