Should The Green Mile be Shaq’s new nickname?

I’m not sure whether Shaq wants to go to lunch on Tuesday, but The Green Mile works in my book. The resemblance to Michael Clarke Duncan (okay, not much of a resemblance, but they’re both enormous black men) puts it over the top. Just keep Mr. Bojangles out of this — I hate little rodents, maybe even worse than Percy does.

So what do you think? Does the Green Mile work? We’ve got a few new contestants in the poll today.

      I like this one, but I think I’d rather have something entirely fresh to Shaq. Creative though.

    since he’ll be wearing uniform #36, which was made most-famous in basketball lore by another GREAT personality, i.e., former ‘Trotters great Meadowlark Lemon, imho best-est nickname for big-fella would be:
    “meadow-shaq-lime” (w/lime of course being green & celts’ key-color)
