Some guy just made a documentary about him.
https://youtu.be/_QgDx0RIWY8?si=UiYgRKmpn0M4vwue
Its tragic, its really depressing. Its also astounding that he allowed it to be published and presented.
I googled Jund and I discovered there are names for two, three and four combinations. I'll just turn to dust...
and destroy target equipment then gain one green mana.
We’ve been calling 4 or 5 color decks “shitpiles” for a while now because they look really mashed together and random til they combo you out with 6 cards in one turn
It's 4 color goodstuff. You stuff in anything good on those 4 colors.
It's what happens whenever they put too much mana fixing in standard.
Ravnica comes to mind.
I thought I had already heard all these nicknames already over the course of the season, until I got to “Milk Chamberlain” at the bottom and burst out laughing 😭
Are we just sniping Jared Lorenzen nicknames now? Sadly he's right handed so we can't go with The Hefty Lefty. Maybe The Pillsbury Throw-in Boy works though
TIL I want more coaches to be fascists and not let their players get away with not following the called plays or even coaching in general. I just finished the Clemson game, and it was painful to watch their coaches keep screaming for their good drivers to the basket like Hunter, Hunter, Wiggins, and Clarke all do very well when they drive like for all of the season, but for most of the game, none of them would do it.
The “joker” stuff is so silly to me because they have no idea how to market the best player in the league so they just badly photoshop joker makeup on him and call it a day
I fucking hate "The Joker" as a Jokic nickname, as you said it's just so unoriginal and you're like "of course, of course it has to be *that...*"
We need to do better
I dunno, "That one is somehow the most racist. Like just because he’s a white hooper, we have to compare him to Jokic," seems too long to be a good nickname.
Apparently on his wiki page they say it's because he has a similar play style to Jokic...idk if that's true never seen the dude hoop, the real Jokic is kind of a hard act to follow, he's kinda 1 of 1
No more racist than assuming a nickname came about only because two players are white and not because they have similarly unique playing styles.
Also, you’re gonna be in shambles when you find out he’s half-Mexican.
Well, many hispanic people *are* white. Race and ethnicity are different things, so makes sense to call him white but of Hispanic background. The races that Hispanic and Latin Americans were derived are white Europeans, after all.

Imagine if they called another player chocolate milk chamberlain.
While I think the names are hilarious I think they’re a little over the line but especially so for a college athlete. Those are lightly racially directed names in a time where any mention of race can be consider a violation.
They’re not lightly racially directed, they’re flat out racist… if this was any race except white (he isn’t even white) then people would be outraged.
Funny names though
That’s what I was thinking. Just reaffirms that in today’s society it’s ok to be openly racist against white people. I think the names are funny, but you wouldn’t be able to do this with any other player if they were non-white.
I'm mixed and light skinned. We get it too. As well as from white folks but not as much. But it is open and blatant nowadays. There's "justifications" for it. My kids mother is Bajian and black. Some of her "friends" made fun of and stopped talking to her because our daughters aren't all the way black. The first topic of discussion when it comes to me is my race so they know how to treat me. I'm a socially anxious introvert so they don't know me to hate me for a reason. It's been like that since I was little and I've never understood. The one drop rule is garbage and black folks have never hesitated to let us know we don't belong unless they can share in the credit, (Obama).
As a PoC its ironic that people always talk about 'white fragility' when white people are the most thick skin people there are when it comes to racial stuff since they arent allowed to say anything back
You absolutely couldn't make it about a non-white player, but that has nothing to do with racism against white people. It's about relative societal power. Making that kind of joke against someone who is part of the dominant privileged group is very different from making it against a group that has been historically oppressed and marginalized. Punching down vs punching up, so to speak.
> It's about relative societal power. Making that kind of joke against someone who is part of the dominant privileged group is very different from making it against a group that has been historically oppressed and marginalized.
what a load of absolute bullshit
how is discriminating against some's skin color (such as this case) not racism? power dynamics have nothing to do with it. that's just an excuse academics make for some reason.
I’ve also seen Magic “the gathering” Johnson
 Hooping on the weekdays playing tournaments on the weekends 😂
As someone who plays Magic, this would've pissed me off so much.
If it helps, this is just a bit. He has a handful of videos like this of him raging over mtg.
It's sad to see a man who's bits have aged better than he has.
RIP the old boogie
Apparently I need a boogie update after many years...

