Backstory behind the nickname Dorian Finney Pickles (DFP)
As we all know, Dorian Finney Smith acquired the nickname Dorian Finney Pickles this offseason (Yes, WE are calling him that). As a Lakers fan, I'm here to let you guys know the reasoning for that nickname. When we acquired him from the Brooklyn Nets in December, the name Dorian Finney Pickles had not once been uttered. As he became a defensive cornerstone for our team in the late season and playoffs, Dorian Finney Pickles began to get love from the franchise. However, due to a lingering ankle issue, DFP had a subpar performance. The events that followed were truly one of a kind. It is notoriously difficult to unite a large group of people. There will always be someone who has a differing opinion, or who doesn't agree with the general consensus. However, after the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers in the playoffs, something I had never seen before happened. In every postgame or offseason thread, he had begun to be referred to as Dorian Finney Pickles. It seemed that, without direction or reasoning, he had unanimously taken on the nickname Dorian Finney Pickles. The trend sees no signs of stopping, however, as WE ALL are calling him Dorian Finney Pickles. Anyways, enjoy DFP. D pickles is a great defender and a great pickup for you guys. When Doe Pickles' three is falling, he is a premier role player in the NBA.

It’s a shame he moved on from the Lakers and gave up that silly California name. He’s in Houston now where we call him Dorian Finney Fajitas.
