What is Shaq's nickname?

Shaq has more nicknames than you can count. No one here calls him "big shark" or "fat O" though. A few are "Shaq Diesel," "The Big Aristotle," and "Shaq Daddy."

Shawn Kemp's nickname is "Reign Man."

Kobe has no nickname that I know of.

"Big Ticket" is a reference to Garnett being something special that you'd pay big to see. He also used to be called "Da Kid."

Tim Duncan's nickname is "The Big Fundamental."

Patrick Ewing didn't have a nickname that I know of.

 

"I'll take 'The Rapists' for $100 Alex."

God bless SNL's Celebrity Jeapordy.

I was gonna make a joke out of his Gold Club testimony, but it's too hard to just pick one line from that. Damn.

 

I guess you call Ewing the big gorilla because he is about as ugly as a gorilla, pretty good. I have no idea why you call Shaq the Fat 0. The guy has pretty much proved himself not to be a zero. Also, we don't call him shark, like the fish, but Shaq, short for Shaquille, his first name.

 

Dude, it's fat "O" (pronounced "oh") as in the letter that begins "O'Neal," not "0" (pronounced "zero"), the number that comes before one. Chill out.

 

Alright, well the o as in oh makes sense. My bad. I still think the gorilla thing for Ewing is good.

 

I think the most personable people get nick-names, you know the ones that people can endear themselves too.

Kobe doesnt relate to people.

 

Garnett is also often referred to as KG. And the Diesel is probably Shaq's most popular nick, aside from the obvious "Shaq". Best Nickname in Basketball is definitely Paul Pierce with, "The Truth".

 

paul pierce's - the truth

Steve Francis - the franchise

Garnett - KG, the big ticket, da kid

Kobe Bryant was dubbed Lord of the Rings at Rucker but i dunno if they call him that, doubt it.

Baron Davis - Two easy, or Big easy or something like that.

Tim Duncan is the big fundamental

Yao - the dynasty, great wall

 

for shaq- The Diesel, The Daddy, or Shaq Diesel and Shaq Daddy, Shaq Fu (rarely used), and The Big Aristotle. a few other The Big (insert name) ones that aren't used also.

you know, as much as i don't like shaq sometimes, he does have some great nicknames and better yet, he makes most of them up and gets them to stick. the big aristotle still cracks me up b/c it's just so from out of left field, definitely farther away than biggio can get to. and yet it stuck.

hell, shaq even gets to make up nicknames for other people like naming duncan the big fundamental.

you don't get personalities like shaq very often.

 

I view Shaq being the Fat O as basically calling Shaq a "Fatso". That's close.

My favorite Shaq nickname is Kazam for his starring role in that horrible attempt at a movie.

 

kobe's nickname is...

kobe "did you have any say-so in phil's termination or the trade of shaq. no." bryant

the nickname was too long so they call him kobe "dyhasiptottosn" bryant... or kobe "bullschit" bryant for short.

 

I thought Big Ticket was because of that huge, record breaking, cap killing contract he signed.

Kobe's nickname for the past year or so has been the Rapist.

 

I thought Kobe's nickname was "BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"?

 

Or "No means No!".

 

He even gave Paul Pierce his nickname. And I never liked Shaq either, because the year he came into the league I knew a guy that absolutely fawned all over him. I'm talking about a legitimate man-crush here. He rode Shaq's jock so much that I just started despising Shaq.

Of course now adays I do have respect for Shaq because he has improved his game (he's not JUST all power, he does have lowpost moves), became a dominant champion, and has one of the most interesting personalities in NBA history.

 

I remember when Alvin Franklin was playing for UH. His nick name was "the penetrator". Since he is not using that anymore, maye Kobe could use it.

 

I know that some Laker fans call him "Snaq".

LOL

 

Shaq *is* a nickname. His real name is Shaquille.
