I was thinking about all the different players over the years and their various nicknames and I thought it might be cool to compile them all in a thread. I went through all the names on the historical page and here's what I came up with. I'll admit, this is not my strong suit, but add whatever others you can think of. (Oh, and World B. Free was his real name. Go figure.)

Rafer Alson - Skip to My Lou
Ron Artest - Ron Ron
Charles Barkley - Sir Charles
Aaron Brooks - AB
Chase Budinger - Bud
Matt Bullard - Air Bull
Antoine Car - Junkyard Dog (eep)
Sam Cassell - Sam I Am
Pete Chilcutt - Chilly Pete
Clyde Drexler - The Glide
Mario Elie - Junkyard Dog
Eric Floyd - Sleepy
Steve Francis - Franchise
Thomas Hamilton - Two Sandwiches
Chuck Hayes - Chuck Wagon
Elvin Hayes - Big E
Robert Horry - Big Shot Bob
Charles Jones - Old Man River
Lewis Lloyd - Sweet Lou
Vernon Maxwell - Mad Max
Tony Massenberg - T Mass
Tracy McGrady - T-Mac
Anthony Miller - Pig
Yao Ming - the Great Wall
Cuttino Mobley - Cat
Calvin Murphy - Murph
Dikembe Mutumbo - Deke
Bostjan Nachbar - Boki
Martyn Norris - Moochie
Hakeem Olajuwon - Dream
Billy Paultz - the Whopper
Robert Reid - Bobbie Jo
Wayne Rollins - Tree
Kenny Smith - Jet
Larry Smith - Mr. Mean
Vassilis Spanoulis - V-Span
Otis Thorpe - OT
Rudy Tomjanovich - Rudy T
Jimmy Walker - Sky
Donald Watts - Slick
Walt Williams - the Wizard

You are mistaken. It's "Black Biggie." Like the late rapper, except Larry is black.

It's "Air Bud"

And "Big Shot Bob" is stupid, at least call him Rob

And you forgot the Ice Cream Man
