Yes I like Scola's nickname. Not because of the actual name itself but because it's related to his game and it's creative. Far better than CP3, CB4, KMart, etc.... so unimaginative. Who comes up with that crap? Sportswriters, fans, marketers, or whoever... they've really dropped the ball on that. Will there ever be a nickname as catchy as Magic Johnson? Whoever gave Kobe the nickname Black Mamba should be kicked in the balls.
i've always liked luifa as the nickname, but the ice cream is great too. I think bullard gave it to him, not bill. I also like his native american nickname, " He whose hair flows wildly through wind."
Haha! Kobe gave himself that nickname. And, yes, he should be kicked in the balls for it... Repeatedly
i vote yes. i like it. its totally relevant to his game. but i prefer the name 'EL DERECHA' <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-QzPpXzSRm8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-QzPpXzSRm8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
I like the new nickname, but I think Bill Worrell is taking it a little overboard. During today's game he called pretty much every shot that Luis took around the basket a scoop, when many of them were hook shots.
