I agree with Ainge that it’s a poor nickname and has negative connotations too, sorry if this has already been pitched but ‘Lob Williams’ is much better IMO.

Agree?

Where did the “Time Lord” nickname come from?

Screw that. Stick with the crummy nickname and redefine it. The Volkswagen Beetle was hideous, and they pushed that fact with their advertising campaigns.

Live it, love it, redefine it by surpassing it with great play.

Time Lord is an awesome nickname.

I love the old Dr. Who with Matt Smith.

I love the Timelord nickname as well. If Williams doesn't mind it and embraces it, then keep it. It's different and cool.

Yes, absolutely. You don't make up nicknames by yourself.

Certainly not difficult to spin something positive out of a Time Lord.

Has 'the unicorn slayer' as a nickname for Jaylen Brown caught any attention?

I really liked that reference to him regularly dunking on talented big guys.
(Porzingis, Embiid, Durant, Pau Gasol, LeBron and Gobert are already on his list)

It started from negativity, but missing a couple appointments at the start of a career is hardly a big deal in the scheme of things.  It sounds cool.  I think he should embrace it and start dressing up as a time lord when arriving to games.



Maybe his teammates can haze him by making him do it.  It would be hilarious.

Well, it's still better than R-Will or RW44, which is the default nickname generator pattern for half of the league lol
