Nicknames...

[Matt]

that's because Euro's can defend at all. Dirk is still a crappy man-to-man defender.

[shadowgrin]

Wilt Chamberlain- Wilt the Stilt and Big Dipper

No one uses 'Wilt the Stilt' anymore since Wilt himself admitted that he really hates that nickname.

I don't know if these count but Al Jefferson is "Big Al"

Al Harrington is also called 'Big Al'.

NBA.com put up his Top 10 plays and I think he had a pair of nice blocks.
Has no D is just exaggerated like people tend to when a superstar is not more than an average defender. But he is still and average defender in the NBA. You will notice that when you watch the European Championships for example, where Dirk´s defense is among the top.

stop making me laugh
Just because he had a couple of nice blocks in his highlight reel doesn't mean he's a good defender. Even I could make Nate Robinson look like mini-Ben Wallace with some highlight reels.

As for his defense in the European Championship, I hope Matt's post answers it.

Oh my god. Did I say he is a good Defender ??? Did I say it anywhere. Just read before posting this peace of ish. I just said he is an average defender. No D sounds like his name is Steve Kerr. But actually there is no difference between Dirk and the average defending Forward in this league. Got me ?

Ah yeah and the difference might be that Dirk is averaging 1.0 bpg while Nate has amazing 0.08 or something like that. 1.0 is pretty average. Just what I said.

[R.J.]

actually no, there is not really a difference between an average powar forward's defense and dirk's, lol

Some people call Dwight Howard "Manchild"

I thought Manchild was Amare Stoudamire nickname?

[---]

Might also be his, but I hear STAT more often when someone is referring to Amare. I actually hear Man CHild quite alot, here is an article from a while back that also states it:

Dwight Howard is not like other young men who are only 20. The NBA star, who has already played two seasons as a power forward/center for the Orlando Magic wants to change the image of the NBA. He also wants to live out his Christian faith, live a pure life, and help people who have needs.

Howard, nicknamed "The Man Child," skipped college to join the NBA right out of his high school - Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy. In his first season in 2004, he averaged 12 points per game and 10 rebounds. In his second season he averaged 15.8 points per game, to go along with 12.5 rebounds. In 2005, his second season, he was second in the league in rebounds per game and first in total rebounds at 1022. He was also the first player who played in all 82 games for his team after coming right out of high school.

so if you think that listing or copy/pasting outdated nicknames makes you better, I give you: Steve "Snapper" Jones, Wilt "The Stilt" (And "The Big Dipper") Chamberlain, and Bob Cousy who was "The Houdini of the Hardwood". I win.

Boris Diaw - 3D, i think that is a pretty sick one.

Andrew Bogut - Bogieman, all though he never gets called it i heard it a few times on tv over here in Australia.

Point well taken. I apologize for my assholeness.

I thought Manchild was Amare Stoudamire nickname?

I'd say in both cases "manchild" has been used as an adjective rather than a nickname, since it's a term that's been used to describe players like Shawn Kemp and Kevin Garnett in years gone by.

Lebron was/is defintely a manchild... coming out of highschool, most players are skinny and underdeveloped (like Darius Miles) but he was fucking ripped.
