一名职业运动员的生涯成就只由两件事来衡量：（1）赢得的总冠军数量；（2）他的绰号。在60%的情况下，绰号才是最重要的——而且是每一次都重要。“魔术师”约翰逊 (Magic Johnson)、“飞人”乔丹 (Air Jordan)、“大梦” (The Dream)、“黑曼巴” (The Black Mamba)、“答案” (The Answer)、“J博士” (Dr. J)、“人类电影精华” (The Human Highlight Reel)（我个人最爱）、“篮板圆墩” (The Round Mound of Rebound)、“传奇拉里” (Larry Legend)、“小丑” (The Joker)、“Logo男” (The Logo)、“冰人” (The Iceman)、“AK47”（另一个个人最爱）、“海军上将” (The Admiral)——这样的例子不胜枚举。
当一名NBA球员的绰号同时还意指其招牌动作或一个实际的篮球技术动作时（例如：“大梦”哈基姆的“梦幻脚步”），那简直是锦上添花，完美至极。对于圣安东尼奥马刺队来说，两位新援的绰号就颇具此种篮球动作风格：凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 的“凯利持球杀” (Kelly Keeper) 和卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的“科内特式干扰” (Kornet Contest)（如果问我的话，我会选“Kornet Kontest”这个谐音梗——可惜没人问我）。
相比去年，本赛季初奥利尼克打5号位的时间相当有限，所以斯波教练一摆出那套阵容，我们理所当然地就看到了“凯利持球杀”。pic.twitter.com/ew2FctfJqL

这两位球员预计都将成为这支急需内线支援的马刺队中重要的首发或轮换球员。奥利尼克带来了投射、传球和篮板能力，而科内特则能提供掩护、篮板和护筐。所以，尽管我一直想把“文班情节”(WembanDrama) 或“索汉都能扇你”(If Jeremy Can Sochan You) 这样的梗植入NBA的流行文化圈但都未成功，但“凯利持球杀”和“科内特式干扰”的到来，为解说员雅各布·托比 (Jacob Tobey) 和肖恩·埃利奥特 (Sean Elliott) 在新赛季的解说中提供了一套朗朗上口的现成绰号。

说到伟大的肖恩·埃利奥特，他的绰号是“忍者” (Ninja) 和“兼容并蓄先生” (The Eclectic)，但蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 曾亲切地称他为“戴眼镜的烤蚯蚓”。邓肯还调侃过埃利奥特的“史蒂夫·乌克尔式眼镜”，这甚至早于近期人们将泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿 (Tyrese Haliburton) 比作史蒂夫·乌克尔 (Steve Urkel) 的热潮，后者曾在电视剧《凡人琐事》(Family Matters) 的某一集中统治了球场。绰号本是乐事，直到你大学校内赛的队友们都因为你是个“浪投王”而叫你“乔治·科斯坦萨 (George Costanza)”，那滋味就不同了。

Kelly Keeper and Kornet Contest carry over nicknames as new additions to Spurs roster
A professional athlete’s career is measured by two things and two things only: (1) the number of titles won and (2) their nickname. Sixty percent of the time, their nickname is all that matters — every time. Magic Johnson, Air Jordan, The Dream, The Black Mamba, The Answer, Dr. J, The Human Highlight Reel (my personal favorite), The Round Mound of Rebound, Larry Legend, The Joker, The Logo, The Iceman, AK47 (another personal favorite), The Admiral — the possibilities are endless.
When an NBA player’s nickname also denotes their signature move or an actual basketball move (e.g., Hakeem The Dream’s Dream Shake), well slap some Blackbeard’s Delight on or your favorite cologne that has bits of real panther in it, and call it a day. For the San Antonio Spurs, two new players have nicknames in the style of basketball moves: Kelly Olynyk’s “Kelly Keeper” and Luke Kornet’s “Kornet Contest” (if you ask me, I would go with Kornet Kontest — but no one asked me).
Minutes with Olynyk at the 5 had been fairly limited early this season, relative to last year, so of course the second Spo goes to that look we get a Kelly Keeper. pic.twitter.com/ew2FctfJqL

Both players project to be important starters or rotation pieces for a Spurs team in need of help on the front lines. Olynyk brings shooting, passing, and rebounding, while Kornet brings screen setting, rebounding, and rim protection. So while I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to embed “WembanDrama” or “If Jeremy Can Sochan You” into the NBA zeitgeist, Kelly Keeper and Kornet Contest bring a certain gregarious nicknaming convention for Jacob Tobey and Sean Elliott to utilize this coming season.

Speaking of the great Sean Elliott, his nickname was “Ninja” and “The Eclectic,” but Tim Duncan affectionately referred to him as a “burnt earthworm with glasses.” Duncan also teased Elliott about his “Steve Urkel glasses,” which predated all the recent Tyrese Haliburton comparisons to Steve Urkel dominating on the court in that one episode of Family Matters. Nicknames are fun until everyone on your college intramural team refers to you as “George Costanza” because you’re a chucker.
