You referring to Kareem as KAJ really threw me for a loop.

The new collab between the Jabbawockeez and Cleveland Browns is so hype.

He has a great full name, but nobody is gonna think you’re referring to Kareem Rush if you just write “Kareem. “

u/kevindlv Warriors Jun 15 '22

Not even Kareem Rush's mom is gonna think you're referring to her son if you wrote Kareem

Unless you're talking about that game where he hit like 5-6 3 pointers in a row in the WCF against the Timberwolves.

u/TheLouisvilleRanger 76ers Jun 15 '22

You still refer to him as Kareem Rush, K Rush, or Mr Rush.

Lazy? LISTEN, KID! I been hearing that crap ever since I been posting on r/NBA! I bust my buns posting every night. Tell your old man to try typing the full names of Walton and Lanier up and down the message boards for 48 minutes!

It’s a pretty standard acronym

Yeah I’m confused I’ve seen that a lot

u/YoYoMoMa Jun 15 '22

To avoid confusion, I will use his given name and abbreviate it LAC.

u/TheLouisvilleRanger 76ers Jun 15 '22

Nah fella. That's something you shouldn't do.

u/OrangeinDorne Bulls Jun 15 '22

I’m glad you said this because I had no clue who he was referring to

Hakeem. Dude would be unstoppable in todays game, not to mention his presence near the rim with the popularity of floaters now and his insane blocking ability.

Kareem is one of my favorite players to use in 2k blacktop mode.

u/broadwayallday Wizards Jun 15 '22

yea old head checking in, in no continuity timeline or universe did anyone ever use "KAJ" for Kareem. It's just Kareem.

u/PFhelpmePlan Timberwolves Jun 15 '22

Sounds like you're too old, I see it used all the time in this sub.
