    If the Rockets put Howard in charge of nicknames, then you get:

    The Nets players should feel embarrassed when they wear these. As if they're worthy of special attention. I'd be embarrassed. It's like a crappy middle school team filled with rich kids, mommy and daddy buy everyone special jerseys. Doesn't cover up the fact the team sucks.

    I think adidas might have something to do with it.

    Nike is getting so much money from College Football and the NFL. Adidas are trying to compete.

    I like both Adidas and Nike but Adidas and their designs are ugly. Their college jerseys with the stripes are horrendous. The sleeved tight jerseys was dumb too.

    As if we needed any more proof that NBA nicknames generally lack in originality, 12 of the 15 nicknames are related to the player’s initials or his last name.

    Lin=Linsanity

    Dwight=Superman

    Bev=Black pat

    Parsons=Bieber?

    Casspi=Casspi The Friendly Ghost?

    TJones=Homeless Kicker?

    I guess Wade really wants to distance himself from 'Flash'. Surprised he didn't go with 'Three'... (inb4 'he doesn't want to acknowledge his 3rd son). Also not sure why Joel Anthony isn't 'The Warden'...

    Everyone on the Heat got one? Some of Brooklyn's role players must be fuming.

    LOL @ "Plums" and "Brooklyn."

    Assuming there's like a 15 letter limit (I think that's what it is?)
    Jeremy Lin = Linsanity
    James Harden = The Beard
    Chandler Parsons = Timberlake? Zoolander (heh)
    Terrence Jones = TJ?
    Dwight Howard = Rocketman (Worrel!), D12?

    Patrick Beverley = Trinidad? A.G.E.? 'Beverley in Russian? Star-killer?
    Omer Asik = Turkish Hammer? Asik & Destroy? Butterfingers? Quitter?
    Omri Casspi = The Great Casspi? Prince Casspian?
    Francisco Garcia = ''El Flaco"
    Aaron Brooks = Pocket Rocket
    Greg Smith = Ox, Gummy Bear
    Donatas Motiejunas = Donuts, Wolf, DMo
    Ronnie Brewer = Carmex
    Isiah Caanan = Caananball

    Battier should be Batt-man or Batt(ier)man or something like that. No one calls him Shaneo.
