Let's face it, the Labours of Perkules has been completed.

He can now take his place among the Celtics deities.

I do like this nickname as long as he keeps playing worthy of it.

though it doesn't roll with his name the way Perkules does, I think a good complement to this nickname would be Mercury for Rondo. It rhymes with Hercules and it is fitting.
Mercury was the messenger god... rondo delivers
Mercury was well known as the fastest god
and Mercury was the Patron of thieves and cunning.

I know it doesn't quite roll...
Mercury Rondo
Mercury Rajon
Rondo Mercury
or just plain Mercury

but plenty of players have names that don't fit til you start repeating them

matrix
mamba
or
the Truth

Mercury and Perkules the green gods. Hopefully they'll be winning games for us long after the departure of the big 3.

Yeah, Perk has some decent nicknames already.  Perkules, Perk, Beast (usually in conjunction with "Perk is a beast" or "beast mode".)

It's Rondo who is the tough one.  People have tried to start nicknames based around "Rage", but it just isn't sticking.

Perkules, nice. I think I'll start using that. Although, Mavs fans call Dirk "Dirkules" so this may be a bit of plagiarism. Not that I care what Mavs fans think.

Perk is a beast is my favorite by far. Rondo's name is just hard for some reason. We'll come up with something!

please, someone make a poll so the board can vote on the top nicknames!!! (i would except my ignorance of how to do such things is beyond belief.)

my contribution/suggestion for perk's nickname would be...

perkasaurus .... after all, he does lumber around, dwarfing others with his size and power. (though i certainly concede that his brain is a LOT bigger than a walnut.)
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Perkasaurus is awesome, or even Perkzilla, doesn't really roll of the tongue, but I totally picture him as a giant rampaging through a city, smashing electrical towers, eating cars, and everyone running and screaming in fear.

Berserk Perk
President Perk

A Man (credit goes to Gary Tanguay) ((Seriously, I like that...Imagine Mike Gorman with "There comes A Man, he gets the rebound, and A Man with the dunk")

As for the Perk/Rondo duo, how about "Rock & Roll"?
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

Perk is just fine. I don't think it needs anything else.

Rondo will just have to earn his way into something. It'll come. If it is just some silly dubbed name then it won't stick.
