The NBA has tinkered with jerseys back in the sleeves of Adidas kits in an ad that appears in a recent Nike design. The league allowed Orlando to put a social justice message on his bubble game jersey.
The 2013-14 Miami Heat and LeBron James got their nicknames on their backs in their game against the Brooklyn Nets. But the nickname tradition dates back to Pete Maravich for “Pistol” and Elvin Hayes for “Big E,” and some want to revive it. One of the idea’s proponents? Ja Morant, Zion Williamson’s 2019 draftmate.
Morant took to Twitter to speak out in support of the idea. The tweet included two of the most iconic nicknames of this basketball generation: King James and Jesus Shuttleworth.
If the NBA goes ahead with the nickname idea, the New Orleans Pelicans have several options.
Zion Williamson: Zanos. Well, unless the NBA allows lightning and earthquake graphics as characters.Zion is Jordan inspired by Thanos On the court, but must leave the court The locker room was littered with Thanos’ chains.
Brandon Ingram: Slenderman and Humble Beast are listed in Basketball Reference. Just ask anyone who saw his first-round playoff performance against the Phoenix Suns. This is Ingram’s team in many ways. If the nickname game is upside down at the Smoothie King Center: Kingram or Slender King will do the trick.
CJ McCollum: CJ? First name base too basic? What would you say to Jennifer? Overshadowing the lack of respect for the All-Star Players is not his character as the leader of the Union. But what better way to let them know that the host of the Pull Up Pod is still his master in midrange pushing the Pelicans to the title?
Herb Jones: Not On Herb is as locally relevant as red beans and rice. But Jailhouse Jones has all the alliteration it takes to become nationally trendy. Even as rumors spread about the NBA Defensive Player of the Year nominee, some inside jokes should be left alone.

Jonas Valanciunas: JVs are simple. Lithuanian lightning wrinkles national pride. However, Big Science is sexy and is in the same lane as other great big men like Big Fundamental.
Trey Murphy III: Trigga Trey would stay here if he could become a full-time rotation piece in Willie Green’s lineup.
Jose Alvarado: Mr. GTA (or something along those lines) seems to be the only good option.
Dyson Daniels: Dizzy Dys or simply Dice. In his words, it takes a whirlwind aggressive game to keep it going. Vacuum cleaner related defensive ideas are available but Herb Jones is also on the roster Pelicans the Australian is a sure bet and overall he’s not just a gamble with the 8th pick I hope that
Jackson Hayes: Eastbay Hayes makes all the highlight plays during transition instantly available on his Instagram story. Since Hayes was drafted, last season’s East Bay dunk still stands out as one of the most impressive dunks in the NBA.
Nagy Marshall: It’s a family-friendly environment, so any vulgar Nagy name among the fan base is disqualified.
Willie Hernangomez: Willie the goat. Cabra de Castilla. Beau Cruz’s Big Brother. It’s hard for him to pick just one idea, but Hernangomez is sure to have a big smile on his face while finding the right creative touch.
Devonte Graham: The Pelicans need Downtown De’ at least to hit his 3-point career average.
