Don’t Call Me B.J. No More
Apparently, it is not B.J. anymore, it is Byron.
“I wanted to be known as Byron in college because I was making the next step of my life, but everybody, friends and coaches, just knew me as B.J. so it didn’t catch on…I don’t know, maybe they just forgot, or maybe they had just gotten used to the name they’ve always called me. Now I can try again. Another new step, new transition, and I’d like to be known as Byron.”
It’s too bad some of his rookie money now has to be used to change the tatoos on his forearms.

Another interesting tidbit from Mullens first rookie summer league game. This is from the Daily Thnder.com
B.J. Mullens’ jumper looked incredibly good – for about a quarter. He swished a beautiful turnaround jumper then nailed a nice 18-footer, but then came up completely empty on a post jump hook and badly bricked a couple jumpshots after that. But hey, you can’t hit them all. One thing that’s becoming painfully obvious about Mullens besides the lack of a post-up game is his defense. Roy Hibbert absolutely had his way with him (24 points, eight rebounds). He’s slow on the rotations and he gets bullied in the post. He’s got to get stronger and he’s got to get tougher if he wants to bang with elite NBA bigs.
What we have been saying for a year now.
I guess this means no more half-assed blowjob jokes. Damn.
No, those jokes are funny. I think he will always been known as BJ around these parts, at least until he proves something.
I think the half-assed blowjob jokes are probably funnier now that we know being called “BJ” frustrates him.
eeeuuggghhhh i just feel bad for BJ, he took the money that he did because of his dire family situation, and i can’t fault him for that, but he is in way over his head. i hope things work out for him, but man that kid didn’t need just another year, he needed several years.
i dont feel bad for BJ at all, not even a little bit. he will get some great coaching here and theyll figure out he isnt suited for the NBA. then he will go play overseas, and along the way he will be making way more money than i do to play a freaking sport.
boo hoo.
There are 1.8 million guaranteed reasons why I don’t feel sorry for BJ.
mullens, mullens, mullens. soon he’ll be changing his name to “cero cero”….because that’s about how much of an impact he will have for his team. i had to take a jab at chad johnson, sorry if you’re a fan.
What a bum.
Recruiting players like BJ Mullens is causing me to question if Thad Matta knows what he’s doing.
Hmmm, I dunno, the Thad five and the NC appearance. Im not ready to go that far.
Byron Mullens, first member of the NBA Club Trillion, nice.