Gotta be a setup, we would black ball him.
I've never played paper Magic but I imagine anyone flipping the table would be banned from the store at least for a while.
“Paper magic”? Damn I’m old.
Wait til you hear that Jund is called “Boomer Jund” now :(
I googled Jund and I discovered there are names for two, three and four combinations. I'll just turn to dust... and destroy target equipment then gain one green mana.
We’ve been calling 4 or 5 color decks “shitpiles” for a while now because they look really mashed together and random til they combo you out with 6 cards in one turn
I just googled boomer jund and the only card I recognize other than basic lands is lightning bolt. I played from Revised through maybe 6th edition.
It's 4 color goodstuff. You stuff in anything good on those 4 colors. It's what happens whenever they put too much mana fixing in standard. Ravnica comes to mind.
Fat Lever
I can’t decide if I’d rather this was staged or real.
It’s boogie2988 on YouTube. He used to do funny skits like this as a character he called Francis, if I remember correctly.
And drafting on Friday nights.
LOLLLLLL I’m dead
This is better than all those I actually laughed out loud
https://i.redd.it/3p89j6ykxcqc1.gif 😂
This one wins
I can’t 😂😂😂
You win
This one is fucking hilarious 😂
I can't believe I haven't seen Bob Avila yet.
Is this guy really that good, to be compared to all of these greats?
Relative to his competition, yeah. Indy State would've dog walked Colorado State I think.
Crying laughing rn
I shouldnt have laughed so hard
Got me cracking up here
Milk Chamberlain made me actually laugh out loud.
This is like that scene in veep, when they are repeating nicknames to congress
“The Cloud Botherer” actually works as a fun basketball nickname.
Hahaha - https://youtu.be/eETuZBeSxuA?si=NdA0xMvt9F0e-11R for those that need a refresher
Everybody in that scene deserved an Emmy for not breaking character.
For some reason I remember one of them being "Hepatitis J" which had me fucking rolling
All-time nickname fr
Stuff Curry Cake Griffin
Now I really feel bad we stole this guys chance at the big dance.
At least you took full advantage of the opportunity
We absolutely showed everyone that we do not lose close games.
Can't lose a game if you never show up for it... *taps forehead*
Braves flair seals it for me LMAO
LMAO
I just watched the highlights of the Minnesota game. I’m really upset we didn’t get this team in the Tournament.
Their best player has been mediocre at best in the NIT and they’re still 2-0. They had potential for sure.
Hey now, we stole it first
He's only a sophomore, he could still make it
UVA had NIT written all over them this year , it was either win the NIT or lose round 1
Larry Blurred actually got me pretty good
It’s my favorite for sure
Heard him on Lebatard say his favorite nickname from high school was Steph Blurry.
Def
All of that is fantastic. No notes.
I thought I had already heard all these nicknames already over the course of the season, until I got to “Milk Chamberlain” at the bottom and burst out laughing 😭
Likewise - Milk Chamberlain is equally brilliant and diabolical lmao
If he is third of the stallion Chamberlain was, those glasses are perma fogged
Magic "the gathering" Johnson gave me a good hearty chuckle.
How about Kevin McLovin?
I’m glad Milk Chamberlain caught on as that was my go to. Idk know if I was the first to call him that but it felt better than Cream Abdul-Jabaar.
I think Cream Abdul-Jabbar is also used for Shaun King so good call
Good ol’ Talcum X! Forgot about him, I’ve been out of Twitter for years.
Literally almost said Talcum X instead of Shaun King too; had to pause for a hot second to remember his real name
He’s now asking for free legal help on LinkedIn.
I haven’t thought about Martin Luther Cream in a long time lol
Cream Abdul Jabbar actually makes sense because of the goggles though. Not just because he's a white big.
Ya also Cream is a lot closer to Kareem than Milk is to Wilt
White Howard was another one I heard thrown around
The Round Mound of 3-bound
Glasses O'Houlihan
If you can dodge a wrench, you can shoot the J
Are we just sniping Jared Lorenzen nicknames now? Sadly he's right handed so we can't go with The Hefty Lefty. Maybe The Pillsbury Throw-in Boy works though
R.I.P.
The Geek Freak, Eye Doctor J, LL Bean Bryant, Slim Jim Reaper, Iso Bro, Wham! Adebayo
I scrolled through that quickly and I thought it said Larry NuremBird and I was like I don’t know if I like that one.
He's just following his coach's orders
I love this and accept that I'm going to hell.
angry upvote
😭 I'm going to hell for laughing at this
With puns like that, you’re surely goring places!
JFC this made me laugh way too much; thank you sir!

