There is no debate.

Wierd Celtics Twitter has spoken.

Timelord.

If I have to read another post talking about not liking Time Lord and then going on to suggest something even lamer...

For better or worse timelord seems to be sticking. Not sure if it can be reversed at this stage. I know it started with negative connotations but but honestly I think people are already forgetting why he's nicknamed that and are seeing it more in a cool/positive light. In the long run he'll define the name.

Personally I like it.

Players get nicknames from all sorts of weird places, some not exactly complimentary:

The Truth
Uncle Drew
Jesus Shuttleworth
Tiny
The Microwave
The Round Mound of Rebound
The Hick from French Lick
Fat
The Chief

There's tons of ways guys get nicknames and some nicknames aren't always perfectly nice. But they're cool, sometimes very original and stick. Timelord is cool. Hope it sticks

I love the Timelord nickname. It seems to have caught on pretty quickly recently. If I'm Williams, I just embrace it and make the nickname work for him. The name may have started from a negative idea, but he can also make every other team wish they had drafted him instead.

BTW, if Shaq uses the nickname during a TNT broadcast, then there's no going back. That's "The Truth".

How do you post an image?
Get the image off the internet by hitting the image and waiting for a menu and choose Open Image in New Tab. It will give you the image all by itself. Copy all of the link address(URL). Then come here, hit reply in the thread you want to post it in. Thenhit the image button under the bold type button above the Emojis. You will see [img.]and [/img.]. Paste the link address between them. It will then post the pic you wanted

If I were starting a big campaign right now I'd be trying to terminate the phrase 'make or miss league'.

I'm not sure, but that sounds like a make of miss campaign to me.

As Mike Gorman says, sports announcing is saying the obvious with an air of discovery.

Kind of like when Tommy Heinsohn started giving out Tommy Points. It just stuck.

Big Baby started from a negative place, but it stuck and he embraced it.  I like Time Lord and missing a couple appointments isn't such a big deal.
