Zion Nickname

[Fightfan1]

I know there are already several Zion threads, so by all means lock or merge this... but I feel like the kid needs a good nickname. Zion is great alone. All the greats are known one name. Kobe... Jordan... etc. But even Kobe had Black Mamba...

A couple good ones I've heard... Duke Skywalker and Sexual Chocolate. The latter might not work because everyone is sensitive nowadays and it'll be construed as racist somehow, but I digress.

 

[Willcampbell]

I thought Mt. Zion was good enough.
OFC

 

[Shatterthesky22]

The Mountain that Flies

 

[DukeSky85]

Why would any grown man want to call Zion sexual chocolate...

 

[dukiejay]

I think Zion is good all by itself.

 

[Hurley22]

I think Zion is good all by itself.

Couldn't be a more perfect name for that guy. Nobody should ever be able to name their child Zion now. He may not be eligible to get his jersey retired, since we will just retire his name.

 

[retiredsoldier]

While watching him on game day, I see Zion in one way. And that's The Destroyer. It doesn't matter if it's rims, blocks or the guy guarding him. They all apply.

Deff this

 

[bullettoothtony]

Exactly. His name is pretty much perfect.

Those are the good ones you heard? What were the bad ones? Please tell lmao

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

This is an easy one. It’s Fatboy.

 

[skysdad]

I hope that when the NCAA tourney is over and we have won #6 we will call him March Madness. OFC

 

[SwatX1]

I hope that when the NCAA tourney is over and we have won #6 we will call him March Madness. OFC

And March 9th we'll call him Maye's Master

 

[TheDude1]

Zion. His name is already one of the most famous nicknames in sports.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Didn’t the nickname “Thanos” come from Zion, Cam, Tre and RJ giving each other either Avengers or Marvel themed nicknames? I can’t remember the other 3 though?

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Even if his parents traveled back in time, they couldn't possibly give him a name more unique and befitting him. It's made for the NBA, and will serve his brand well. Personally, I love it.

OFC

 

[skysdad]

If you know anything about sports and you hear the name Zion you know who they are talking about. When you hear mj or MJ you have to ask if its michael Jordan or Michael Jackson. OFC

 

[skysdad]

I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of new born babies both male and female this coming year. OFC

Yeah, I don't think racism is the reason that won't work.

Yup. I could definitely see this. Very similar to Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq wasn't a name you ever heard pre-1990's, but fairly common to find athletes with that name nowadays.

 

[Voldukie]

"General Zion of Duke" or "General ZOD" for short..

 

[dukebluesTX]

Mount Zion is all I call him. Perfect nickname and not cheesy like Black Mamba or all that.

 

[Showenuff]

"Hahahaha Voldukie "NEAL BEFORE ZOD !"

 

[peterjurkinsquirtsroywilliams]

And March 9th we'll call him Maye's Master

I can't wait to see Luke Maye try to guard Zion! February 20th can't get here quick enough.

 

[Skeelow22]

I like Zanos.

A buddy of mine ordered a #1 Duke jersey from overseas with "Zanos" put on the back of the jersey.

 

[DukeDenver]

Zion is all he needs to be called, but since we're having fun:

"Chunky dunkster"

"Round mound of throw down"

"Sky Thighs"

"Mr. Momentum"

"The Big(ger) Ticket"
