John needs a new nickname. It doesn't feel right saying "Gilly" all the time, too Aussie.
I've heard "Pitbull", that's not bad.
So what beats Homicide? Massacre???

Well if he keeos it up, he could be called 'game breaker' but bit of a rep to stand up too!

He said (on radio) that some call him Gilly and some call him JG - but you can call me whatever or whatever you like.
"Whatever" - maybe not.. dribble-driver.. prolific.
mmmm - needs some thought.

Gil is Christ? therefore we could call him the "Messiah"

I don't know?, how about Back to the Future or Marty McFly... coz in the movie Marty sings Johnnny B. Goode, and we want Johnny to be good, or simply Johnny Balls, coz his name is john and he can ball!, so we would have Adam "Balls" Ballinger and Johnny "Balls" Gilchrist

After all of the photos in the press recently, and Brett's comments post-game last Saturday, he should be called "Abs" or "Cheeseboard" ("cheese" for short).

Yep, I'm going to be yelling out "Back to the Future!!!" from now on. Just rolls off the tongue, and everyone sitting near me will know exactly what I mean so there won't be any need to explain the ambiguity.

In a nod to nicknames past, how about Triple Air (or even Quadruple Air)?
Or, in a postmodern twist: his nickname is literally Nickname. John 'The Nickname' Gilchrist.

John 'the Baptist' Gilchrist. He converts people to believe in the 6ers and dishes nicely to his teammates.

"The Difference"
I like "Pitbull"
Talking to him after the game he wears alot of "Bling"
and a suit, so "JG Smooth" works
Also i think that huddle before the game should be called the "A-Town Hustle"

Bling you say?
Then we shall call him "The Blingtacular Professor G-Funk".
Or maybe "The Fantabulous Blingmeister-G".

G-Smooth?... or G-Smoove.
...yes.
Does he like Outkast? Maybe Southernplayalisticadillacgilchrist.

you got it Xztatik! G-Smooth for the oldies but pronounced G-Smoove for the new school, we could play B.O.B (Bombs Over Baghdad from Outkast) when he stats blazin 3's!

How about 'Cold Blood Murder' because Homicide wont have to look to hard to find J ( Burners ) Gilchrist... I like Pitbull also.
