Hakeem The Dream really is the best. Clyde the Glyde is probably second best. We take them for granted.
"The Executioner" (Hopkins) "Bad Boyz" (Pistons) Dream (Perfectly described how I felt watching him during his prime years) The Answer (Great nickname) "Lights Our Lidge" (Another great nickname, although he needs to work his way back to earning it after his dismal showing in the playoffs) Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, "Sir Charles" Barkely, "Magic" Ervin Johnson. My fav individual name of all time? "Iron" Mike Tyson.
TMAC when you dont say the person's name anymore and only refer to him as his "nickname" then is gotta be kewl
I was starting to think of some of the worst nicknames and immediately thought of this one. I dunno ...just seems forced
"Marvelous" Marvin Hagler Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards (olympic ski jumper who knew not how to jump....or land for that matter) ----------------------- off topic, this reminds me of a cool movie nick-name: Goodfellas - Jimmy "Two Times" 'cause he said everything twice "I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers."
The Great Wall of China [Chinese Frontline in the olympics] The alaskan Assassin [Who doesn't like Rhymes . .even if he didn't make it] Rocket River
That's his real name for boxers I like Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao James "light out" toney Kostya Tszyu is 'the thunder from down under' for bball players I like piston pete.. "smush" parker. stevie franchise kobe the 'black mamba' and.. choke city
Paul Pierce's "The Truth" is probably my favorite. It's catchy and authoritative. And I love how they play the "You can't handle the truth" clip from A Few Good Men at some of those Celtic games.
