    AK47 should be #1 on this list, and is top 5 all-time.

    Unfortunately, Kenny Smith's nickname was mis-attributed to Jason Terry for some reason.

    Bolded some okay ones

    Unmarked ones are acceptable

    Marked out all the the annoying cringe-worthy ones, the low effort & BORROWED 2nd hand names (Nobody is Batman and Superman, NOPE), the unacceptable ones (NO male past age of 10 should be allowed to call themselves BOOBIE. Thats just not, a good thing to be doing)

    Was gonna say Chuck Wagon is too borrowed, and was usually attributed to Charles Barkley. But "Sir Charles" is Barkley's usual main nickname and he even has "Round Mound of Rebound", so it makes Chuck Wagon more fitting to Chuck Hayes.

    Some names are generic but the person still fits the name, like Birdman . Some derivitive from the players name just fit, like Flight White, Novokaine and Captain Jack. I give credit to Mel Mel the Abuser for obnoxiousness.

    Shawn Kemp was also called "reign man", reference to Seattle weather.

    Three of my all time favorites are Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson, Stacey "Plastic Man" Augmon, and "A-train" Artis Gilmore. Too many nicknames are just initials or abbreviations now, like TMac.
