    That's just begging for pages worth of his "other" nicknames.

    Derrick "Band-Aid Man" Chievous

    Selected by the Houston Rockets in the 1st round (16th overall) of the 1988 NBA Draft. His best season came during his rookie campaign as a member of the Rockets, when he appeared in 81 games and averaged 9.3 ppg

    Ooops CometsWin beat me to this one a few post above.

    Are you talking about the nicknames that their family gave them, the ones players gave them, the ones they gave themselves, the ones only ClutchFans peeps gave them, or the ones that shortened their name?

    "Sir" Charles "Round Mound of Rebound" Barkely
    Charles "Chuck" Nevitt
    Charles "Chucky" Brown
    James "Jim" Arthur Jackson

    :eek: There have been a bunch of "CHUCKs"

    These are not nicknames. They are initials. Thank G-d we were more original back in the day otherwise Hakeem Olajuwon would have been called HO.
