I personally love Mike Tirico's idea today, as he refered to him as "Red Bull". Just fits perfectly, what do you think?

I liked it
TeaLeafReaderII
I've heard him called

Red Bull
El Torro
Raging Bull
Noch
Chapu

I think Chapu is what they called him in Argentina... I think it would be a real cool chant in the UC... bet it would really fire him up. cheers.gif

While were at it lets give everyone a nickname. Red Bull was a good name.

someone in another thread said it was the name of an Argentinian superhero.

Its from a mexican tv series (El Chapulin Colorado)

Chapulin is very similar to the bumble bee man on the Simpsons. It's incredibly popular in latin countries and the name translates to "the Red Grasshopper"

I like the Red Bull idea. Either way he's a freaking beast. I love Noc, Deng and Hinrich.
Serbbojo
Noc has gotta be one of my favorite players, and prolly the biggest steal for the bulls since he went undrafted.

i like all those names we just need every one in the UC to know what we are talking about so they chant along.

Hey! Great idea that maybe Chapu would get him fired up! May bring good memories or something! Red Bull is also good! Oh this is difficult!
The Gladiator
I Like the Red Bull but how bout... The Wreckless Warrior!!!! biggrin.gif
Doze06
Ive heard people call him the Argentinian Animal.

how about "El Torro Rojo" (the Red Bull) in spanish.

coz' when i met Noc i spoke to him in spanish and well, for the ppl that talked to him in English he pretty much stayed quiet and hardly talked...........

If only he'd have kept his hair longer, we would be calling him Shaggy.

I like red bull and raging bull, but Chapu is really freaking cool. It honors his heritage and probably makes him feel at home.

i thin that it would get him fired up so he getter a trple- double every game like he can do. also i like that it is from his heritage so he will like it and not get offended by it and want to leave chicago my olny worry is that when his contract is up will he want to stay in chiago or will he want to go to a different team. unsure.gif

He wont ever be a TRIPLE DOUBLE threat because of his poor passing. Untill that changes I could see him being a Consistent double double threat night in and night out.

I would go with Chapu too, but I don't know if anything would be cooler than the NO-CI-O-NI chants like they did last year. Spine tingling.
