Baylor Scheierman has officially declined the nickname “Big Shot Bob,” creating what can only be described as a full-blown locker room crisis.

The tension between the young guys and the veteran core is clearly at an all-time high. Hugo González is definitely siding with the vets here—no chance he’s letting that kind of pushback slide.

The Celtics now face a tough decision: resolve this internally or risk the entire season collapsing over a nickname.

Look its a hard truth to face but unfortunately its not up to Big Shot Bob what we call Big Shot Bob. KD couldn’t stop the Slim Reaper. And Big Shot Bob ain’t stopping Big Shot Bob

Yea but that’s because there’s no other Slim Reaper. There is a different Big Shot Bob, Robert Horry.

You can’t just take someone else’s nickname. Caleb Williams is a clown for trying.

Thank you because this is the elephant in the room. Big Shot Bob is done taken. And it’s by a guy who won NBA playoff and championship games, in multiple seasons, with BiG shots.

KD absolutely dodged slim reaper and it should have been at that moment we all realize he was going to be a special kind of soft

sorendiz | HOU

I don’t really blame him for that considering the context. He didn’t want to have a nickname associated with death at that point because of the death of his first coach and mentor in a shooting. KD wore #35 in that coach’s memory, so it clearly affected him a lot.

HotPen8106

He never once said the aversion to death association was related to the coach, and has since come out and admitted it’s a sick nickname.

I mean to be fair, especially in today’s day and age, we need to let people be called whatever they want to be called. Big Shot Bob seems like a pretty easy going guy, we should really take Big Shot Bob’s feelings into consideration.

When Scheierman has 7 rings, then maybe he can be. Until then, he isn’t

He’s rejecting that nickname because since he’s been growing out his hair and moustache he was hoping they would call him “Baylor Bird”.

He picked 55 because 33 was retired.
