    CP3 is pretty dumb. It's not even unique or anything..

    I agree with the people that that said Barkley had the best nicknames. I'm partial to the Round Mound of Rebound and Food World.

    Man, I'm still shocked that those of you who loathe initial nicknames don't have Boom Dizzle more. That'd be like calling Fatty FatBastard Fizzle FoomBizzle.
    At least CP3 RHYMES. And he's easy to make fun of.

    UUUUUUUGH, I miss my Photoshop. My computer went kaput shortly after wanting to Photoshop a monocle on Rick Adelman. And this online editor is worse than MS Paint. When I get my Photoshop back, I've got some work to do.

    CP3 is pretty bad, at least CB4 references that Chris Rock movie so it works. The Matrix is stupid as hell. STAT is dumb too. In fact, all the Suns nicknames are horrible: LB, 3D, and all of Shaq's names.
    AK-47 is great. The name that is...

    This is little OT but I laughed as hell first time I heard the nickname, CP3. The translation of the word r****d to swedish is CP.

    Best: Dream, Glide, Air, Greg "Cadillac" Anderson (the story behind his nickname is pretty funny...I guess when he was at UH he used to get around on a crappy bicycle so his teammates made fun of by calling him Cadillac) White Chocolate, Chocolate Thunder

    Worst: Wilt the Stilt (this is the epitome of dorky 50s-60s nicknames), Matrix (I always thought this was dumb and didn't make any sense), D-Wade
