Truly great men are not bound by a single name

Real nicknames come out of necessity. They are not cavalier prognosticating or backhanded compliments. No, nicknames are sometimes just needed. No mother can predict what their son will become, and in certain instances, that hospital room declaration ceases to articulate the reality that is. Randolph Morris and Jason Collins are there. We know this.

We voted once. Too close to call. We casted ballots in a run off. Another back and forth battle. The masses remain deeply divided. Three names still seem to hold some truth. So maybe, just maybe this is a duo that cannot be bound by one single renaming. Maybe these are men layered so deceptively deep they need more.

Star-divide

In cases like this, no man can speak for another, but ground rules must be made. Randolph Morris and Jason Collins can be called one of three names The Happy Meal, The Victory Cigar, or Jandolph.

The Happy Meal- One must use this name when both men are seen in a single camera shot not actually playing. There are no exceptions. If the duo enters the game with the Hawks down big, one can continue to refer them as such, but sarcasm must be thick. First person to find a picture of these two hugging and puts this caption on it, will win my affection for life.

The Victory Cigar- Any appearance in a blowout win will garner this reference. As a side note, if I am ever at Phillips and hear someone shout this out, I will buy you a beer. I don't care if you are 12.

Jandolph- Camera shots or references to one of these men on the bench can bring out the use of this phrase. Especially if it involves Randolph smiling.

Sometimes partisan passion needs to be to the side. Sometimes men are bigger than one side. In the case of of our third string front court, this is clearly the case. So let us come together, embrace the renaming and get excited for the the Happy Meal, the Victory Cigar, and Jandolph's next appearance.

Thanks for voting. You are true Americans.

But if they're both in the game at the same time

Then it’s probably late in the fourth quarter, and beer sales are closed. So the deal is what, meet you at Taco Maco?

yes taco mac.

it will make it harder for the 12 year old but the deal stands for everyone else.

Okay, but if ever

 Randolph, Jason and Othello are on the court at the same time, we must refer to them as Excessive Celebration. This can’t be up for debate. It just has to be so.

Co co

You are assuming they are on the court in a blow out win….They could all be in the court in a blow out loss!!!!lol

In which case

They’re the “Why are you still watching?!” duo.

by Bronn on Dec 14, 2009 8:12 PM EST up reply actions  

Well, it can still be used,

just in regards to our opponents instead. If they’ve beat the Hawks to a point where those three are on the floor, then they’re celebrating excessively!

New Name - Morris and Collins

How bout the Ambiguously Gay Duo? Sounds perfect to me.

by Kobe's Rapist on Dec 15, 2009 5:52 PM EST reply actions  

In a 'Teague' of his own.

The blow by the defender.
The chase down block.
The in yo face dunk.

These are the skills that put Jeff in a ‘Teague’ of his own.

" MR.24 "
