When we hear nicknames for our favorite Boston Celtics players like “Timelord,” “Don’t Google” or “Fast PP,” we know exactly who is being referred to immediately. But when it comes to the names the team calls each other, we might not know as much as we would otherwise.
With such creative aliases as Big Head, Bubba, Bandicoot, The Goat, Big Belly, J-Mac or Big Smoke, you’d have to work hard to guess who they might be. Others — like Big Tack, Pogo Stick, Big Deuce, No Fall or Nesquick — aren’t especially tough to decipher. And still others are simply the nicknames we fans use as well, like Juice or Smarty.
No comment from rookie point guard Payton Pritchard on the staying power of “Fast PP,” though.
