J.R. Smith wants to be called by his given name...

[bgetsbusy]

Earl?

 

[rap sizzle]

No name is worse than Plaxico. Seriously, who the hell calls their kid "Plaxico"? It sounds like gas station than a person's name

 

[paul is on tilt]

I hate the name Earl with a passion

J.R. is definitely better.

Are you serious with your comment? It doesn't matter if he is the IV,V, or VI. HE IS HIS FATHER'S JUNIOR. I'm just saying.

Well technically if he's the 3rd, then his father would be Jr. since he's the 2nd.

Technically you're correct, but if you name someone after you, said person is your junior.

We both can agree that Earl is a horrible name

This is a very mature statement from Earl Jr. I was surprised when I read this. Maybe dude is growing up? Maybe?

For me, I've always thought there were a ton of terrible male names, but only one truly terrible name for a female: Helga.

Helga?

Bertha aint much better.

Well... that didn't take too long.

Earl Smith? That's so eight hours ago.

Nuggets guard J.R. Smith made a big proclamation Tuesday morning - from now on, he wanted to be called by his given name, Earl.

But by game time Tuesday night, he was back to being J.R.

"There was too much controversy with the switch," Smith said after Denver's 90-89 win in Chicago. "I got a lot of calls and text messages and e-mails. It wasn't a good move."

Having served a seven-game suspension for his reckless driving charge this summer, Smith played against the Bulls at the United Center and finished with five points and five assists. He hit 1-of-9 shots.

His given name is Earl Smith III, but "J.R." came from people calling him "Junior."

"I just felt like changing it," Smith said Tuesday morning. "It's been a long time and J.R. has no significance to my name. My name is Earl, so I figured, why not?"
