    I could make a sig maybe. I need to find some inspiration first though.

    Ike doesn't need a nickname. Kobe doesn't have one. Brand doesn't have one. It's just Ike.

    I don't even think big men like Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett go by their nicknames. "The Big Fundamental" and "The Big Ticket". It's just TD and KG.

    Shaq has like ten jillion of them. "The Big Diesel, the MDE (Most Dominant Ever), The Bald Adonis". A lot of them are self proclaimed nicknames.

    Yao is Yao
    Kobe is Kobe
    Ike is Ike
    Baron is Baron (I dunno who came up with Bdiddy but it's kind of silly but catchy)
    Lebron is Lebron (not King James)

    I guess if the first name and the last name are too common, they go with the nickname otherwise just go by the first name. But a good nickname for Ike would have to be something that describes his hustle play, high understanding of the game and toughness.

    We probably need some more time to see his game before we brand him with a nickname. I've heard people refer to him as Mr. President or just Ike.

    Oh and I'd also like a Diogu sig, I'm already sporting the avy.

    Well before Ike can be a household name on a one name basis he needs to show more. I like Ike would be a nice line in a sig like run BJM has in his Avatar.

    I could do sigs, but check out the JBB graphic designers forum and see if there's any styles you both like. I might be hit or miss and I can't make graphics if I'm not feeling it.

    Also here's an obvious nickname for Diogu, "I Like Ike" just like BJM's Dwight Einsenhower presidential slogan.

    I mean if Sam Cassell is "Sam I Am" Diogu can be "I like Ike".

    Baron and Kobe have Rucker nicknames. Baron's is "Too Easy" and Kobe's is "Lord of the Rings" haha

    I want a Diogu sig as well, I see the Elton Brand in him.

    I call him The Beast, King Kong, or just Ike.

    We should definately start using his full name though:

    Ikechukwa Somotochukwa Diogu

    Dikembe Mutumbo ain't got nothin on that

    Kobe's Rucker park nickname sounds so nerdy. I think his dad had a better nickname with Jellybean.

    I think King Kong for Ike Diogu is a bad idea since it can be taken in a very very bad, bad way. The Beast was Ben Wallace's old nickname until he became just "Big Ben". Diogu is a monster inside the paint so how about Ike-zilla?


    Dikembe Mutombo is Mount Mutombo btw.

    The best basketball nickname I've heard was "The Professor" because he "takes you to school". I love that handle.

    I'm serious that's his nickname. He was a 7 foot 2 defensive player of the year a few times so they called him that.

    Let's just say Amare Stoudamire doesn't even have a nickname yet probably because his first name is catchier.

    They call Dwayne Wade "the Flash" because Shaq coined it for him, but that was also Darrell Armstrong's monicker. I like the original nicknames, even if they don't make sense.

    Like Paul Pierce is "The Truth".
    Allen Iverson is "The Answer".
    Steve Francis is "The Franchise"
    I've heard Yao Ming is "The Dynasty" but that's as absurd as Francis' nickname

    Or I like simple nicknames that combine the first intitial and the last name

    Jason Richardson is Jrich
    Kenyon Martin is Kmart
    Tracy McGrady is T-Mac
    Jason Kidd is Jkidd
    Derek Fisher is DFish
    Chris Webber is CWebb

    Or nicknames based on nationality or hometown

    Trajan Langdon was "the Alaskan Assassin"
    Toni Kukoc is "the Croatian Sensation"
    Desmond Mason is "The Cowboy".

    Vince Carter had a couple but he was known as "Air Canada" because of his days in Toronto and his highlight reels in the Air Canada centre. Now he's just known as "Vinsanity". They try to use the "Air France" on Pietrus or the Flying Frenchman as a play on of the "The Flying Dutchman" which was a ghost ship.

    If you want to know some obscure nicknames like how Brian Cardinal got his nickname "The Custodian" it's because Jerome "The Junkyard Dog" Williams told him needed a nickname to get an identity and market himself. "The Custodian" cleans the floor with his body diving for loose balls and taking charges and making hustle plays so that's why he's called that. Jerome Williams was sort of a similar styled player although not as good with the three ball. Both were energetic, very aggressive players that had intangibles and were fan favorites for teams.

    Earl Boykins was the Big E, Nick Van Exel used to be "Nick the Quick" but later became "Nick at Nite" like the cable program that's Nickelodeon because he was "lights out" (good night) in 4th quarters. Rafer Alston is "Skip to my Lou" because of his playground legend status where he skips while dribbling the ball. Brent "Bones" Barry is called that because he's a skinny dude (but highly athletic). Gary Payton is "The Glove" because of his lockdown defense and word got out his cousin said he was holding Kevin Johnson like a baseball in a glove.

    There's Cuttino Mobley who is "The Cat". (cat-like quickness)
    Shawn Marion is "The Matrix"
    Stephon Marbury is "Starbury"
    Wally Szczerbiak is "Wallyworld"
    Andrei Kirilenko is AK47 like the Russian assault rifle and his jersey number is 47 and intials A.K. (most creative nickname I've seen)
    Robert Horry is "Big Shot Bob" because of his clutchness

    That's all the nicknames I can think of right now.

    Those are some nice sigs! Great themes! The Mike n' Ike candy theme makes Dunleavy and Diogu look like Laurel and Hardy.
