For anyone who listens to Derek and I on the InIt2WinIt program, we thought we should provide a guide to some of our terminology. Because we are masters of NBA and San Antonio Spurs history, we use certain terms that newer fans may not understand. Let's start with a few nicknames (bold entries were INVENTED by Derek, Quincy, or II2WI): Shaquille O'Neal 1. The Big Crispy 2. The Big Charlatan 3. The Big Deceiver 4. Kazaam 5. Shaqfu (Shaq's street fighter themed video game for SNES) 6. Steak N' Shake (Derek) - We make several references to Shaq's children's movie "Kazaam," in which Shaq played a genie, and his super hero movie "Steel," both of which had remarkably poor box office results. LeBron James - Prince James (coined by the Great Skip Bayless)
Amare Stoudemire - Amare "Stoude-whiner" Dirk Nowitzki - Dirk No-Nutski (Quincy) Jason Kidd - "ason." - When Kidd was drafted by Dallas the fans thought his jump shot was so bad they called him "ason" because he had no "J." - We make fun of Jason Kidd because after multiple domestic violence charges in New Jersey, Kidd began blowing his wife a kiss before every free-throw he took. Kidd chose not to sign with the Spurs because his wife was pursuing a TV career in New York. They divorced, he broke his knee, and the Spurs won two titles without him. Pity. Josh Howard - ANY marijuana joke made on our show is about Josh Howard Jason Williams - White Chocolate Gary Payton - The Glove Stephon Marbury - Starbury Matt Bonner 1. The Ginger Avenger 2. The Red Rocket 3. The Maple Leaf Marksman (Derek) Ime Udoka - The Nigerian Neutralizer Michael Finley 1. Sharkey 2. The Boston Flee Party (Quincy) Brent Barry 1. Benedict Barry (Derek) 2. Trade Bait Barry (Quincy) Jon Barry - Barry the Less Avery Johnson - The Little General; AJ Vinnie Del Negro - Vinnie of the Black (Mr. Raul Vela) Portland Jail Blazers - The Portland Trailblazers earned this nickname in the early 2000's when Rasheed Wallace and Damon Stoudamire tried to sneak marijuana through an airport metal detector...wrapped in aluminum foil. Lamar Odom - Lamar Kardashian - We frequently reference the invitation to Lamar Odom's bachelor party which read: there will be plenty of midgets and candy Kobe Bryant - We make several subtle courtroom jokes about Mr. Bryant because we feel that someone should succeed where the People of the State of Colorado failed. To end a sexual assault trial in 2004, Kobe admitted cheating on his wife at a Colorado rehab clinic and apologized with a $4,000,000 diamond ring. These are not jokes - They are historical facts. Phil Jackson - We make fun of Phil Jackson for several reasons. He is old. He is known for using non-traditional coaching methods like holding Indian spiritual rituals in his locker room, and giving players books (Bulls guard John Paxson received "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance). - Jackson dates Jeannie Buss, former palyboy centerfold and daughter of Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss. We like to point out that Jeannie is old as sin...but still younger than Phil Jackson. - Montana: Jackson spends time at a ranch in Montana to clear his mind...God knows what else he's doing out there..... Well, this should be a good start, and allow listeners to keep up for the time being. I'll add a few more additions to our II2WI Dictionary, like how Ray Allen looks like Oprah with a shaved head!
