I knew them all except: 10. Amigo-- never heard it before, but it is now predictable 15. Bouncey Whales-- never heard it before.... 17. Alien Nation-- never heard it before. how? 19. Billy-- would have recognized V-Span which is the better nick 37. Ice Cream Man-- never heard this either. how? Good list. How about these: "The Big O" "Bobby Joe" "Big Z"
1. Allen Leavell 2. Charles Oakley 3. Don Watts 4. Clarence Weatherspoon 5. ? 6. Cedric Maxwell (already in the original, no?)
A few more that I can remember (sorry if they have been mentioned): "Flyin" "The Truth" "Ban-daid Man" "Email" "My Fella" "Never Nervous"
Awesome, I forgot about those. Hope you guys don't mind that I updated the now gigantic list. Will be fun for others to try. I like Billy because it has nothing to do with his name, and picturing Jeff Van Gundy saying it makes me Lol...
Spoiler Mo - Moses Malone (or Maurice Taylor... both had the nickname) Granny - Granville Waiters Stick - Ralph Sampson
Spoiler Flyin - Ryan Bowen The Truth - Carl Landry (wild guess) Band-aid Man - Derrick Chievous Email - Emanual Davis My Fella - Othella Harrington Never Nervous - Purvis Short
Wups... this is one I missed, so I'm going to wildly guess the only one I can think of that fits and makes me laugh : Spoiler Kennard Winchester
Everyone had a lot of fun with that nick at the time, courtesy of Van Gundier (who's still here, of course, operating under a "new" moniker). I called him The Outlaw Bouncey Whales in the original thread. That's a ClutchFans nickname classic!
Othella? Not who I'm thinking about. Go back further... Big Z? Tabak? Not who I'm thinking about... Bobby Joe? Correctamundo.
I'm on the East Coast so I don't get to see many games.... none now that ATDHE.net is gone... On a side note, After Burner might be Andre Barrett but Levell was lightning quick and deserves a nickname!
Am I the only one that doesn't consider VSpan or TMac nicknames? If anything they're some sort of shorthand mashup name... I don't think such unimaginative things count as nicknames. Things like Mo instead of Maurice are 'nicknames' in the way Bob is a nickname for Robert. But it's bland. No character. In 2020, someone will make this thread: Former NBA Player Nickname Quiz: TMac VSpan DRose TWill JWill DWill CPaul DWade KB24 AI AI2 KG MJ Man, that will be cool....
