Too early for a nickname???

[VaBeachOrFan]

I've referred to Gbinije in the past as G, and others have called him "Silent G." However, not only is the pronunciation of his name hidden among the consonants, but no one seems to have a clear picture of his game or abilities coming into the fall season. Why don't we just call him "Stealth" and be done with it?-VBOF

That's just the beauty of Silent G. The G is silent!

I like Silent G and he seems to be down with it. Why change?

Also, he's been on the scene for awhile. If you don't know his abilities by now, that's on you.

I like stealth as a backup nickname problem is people can alsco confuse that with Roberson in transition.

 

[SU_Fan_in_VA]

Real G's move in silence like LasaGna!

 

[orangefan13]

Maybe its time for him to put the silent down. Hes had a quiet two years and a offseason.

We haven't seen a video of him since last years midnight madness.

As he's already been teased about it, Jumanji.

While I won't be referring to him as Jumanji I will likely now shout JUMANJI! everytime he drills a big shot.

I didn't realize you were on the coaching staff with that information.

Sorry, stealth is used with the paid side...which is truly stealth...any comment, insinuation and/or nickname that reveals this side of our board is out of order!

This article is a treasure trove.
And it supplies another good nickname besides Silent G:

"He’s a devout video gamer. A T-shirt that reads “Call of Duty Black Ops” hangs in his Syracuse locker. His Xbox gamer tag is BenniBoy0."

BenniBoyo!
Which, of course, can be shortened to "BB."

But the best thing in the article is this:
"He said he toyed with the idea of buying a pet monkey this spring, until he learned that New York State prohibits personal ownership of exotic animals."

Thickbur... awww nevermind.

Would it be pronounced Thickburer

 

[jekelish]

He should graduate from calling himself BenjiBoy and become BenjiMan, because it's all about the BenjiMans, baby.

I just don't think a nickname can be forced. It should either happen organically or because the person has specifically asked or accepted to be called by something different than his given name. Maybe it's just me.

Agree. Not only that, he probably has one his close buddies already call him that we might not be aware of.
I'm guessing it's Silent G though, ahahahahaha

 

[orangefan13]

Silent fits his name but not his game

Looking for a nickname, hmm? Perhaps I may be of some assistance ...

I was mainly replying to the second sentence of your first post: "Also, he's been on the scene for awhile. If you don't know his abilities by now, that's on you."

Got to agree with this. I have a feeling that by the time this thread runs its course, I'll have several others joining the Thickburger crew in my ignored cell block.
