"Qdoba"

Here is why:
  • To me, NBA PGs are like fast-food burritos: they do alot of things well, fills things up (the stat sheet), and takes control (of your appetite and the game).
  • At the same time, there are several good, quality burrito joints- Chipotle, Moe's, Qdoba, Neato Burrito, and my personal Cleveland fave Ohio City Burrito. PGs? Several top-flight floor generals in the NBA right now: Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo. Also several guys on that next tier that are excellent, like Tony Parker, John Wall, and Ty Lawson.
  • While we love Kyrie, he just doesn't belong in that top tier of PGs just yet. In that regard, Qdoba is just a notch below Moe's and Neato in my book.
  • Both Kyrie and Qdoba are a little overpriced- we all love Kyrie, but with the amnesty of Baron, that means it cost the Cavs 27 million dollars to get him. Great to have him, not doubting that... but that is a hell of a price to pay. Qdoba? Great variety but really, should a fast-food burrito cost that much?
  • Both are made up of quality ingredients. Qdoba with quality meats, veggies and tortilla selection. Kyrie with a great attitude, good upbringing and positive outlook.
hope this nickname does better than my vain attempts to get OSU fans to adopt Carlos 'Seagull' Hyde at a Buckeyes game a couple months ago...

I don't see how this could possibly not stick...

Me neither! Frankly, it should be a combination of the best ones, such as Qdoba "Kingslayer" Swirving. Thoughts?

Eh, I would go with Boo Boo Kyrie Fuck.
 
Kid is too humble and team oriented to have a nickname. Plus his name is Kyrie, does he really need a nickname?

If he does, it should be K-Smooth.
 
The Duke is bad because a duke is lower than a king. Also he only played like 12 games there.

Also "Black Mamba" is the dumbest nickname ever. No one can honestly think it's good, it's just repeated in mockery. It's a self-gloss that he unwittingly chose and references his rape-y past. And he got it from a chick.


So far all these names suck. The only one that is even a little decent is Dr. K. I guess.

Then again I have nothing to add... maybe "The Key"....? "Anarchy" (Anarky? AnarKI?)

Screw you guys I'm going home.
 
Honey. Badger. The most bad-assed life form in the animal kingdom.

Kind of agree with the free part - he doesn't really need a nickname with a name like Kyrie. But I have no doubt he will eventually come to be known as K.I., just because its so easy.

WINNER!

But seriously, the best nicknames happen organically. Can't force them. If Kyrie is meant to have a nickname, it will happen.

And I have to call out the people saying Black Mamba is a terrible nickname. Black Mamba is a fantastic nickname. Forget the fact he gave it to himself. Forget the fact that its Kobe (since that automatically conjures up bias). If someone described the nickname like this: "The mamba can strike with 99% accuracy at maximum speed, in rapid succession. That's the kind of basketball precision I want to have." That is an awesome fucking nickname.
