Someone said, "Now we know who Tristen Newton has been calling on the phone." Liam McNeeley. Which got me thinking about Liam nicknames. Obviously The Operator - He Snipes, He directs your calls.

I like where your heads at, but let's explore the space within the theme. Nobody under the age of 40 knows what an Operator is (maybe outside of the Matrix movies).

3G - He makes 3s and maybe he's a G.
5G - He's next level.
Collect - Another at this point old timey reference, but also suggests perhaps that he collects checks or names or bodies or whatever.
The Cell / The Sleeper Cell - Eh. Might not love the terrorist associations.
Cell Tower - Would be better if he were a 7'er
RFID - Even I don't get it at this point.

In the world of mobile phones, he’s more of a mobile hotspot than an operator. He’s gonna be hot wherever he’s shooting from.

I just want the NIL cartoon t shirt of McNeeley at a switchboard, so the kids are like what the hell. Liam already knows what a rotary phone is. Thats all I need to know.

Hotspot is very good conceptually, but I can't imagine calling a fellow human "Hotspot". Sounds like a bad super hero name. Maybe he goes by "Hots".

I value brevity in nicknames. Easier to type when 'yarding. I'll go with McN.

Every time he hits a three they play Jim Croce at the XL Center.

I imagine this will go as every other nickname has gone, lol. We will hear it from the staff/players and adopt it.

I think that's a good beginning, but we also need something to recognize how smooth his game is....

Nickname threads are stupid.
Id mostly agree if there werent NIL opportunities connected to these things. But feel free to delete the thread if the cringe is too strong.
