DJO = The Dark Knight
« on: February 25, 2011, 08:29:59 PM »
Jim Mac mentioned on the Uconn broadcast that DJO wants to known as "The Dark Knight" in reference to the recent Batman movie.

Anyone know the story about this?

As opposed to a more "traditional" noble warrior image?

I don't think he should be able to decide his own nickname...especially one as lame as that.

Agree that he shouldn't be able to pick his own nickname but I don't think he can get a technical for saying "Pray to Me" after he drills a three.

Homer interviewed DJO on Buzz's show on 540 Monday night.  If I remember correctly, DJO says that when he uses his right hand on a shot, not a dunk, he wanted to be called the 'Dark Knight.'  Then he hit that shot at the end of regulation with his right hand.  Listen to the replay on 540 for a more accurate recollection.

I like it--The Dark Knight.

The team needs good nicknames for more of the players. We already have:
Crowder: Predator
Gardner: The Ox

Any others?

Crowder is not "predator". His nickname is "Beast"
Q: What's the difference between Bo Ryan and God?
A: God doesn't think he's Bo Ryan!!
