Since not every basketball player has a nickname, I've taken it upon myself to reassign them new nicknames.
Because everybody deserves a nickname. Tyler Hansbrough– "Psycho T." Little known fact, he got this nickname because he is clinically insane. At least on the court.
Ty Lawson– "Apparate." While many know him as "Teleport," Ty is actually a huge Harry Potter fan and would rather be known by this.
Q u e n t i n T h o m - as– "Q." Pronounced "Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue." Named after the James Bond gadgeteer.
Surry Wood– "Biscuit." The only nickname that is passed down from year to year. Consider it an honor, Mr. Wood, to bring us cheap biscuits, game after game.
Marcus Ginyard– "BSkis." Named after the way he delivers the ball to the basket just like he was able to deliver fresh grilled tortilla wraps.
Bobby Frasor- "Razr." This nickname is brought to you by Verizon Wireless, the official cell phone network of UNC basketball.
Alex Stephenson – "Beez." Short for Beelzebub, which is another name for Lucifer, which is the name of the Devil, which this scary man looks like. Minus the horns.
Will Graves– "Pooh." Has a Winnie the Pooh tattoo on his left forearm. I'm not sure why either.
Danny Green– "Elf." Is known to bake delicious cookies and bring them to team meetings.
Deon Thompson– "B+." Deon earned this nickname after his G.P.A.
Marc Campbell– "Mark." Most people just forget that his name ends with a C and not a K.
J.B. Tanner– "Crazy." The second craziest person on the team after Psycho T. Once ate an entire basketball. Without ketchup.
Wayne Ellington– "Bass." Pronounced like the fish, not the instrument. On one team building vacation, caught a 5 lb. wide-mouth bass. The name stuck.
Jack Wooten – "Woot." It's just really fun to say and yell.
Mike Copeland– "Barry." Has a beautiful baritone voice and thus is named after it.
Patrick Moody– "The Bard." The team poet, enjoys classic Italian sonnets and the whimsical musings of e.e. cummings.
And last but not least...
Roy Williams (Coach) – "Coke." Not because of his endorsement deal, but he is known by this to his players because of his stint as a drug smuggler for several high end Columbian drug lords back in the ‘60s.
