Dissecting the truth about Terry Rozier's nickname
Terry Rozier has been balling out this year, and he deserves to have fans know what his nickname is, however there has been some confusion on what exactly it is.
The TD Garden has been known to be one of the loudest stadiums in the NBA, giving it the name; "The Jungle." It is tough for fans and even harder for players to hear over the cheering and ruckus that the stadium exudes.
Opposing teams and players have expressed the hostility they endure when playing the Boston Celtics. Fans let their voice be heard, and also don't let players forget about their mistakes made during the game, just ask Lonzo Ball and LeBron James.
With all the positivist that the noise brings to the garden, there is also some slight negative aspects like mispronouncing Rozier's nickname.
Dear awesome Celtics twitter family,— Austin Ainge (@coachainge) November 11, 2017
People on our team call Terry Rozier “T-Ro”. Some of you have mistakenly heard and often repeated “Tito”. My man @T_Rozzay3 is ballin out, so let’s get this right!
This misunderstanding is reasonable because "T-Ro" does sound like "Tito" when heard over the chaotic noise. However, the way Rozier has been playing this year, he deserves to be called the correct name.
Through the first 14 games, Rozier is averaging 10.3 points, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 5.4 boards while shooting 36% from the field, helping the Celtics win 12 straight games.
Now with this mess is cleaned up, Celtics fans can now continue to cheer on the team and call "T-Ro" by his real nickname.
