Best Nickname In The NBA?

Postby Dean on Thu Feb 10, 2005 5:55 pm

Who has the best nickname in the NBA?

My vote goes to Steve Francis with The Franchise.

I don't think you can go wrong with "Big Diesel" but there are so many to choose from it's hard to say what is really the best.

The Matrix is cool.

My all-time favourite is Dr. J. It doesn't sound very original these days because it's overused, and most nicknames these days are shit (First letter of first name) - (abbreviation of last name) i.e J-Rich. Back when it was created though it sounded cool (Dr. J that is).

Jae is totally right: Nicknames that are just abbreviations aren't that good. For example, "AI" isnt that good of a nickname, but "The Answer" is. "Starbury" isnt good, but "showbiz" is. "MJ" isnt that good, but "air jordan" is great.

But the best of all time is simple: Dikembe Retardo. Pricless :proud:

The Admiral, whatever Larry Johnson's nickname was, Shaq Attack was even pretty cool. I think Jordan had the best array of nicknames of any player, Air Jordan, Rare Air etc... although that's expected of the most marketable sports star in history. I mean even Air Canada sounded alot better than "VC". Sir. Charles was another cool name, these days though he'd be "C-Bark" :roll:

Dikembe Retardo... boy doesn't he live upto that one lol.

Larry Johnson was "gran-mama".

Ewings would be worse, "P-Ew". And also penny's "A.Hard". Or Isiah's,"I.Thom"

I also like C-Webb (although it isn't anything special, just sounds great), The Mailman, The Glove, The Goods, Ukraine Train, Jay Cee, B-Dizzle, Tru Warrior (Artest), and recently also The Big Fella' (they always say that to Shaq).

What I wouldn't give for someone called Brandon Hardaway to be abbreviated.
