RWB got his knee scoped. getting re-evaluated in 4 weeks. worry about that guys knees
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Wednesday, 12 September 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link
I had to think a bit who the hell RWB was. I've never seen that as a nickname or abbreviation. Always see Russ.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 19:53 (five years ago) link
search posts for 'rwb' in i love hoops and there's hundreds of results. might be just us tho
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:07 (five years ago) link
Might be me. I hate abbreviations and shit nicknames like LBJ or RWB or CP3 etc. LBJ is Lyndon Baines Johnson, not LeBron Raymone James.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:12 (five years ago) link
i think cp3 is the only current player i use that for, i don't like it otherwise

cmon yall this is standard practice
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:28 (five years ago) link
The worst is D Wade, because there are so many other Wade's we'd confuse him with.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link
Just because it's standard practice doesn't make it less stupid.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:31 (five years ago) link
i think its ok as an abrv but not very compelling as a nickname

i'm like 10 posts in and that thread is wild, like shouts to this guy whose floor prediction for michael beasley was a guy who had a much better career than michael beasley:
it'll be hard to pass up beasley with the no. 1 because at times he looks like a more athletic, bigger, lefty carmelo...
but for some reason it is very easy to imagine dude having an abdur-rahim-esque career.

it's a rare opportunity when your offhand nonsense is documented and turns out to be right. i wasn't that positive about beasley, but i still thought he'd be good.

btw gay who was the rumored #1 pick all year slipped to 8th on "character issues" - in this case cowardice - and was picked behind Andrea Bargnani LaMarcus Aldridge Adam Morrison Tyrus Thomas Shelden Williams Brandon Roy and Randy Foye
roy is the only guy on that list looking like he has a good shot of being better than gay and thats far from a lock

Wrong. Brandon Roy is retired and now coaches high school hoops in Seattle. He was easily the best player in that list, including Aldridge.
