[cwnobes]

Black mamba

 

[Shaun]

What is a mamba?

 

[muzikandme]

What is a mamba?

is that a serious question?

if so a black mamba is a very qucik and very deadly snake

 

[Shaun]

oh yeah that makes sense.

 

[starbury33]

Starbury...... I had to. Durantula is/was awesome too.

 

[Mico]

Pistol Pete for sure.
Flash
B-Easy (Beasley) crap player though
Dr Dunkenstien

 

[twizz]

AK 47 would have to be the best since he wears number 47 on his Jersey.

"Skip to my lou" is another fav

and AI

oh gotta have Jesus Shuttlesworth as well

 

[taffster74]

The Captain (willis reed), Clyde (walt frazier), Mr Knick/The Hoya Destroya (of course, Patrick Ewing), Hawk (both Connie and Hersey Hawkins), Kenny "Sky" Walker, Spud, Thunder Dan, Tim Bug, The Stilt (wilt chamberlain), Chief (Robert Parish), just to name a few of the top of my head...

one of the worst? Wally world for sure. Had another on the tip of the tongue but just can't get it out...

 

[madwiggles]

Dominique Wilkins for sure - The Human Highlight Film

 

[xavierty]

booger ......ed smith and the creeper/rich laurel

For me nicknames and I use the word losely such as CP3, DH12, AK47 aren't really nicknames, hell it's their initials and their jersey number. Nicknames should have some thought and meaning to them.

And also Whitey it's not KG, it's The Big Ticket

White Chocolate, Reign Man, The Glove, Round Mound of Rebound, Black Mamba, now their nicknames and they all relate to the player

I was just thinking this.
Surely players have quality's worthy of a decent nickname these days.

For example, instead of CP3, we could have "The Alley-Oop Master"

 

[brentus777]

End the thread now...

Best is "Big Country" by a country mile...


Seriously Penny is probably the most popular...

 

[Matty4292]

Boogie Cuz is a horrible nickname...

YOU'RE a horrible nickname

I agree completely! Except with Kirilenko, he chose to wear 47 specifically so he could be called AK47!

 

[IfIcouldbelikeChauncey]

And there's Greg "Cadillac" Anderson! If my memory serves me correct, he got the nickname from when he used to ride a pushbike around while at the University of Houston. Had a lengthy, if unspectacular career in the NBA and then went on to spend several years in the big house for dealing drugs.

 

[muzikandme]

yeah i said ak47 because i think his is rather smart, his initials and he wears 47 not to mention he is from russia where the ak47 is made
