    Why don't we have nick names of NBA stars anymore? Like The Dream, Magic, Doctor J, The Admiral, The Mailman, The Glove, The Kid, The Matrix (lol), Big Ben, Superman, etc...

    What do you think the current stars be?

    LeBron - The King
    Kobe - Black Mamba
    Durant - Durantula
    Carmelo - Melo
    Dwight - Superman
    Chris Paul - CP3
    Paul Pierce - The Truth
    Harden - Beard
    Tim Duncan - Big Fundamental
    Dwyane Wade - D-Wade

    Some kinda suck and aren't original, but most of those are pretty good. A lot of them are identified with the nickname more than their actual name (CP3, Melo).

    the only thing worse than "chandler bang" is "the big fundamental"

    "the mailman doesn't deliver on sundays." probably the best sign ever brought to a game because i'm still 'loling' 18 years later.
