Andre Iguodala's nickname

Rumor had it that Andre Iguodala hated being called 'Iggy'. Then, he confirmed it on his twitter (no longer there) Unfortunately, I've been referring to him as 'Iggy' for the past year. I sincerely apologize to him and his family. I also want to apologize to this guy. A new season of previews, recaps and game threads is still a ways a way, but I need to have a nickname or two in my arsenal that I can go to on a regular basis. You guys did such a good job voting on the Liberty Ballers headline, I'm putting the fate of Andre's nickname in your hands. Vote away... (and throw alternate nicknames in the comments)

I might be wrong.
But if he doesn’t like ‘Iggy’ I don’t think he’ll like Tiggy, Biggy, Aiggy, Jiggy, Wiggy or any other Iggies.

But I go with Dala out of all of them… Dollar Bill is already a HOFer and a Congressmen!

I voted for the springfield slamma
Only because I strongly feel that nicknames are something special. No one should create their own nickname, rather, it should be more of a trend created by other people. I like Iguodala a lot, but if you are going to call out and dislike a nickname that has been given to you, you deserve a cheesy one in its place.
Thus: The Springfield Slamma

referring to game winners… hopefully he will score more !!
I like Springfield Slamma also

Springfield Slamma is pretty good. I guess if Miller isn’t here next year, we can just call him Andre.

Why not something like

Spaceman – my fav
The Baron
Batman (Dwight is superman) – someone find a better superhero name

Exhibit A
its catchy and not to technical where someone has to ask what it means

well catchy but
IMO a corny name when u have to say it in conversation.

I always liked Spider
and his distaste of his current nickname isn’t news – he’s hated it for a whie – he also hates AI2 or ‘the other AI’
"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."
Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

But a name given to him by a team mate – marc jackson (remember him) called him spider – it makes no sense – it’s why i like it

If I recall correctly, he hates Iggy because it was his older brother’s nickname first. He just dislikes nicknames that are hand-me-downs or derivatives of others. Can’t say I disagree, let the man have his own ID.

I've been watching a lot of Mighty Ducks lately.
And I desperately want the Sixers to have two ‘Bash Brothers’

“A lot of MIghty Ducks lately” – dude i thought you were enjoying your summer.
Sadly, I saw that movie IN THE THEATER
Here’s the thing – and there’s some line in a movie or tv show i can’t remember – but the gist is – you don’t get to pick your own nickname

And is there a rule about someone else picking your nickname?
by jsams on Jun 18, 2009 8:24 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
BTW
I think ‘Exhibit A’ and ‘Springfield Slamma’ are my favorites. Dre is okay too, but it’s a little too basic for me.

Out of the ones you posted I like Dre Dala but we could just call him his name on Twitter AI9

I believe when he stated he did not like Iggy, he stated he would prefer Dre. Does anyone else remember this or not?
by DeanH on Jun 18, 2009 9:06 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Well let’s see
he doesn’t want iggy cause it’s already taken
there’s this guy named ‘dr dre’ – so i think dre is taken as well
Serously – are we really this bored?

not worthy
a good number 2 player who has to play as a number 1 player should not have one, but if we have to choose i would go with Andre the CAT, since he went to the university of Arizona which its nickname is wildcats as i hope you all know since college basketball is much better than nba

Do you really believe the stuff you write or are you just writing nonsense to get on peoples nerves? I’m trying to understand, i always thought 83 was the year you were born, but I’m not sure that would be possible, but if it were true it would be sad.

I take that back, someone said BATMAN earlier in ths post and that seems perfect, since he flys like a bat in the air and also should of won the dunk contest over nate robinson, that my friends was Andre’s victory, he never needed 15 tries to execute a dunk

Can we establish a new rule? If you write ‘should of’ or ‘would of’ or any other challenged bastardization of the english language you’re banned for a week?

Calm down
how about you chill out magee, i thought you would figure out the sixer83, but i guess not. last time the sixers were good, winning the title in 1983, since they are going back to those jerseys maybe they will be legit and have a title shot, i as im sure you are do not want to see the lakers win the title again.

Too comic book geek – too few people will get it – but i’ll vote for it – i’d like him to go back to 4 since the jersey i have is a 4 jersey

Sticking with the Dr. Dre theme, why not knickname Andre after Dre’s best album?
I’m thinking Iguodala will like this one.
