Keyonte’s nickname ideas

[The Midnight]

Gotta think about the branding. KG is too closely linked to Kevin Garnett and CP3 is too closely linked to Chris Paul.

KeyG3 is easy to brand, but stands out as still unique. Definitely only one Keyonte George in the world - it should be something that is easily recognizable.

Yeah I can see what you’re trying to do my only concern is “key” and “k” sound quite similar..

Yeah but how does that relate to Keyonte?

It’s like how AI was nicknamed the answer. He’s the foundation

I’m speechless.

What if we called Keyonte "Rudy" and called Kessler "Gobert"? We may have to expand this over time with the number of outstanding picks.

Yeah I should have credited the KG3 one to you, I forgot where I saw it .. lol..

No one deserves credit for initials + jersey #

I think Key will be one that sticks... its easy its short... I'm telling you it is what the players will yell when getting his attention. Its boring but that's what I'm going with.

He can develop a different longer nickname like The Finnisher later... but unless its organic its going to be cheesy and dumb. Let it marinate... don't force fetch to happen.

Lmao do you think players called Jordan His Airness or Air Jordan in game.

We aren't brainstorming basic shorthand nicknames, those are obvious which is why they are used.

Saint George
Special K (he is also very fond of using the term "special" to describe his game from interviews I've seen, so I think his narcissistic side would appreciate this)
The Key

Those are probably the top 3 actual nicknames that could possibly stick.

And yes, obviously people will just call him Key.

No but in interviews my guess is players/coaches will call him Key and that is how he will be referenced... It will become his primary nickname. I think the bigger nickname needs to be organic and Boler needs to be fired before he gives him a dumb one.

I also don't think MJ got his nicknames because the internet forced something weird through a discussion forum.

I don't see the difference between people in the internet brainstorming a name vs a corporation or an announcer.

Goberts nicknames came from people on the internet saying stuff until some caught on.

Boler would probably give him something like "The Magician"
