Top Ten Roko Ukic Nicknames: Vote for your favourite!
Now that Roko Ukic had his one big game, he needs – yes, needs – a nickname. Below are ten suggestions for our Raptor rookie (Rokie?):
• Rockin’ Roko (Matt Devlin, Raptors TV play-by-play) — just like Dad
• Rokomotive — chugga chugga shoot! shoot!
• Roko Uno (attributed to Jason Kapono) — Everybody sing!
You can be my Roko Uno
You can pass to me when J-Kap won’t go
Be my (be my) be my (be my) be my Roko Uno
• Hot Cocoa (Prehistoric Hoops) — My supporting argument in Haiku:
• Roko Mocha Latte (U-E, Hoop Heads North) — Brings energy off the bench
• The Bellboy (via Paul Jones, Joey Graham, Hassan Adams) — “No. Tonight you pack my bags.”
• Roko B. Ware (J.E. Skeets, BDL) — Goes to the hoop “just like a piledriver”
• The Croatian Pistol (Pištolj) — Like Maravich, driving the lane with a little behind-the-back
Now, go to the polls (top right sidebar) and vote for your favourite!

Late on the “draw” with this one but how about the “Roko Runner?”
Beep beep.

Roko Ono.
He’s either breaking up set plays or shooting threes (”oh, no!”).

It’s gotta be Roko Uno — too much poetry in it for me.
I did have “Roko Oh-no!” in my head before you came up with this poll, but the “Uno” part is more appropriate. Particularly as he gets better and drops the “Oh-no!” part of his game…

If we acquire Josh Howard I submit we call him “Roko Toko”.
