can we still call Fran “white magic”?

[QChawks]

With all the focus on derogatory terms

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Yes.

Or, if you prefer, go Stephen Bardo and call him: "White Jesus."

 

[BBHawk]

With all the focus on derogatory terms

As far as I know, "Black" is not a derogatory term, so "White" should not be, either.

you mean White Jesus . Just wait for the talking heads at ESPN to explode when Iowa trots out its starting line-up for 2020/21!

 

[VerbumDei]

If you got the name because you balled with Lewis "Black Magic" Lloyd, you're damn right you can still call Fran White Magic.

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Can we still call Al Lorenzen the Vanilla Gorilla?

[PlazaHawkeye]

I suggest 'Honkey Fran'

 

[Kurt Warner]

He's just 'Magic'. No one has ever used that name.

 

[Franisdaman]

i will always consider it a compliment so please do

 

[HawkLogic]

Based on his college stats, Fran's B-ball was far from magical.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Yes.

Or, if you prefer, go Stephen Bardo and call him: "White Jesus."

Strongly prefer.

When he is pissed, he turns to Red Magic! Or maybe Red-ish Magic...That shit cracks me up.

[HawkRugged17]

 

[HawkRugged17]

Yes.

[drew_hawk]

Same way Michael Jackson and Sammy Sosa did I'd assume.

African american, you insensitive whitey!

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

He's just 'Magic'. No one has ever used that name.

Magic Johnson?

 

[cidhawkeye]

He's just 'Magic'. No one has ever used that name.

“Nicknamed "Black Magic," Lloyd played his high school basketball at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, the same as Wilt Chamberlain.[1]”

I'm sure some context would be in order. His coach and players who played with and against him seem to have thought he was pretty good....

 

[Legend12]

Damn that was a great show.
