    Both are pretty good to be honest. Delight is my favorite. Dervish can be used when he does a spin move and delight is like cross over dunk or fake or something lol

    It's better if the nickname still applies to the particular player, IMO. Yao was called the Great Wall because of the cultural aspect, but also because he was very tall and a great defender. It wouldn't make as much sense if he were a 6'2" guard.

    Tbh I was laughing whilst I was doing it, we Brits use language like that in casual banter all the time, it's just a guaranteed way to rile somebody up further when they try and call me a name. If someone wants to get hostile with me for no reason I'm going to have a little fun cussing them out. He got boring so he's on ignore now. I'm loving these suggestions so far for nicknames lmao

    If we are going to call him a wizard, might as well give a name, Dumbledore or Gandolf or something.
