Nick Collison’s Mom Spells Nazr Mohammed Like It’s Pronounced (Photo)

Found April 01, 2012 on Hardcourt Mayhem:
PLAYERS: Nick Collison,  Nazr Mohammed
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder
Memphis_grizzlies_vs_3809

It’s hard to tell if Nick Collison’s mother has an iPhone or not, but since I own one, I know a thing or two. If it shows green (like it does above) then it’s most likely not an iPhone. If it’s blue, you’re texting to an iPhone or any other Apple device.

Now that that’s out of the way, you can see that the Thunder forward’s mother spelled Nazr Mohammed like Nazi.

Yikes.

But I get her point. I mean, that is how you pronounce it (Naw-Zee).

Tweeted Nick:

Moms are the best.

I wonder what Nazr thinks of it though.

Thunder not fooling around against NBA's elite

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  April 01, 2012
OKLAHOMA CITY Scott Brooks is a walking, talking coaching clich. He doesn't wear a whistle around his neck and he doesn't carry a clipboard with him at all times, but the rest of it is pretty spot on. Pregame chats are choked with the one-game-at-a-time comments that seem more appropriate coming from Gene Hackman's tour de force performance of Norman Dale than an NBA...
