The Legend Of Robbie Avila Grows With Twitter Giving Him The Incredible Nickname Of.... Cream Abdul Jabbar

And on and on we go. You get the point. The point is Robbie Avila is college basketball's superstar. He's the guy we're all falling in love with as he rocks his rec-specs and drops double-doubles on everyone and anyone. 

We don't need to talk about his game, that's well-known at this point. We need to talk about the fact he's been trending for everyone calling him Cream Abdul Jabbar. It's fantastic. It's an elite nickname. It's so good that nicknames like Larry Blurred and Larry Nird have been overshadowed. No one is talking about him being the college Jokic anymore, he's just Cream. 

We go through the greats of March every single time. We know the Pittsnoggle's, the Harold Arcenaux's,and everyone else in between. Let's get Robbie Avila, excuse me, Cream Abdul Jabbar, to that point. I need Indiana State in the NCAA Tournament (they are fucking good, by the way) so everyone in America will tune in and see Avila in all his glory. Slow-mo, dropping dimes and just scoring 35 in the blink of an eye. 

More importantly this is all about nicknames. You can't dub yourself a nickname and that's happening far too often these day in sports. It has to be natural. It has to start on social media or Chris Berman and then grows from there. That's the beauty of this. Robbie Avila didn't demand people call him Larry Blurred or Cream Abdul Jabbar, instead he just dropped 35 and America did its thing. Beautiful.
