    George "Iceman" Gervin...


    there is just something about "Iceman" that fits Gervin to a freakin' tee....

    MJ. That got to be worst ever.

    Even Jordan and Magic make fun of each other by calling each other MJ.

    Best nick name i like is Run TMC, yeah, its on 3 different people, but so what, its still a nick name.

    Best: Older nicknames come off cooler
    -Artis Gilmore the A-Train
    -Downtown Freddie Brown - even if he was a scrub thats classic
    then
    -Vinceanity
    -Yao has good ones, the Great Wall, Ming Dynasty

    Worst:
    - Kenny The Jet Smith
    - "J-Smoove" Josh Smith
    - Sasha The Machine Vujacic
    = all self given and lame. Sasha's the worst

    ABSOLUTE WORST
    - Boobie. NO MAN ever should accept a nickname like "Boobie" EVER.

    DJ Augustin gonna come into the league with the nickname "Vulva"?

    No there was a different dude, with a weight problem. It was pretty funny. I think his middle name was Sam, and you can find him on Wikipedia or stat databases.
