Everyone has been pronouncing Melvin Ejim's last name wrong

[Clones21]

It is pronounced EDGE-um, not Eee-jum.:twitcy:

 

[RossHallHero]

I don't like him as much now. Seems a little unathletic.

I heard Tj pronounce it "edge-um" in his interview on M&M last night. I immediately wondered if we all had it wrong.

 

[Cydkar]

Everybody? I knew it was Edge-um for months. Can't you tell when I type it?

 

[MNCyGuy]

Not as mind blowing as mar-kwez

 

[DurangoCy]

I'd like to propose that we just call him "Johnny Monster Truck Dunk" from now on.

I'm a little rusty on my English. How do we get the sound of an "D" out of Ejim?

 

[DurangoCy]

I beleive the "d" is silent in edge.

So Hoiberg was also pronouncing it wrong all day yesterday?

That's not a good sign. I would think the head coach should know how to pronounce his player's names?

 

[Cyclones01]

I'm pretty sure I heard Hoiberg pronounce it Eee-jum as well

 

[Cydkar]

He's Canadian, who cares?

 

[jj-cyclones]

LOL this thread is hilarious! Eee-Jum or Edge-um oh well, Melvin needs a nickname!

 

[isucyfan]

Based on this new information, his nickname has to be Melvin "The Edge" Ejim.

Melvin "Edge 'Em" Ejim?

[CycloneGB]

26?? That doesn't seem too hard..

 

[Cyclones26]

26?? That doesn't seem too hard..

You would be surprised.

 

[MNCyGuy]

26?? That doesn't seem too hard..

It's pronounced twenty-seeks.

As long as the PA announcer gets it right I think we're covered.
