How will he get marketed with the name he has. Would people buy his jersey? The man has perennial all-star written all over him. But i was wondering what youguys think.
If Rudy Gay becomes a superstar...

that's a really random question, but i think this is why they need to give him a good nickname, so they can market him off of that. how bout Rudy"nh" Gay?

the word "superstar" is getting out of hand.
Superstars are Shaq, Kobe and Yao.

Maybe they can market him to mature people.
He's never becoming a superstar either, he'll never be a first option.

Yao is popular and all but he is not a superstar. But yeah I doubt the kid becomes a SUPERSTAR. If he is to be marketed, I don't think using Gay isthat big of a deal.

i can only see him getting as 'big' as say, michael redd.
good player, maybe #1 option on his team, nba fans will know who he is, but by no means will he be a nationwide icon.

anyone who wouldn't buy a jersey just because his name is "Gay" is ridiculous

There is a BIG difference between a star and a superstar. Yao has not lead his team anywhere in the playoffs.

after he took the time to make up a dumb nickname for each team, i propose that S&T gets together a collection to buy zo dogg that jersey.
if we each throw in a nickel or a dime, i'm pretty sure we could get him one.

Superstar? I don't know about that. I mean, there is a difference between all star and superstar. Kobe is a superstar. LeBron is a superstar. Shawn Marion,he's an all star. I don't see Rudy gay ever getting to Kobe/LeBron status.
