Please explain to me this new idiotic "TimeLord" nickname for Williams ?
It’s the lamest nickname in the history of NBA basketball. Time lord is the type of alien “Doctor Who” is. It’s a long running BBC sci fi show that’s been going since the 1960s. It’s for children. He travels through space and time. They look like this:
Robert missed his first press call because he got confused by a central time zone - so some folks jokingly started calling him Time Lord because time lords perceive time differently in the show. Most people calling him time lord don’t realize how dorky it is and that it was a nickname created to make fun of Robert being an idiot.
but it sounds cool
only if you’re one of the millions of people not familiar with Doctor Who. It’s super nerdy. It’s like calling him Klingon.
So only nerds find it nerdy. I can live with that.
There’s millions of Doctor Who fans. Most of them would just find it strange that you are comparing Robert Williams to Jodi Whittaker.
The guys on twitter who came up with the nickname created it to make fun of Robert. It’s a nickname teasing him about his inability to keep track of time. Hence comparing him to a space alien in a sci fi show. It’s a running joke and the fact that the media is running with it without realizing what it is just makes the troll funnier.
You are taking this, perhaps, too literally.