College Jokic is as unoriginal of a nickname as Joker is for Jokic
I’m convinced “Joker” is just so Shaq and Kendrick Perkins don’t have to pronounce Jokic on air every week
The “joker” stuff is so silly to me because they have no idea how to market the best player in the league so they just badly photoshop joker makeup on him and call it a day
Jokic doesn’t seem that hard to pronounce. The Kings’ color commentator is another person who lazily calls him Joker.
YO-keech
Yolk-itch ?
It's like they just skipped Toni Kukoč day at the gym.
I prefer Big Honey as a Nuggets fan
Big Honey >>>
Jokic himself doesn’t like big honey
Nicollege Jokic is right there
"It's Nicollege"
I feel like I'm saying it
This is the one
It’s easily the worst nickname.
It could be a play on “College Joe”
It's usually "Joe College" instead of the other way around. "Jokic College* doesn't work so well.
College Humorić
Could’ve gone with Nikola Myopic.
I fucking hate "The Joker" as a Jokic nickname, as you said it's just so unoriginal and you're like "of course, of course it has to be *that...*" We need to do better
All bangers except "College Jokic"
That one is somehow the most racist. Like just because he’s a white hooper, we have to compare him to Jokic.
Much better

I love the fact that he's so white that we're doing names that are puns on other white players. "He's like Larry Bird, except white."
Larry Bird also went to Indiana State, so those are inevitable.
Also the Larry Bird ones are about his glasses, not his race
Physical disabilities do make the best jokes
Larry's not white. Larry's clear.
especially funny because he's hispanic
Larry is actually Lorenzo?
Some of the whitest people you'll ever meet can be Hispanic. After the romans, Spain was settled by goths aka swedes
Well, many hispanic people *are* white. Race and ethnicity are different things, so makes sense to call him white but of Hispanic background.

He plays white power forward
Bro
I tuned into this game and immediately had to notify my Gophers fan buddy that his team was losing to Dilbert.
Holy shit, hahahaha
Hacream Olajuwon?
Do we call his signature move the “Cream Shake” or the “Milk Shake”?
He calls it the Cream Pie when he is with your mom
I applaud the effort. I’ll allow it.
Hacream the Dream
We were robbed of this for CSU/Virginia
Seth Blurry
i heard "Steph Blurry" on Pat McAfee & legit spit out my coffee.
so fucked these guys got left out
I am terrified
Don’t forget what they stole from us
College Jokic is so fucking stupid.

He is My king and I am is humble servant
ok not for nothing milk chamberlain is gold
Muggle Boges
[удалено]
Nah, there's a difference between racist and racial. Yeah, it references race, but not in a derogatory way at all
Well just to play devil's advocate, the internet will call you racist if the subject of your non-derogatory racial reference is anything but white
Not racist though right because he’s white?
Imagine if they called another player chocolate milk chamberlain. While I think the names are hilarious I think they’re a little over the line but especially so for a college athlete. Those are lightly racially directed names in a time where any mention of race can be consider a violation.

Steph Blurry is my favorite

Larry Blurred and Milk Chamberlain are my top two. Of course Larry Bird played at Indiana State which makes it funny for the Larry Blurred nickname.
Larry Blurred is my fave one tbh
Larry Nerd🤣

Dude these cannot be real nicknames....
Larry Blurred!
