Instant classic?
A good nickname is as fine a thing as any. Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Michael “Air” Jordan, Shoaib “Rawalpindi Express” Akhatar, Duncan “Disorderly” Ferguson, Keith “Raging Potato” Wood, Nicolas “The Incredible Sulk” Anelka, Chrissie “The Chrissinator” Wellington to list but a few classics.
Oh, our surfing has some wonderful ones too. Miki “Da Cat” Dora, Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez, Mark “Wounded Seagull” Richards, John “John” Florence.
I’ve always liked the subtlety of double John. Quiet, authoritative yet the Hawaiian world champ may have tired of the simplicity and is auditioning a new one.
John “White Chocolate” Florence.
How do you feel about it?
My heretofore favorite “White Chocolate” was the NBA basketball player Jason Williams.
Do you remember him?
Many fancy passes and deep threes.
Back to “White Chocolate” Florence, though. Yay? Nay?
Actually.,,

craziness!
No idea. I’m trying to recall some white dude from Phoenix but I’m drawing blanks.
John “the HAWAIIAN” John
A fine example of why mammals have taken over the planet ….. MILK
While reminding me of the Grand Teton National Park …….
The ” Oracle “… for the guy that knows all!..
Boldly splitting the infinitive Chas.
Chas Smith should have a show on TMZ. Unless the rumors are true (pun intended, Chad, keep up—only going 7mph for ya) and he’s actually a 14 year old with a blog.
Chas, don’t you listen to ATS? Jordy Smith is white chocolate, haha
you must have heard it subliminally and processed it in your subliminal subliminininin
I’m still amazed that’s all he got.
John ‘White Nuts’ Florence could be an alternative to white chocolate, seeing as that energy bar has both chocolate and macadamia ingredients.
And his nuts are most probably quite white…
There should be a stamp on this article: ‘No Grit Here’
If you’re a white basketballer and you ain’t Detlef Shrempf I don’t know you.
John Paxton?
Mitch Kupchak?
If 2John were as bold as he likes to think, he’d leave himself at the mercy of the BG Commentariat and allow us to pick a nickname for him.
Farmer John.
Too easy.
Sailor John
Too Breezy .
That’s a good one, also!
Picky cunts!..
John « Coin Coin « Florence
Or
Fiorino d’Oro ( The gold florin coin )
The fiorino d’oro of the Republic of Florence was the first European gold coin struck in sufficient quantities since the seventh century to play a significant commercial role.
Money …..it’s Pro Surfing after all ?
Jason Williams was SICK
COVID?
Did he recover?
so nasty back in the day
