[...] utter lack of selfishness: he dished up nine assists and took only eight shots. And Serge “There Must Be A Nickname For This Guy” Ibaka managed to foul out for the second time in five [...]

@Danny for some reason I keep coming back to this site, knowing almost everyone of you is sleeping, just to check if somehow somebody leaves ONE comment. I have to read it asap. Right NOW, not later. I check this site when I am at work, when i am about to sleep, whenever i get internet access. guys beware, Daily Thunder is addictive.

FYI, Darnell Mayberry prefers The Sergeon and Mike Sherman likes Serge Iblockya.

I’ve heard people call him Air Congo before I think. That’s decent.

How about “The CONG”? or just “CONG”? It would be a nice slow chant that starts in loud city and builds slowly down to the Nicholson seats, then the Thunder drummers pick it up….

cong, cong, cong, cong, CONG, CONG, CONG!

Works for blocks and dunks I think?
But I vote for Ibaka Blocka too….

@MartzMimic
Agreed, Martz–this is cool.

Granted, Royce and the others have been doing a great job at providing regular and quality commentary, and that’s important for retaining regular readers. But I would like to see this blog’s stats (page views, comments, etc) in comparison to the other TrueHoop team-blogs. It looks like we’re growing quickly!

With that said: I’m partial to just calling Ibaka by his real (and incredible!) name. But if I had to choose, I would go with ‘King Congo.’

I’m weary of slapping him with a nickname that incorporates blocking shots when he’s yet to play a real NBA game and accumulate any blocked-shots. Plus I don’t want to limit him: I have a feeling that King Congo will also be known for his rebounding and dunking before long. =)

I vote for Sergesaurus Rex. I think he’ll be more than just a shot blocker, plus the Rex incorporates the “King” from King Congo.

I dont think he winds up on the end of the bench. I can see him taking Etan’s spot in the center rotation.

I like Chewie it has that broken logic feel.
