    How about Silk or Velvet.

    I could see Ike in the red velvet smoking jacket. I think he should where the velvet on road trips and the slik at home.

    The best were "Earl the Pearl" Monroe; "Clyde" Frazier; Wilt "the Big Dipper"; "Dr. J";

    We need nicknames again. Not lame ones like "Franchise", etc. that are so narcissistic (full of themselves), but ones that are descriptive. "The Answer" is borderline narcissistic.

    "Chocolate Thunder". I really liked "the Glove."

    Baron's lates nick name is Boom Dizzle...

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">
    The nickname "Too Easy" comes from Davis' days at New York's famed Rucker Park. He's also been known on the playground as Juicy, Machiavelli, Boss and Bodyguard, though it's his latest tag -- BoomDizzle -- that brings the biggest smile to his face.

    Davis was having dinner with UCLA mates Jelani McCoy and Ray Young when they started calling him Boom. Young added the Dizzle, in honor of the old Reebok shoe. Now the two are part of the brotherhood Davis is counting on to build his grassroots empire.

    Wow, that's funny. I'd have to hear it a lot to get used to it. I'm too used to "B-Diddy runs the City".

    I like Boom Dizzle, but I have heard B-Diddy so many times. Even on Sports Center they say it. Where did that come from?

    Speaking of Sports Center they had the highlights from the Hornets game on there in the beginning. They said "Its not Sports Center until Jrich dunks" and then they said "And Richard Jefferson" [​IMG]

    Then when they showed Jefferson dunking later in the show they made another Jrich comment. Looks like Jrich is finally getting some national recognition now that we are winning!

    Kobe's latest nickname is the Black Mamba.

    The Mike & Ike sig was great.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting custodianrules2:</div><div class="quote_post">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.</div>
    Good call on King Kong. I liked it until you made me realize it could be taken the wrong way.

    Also, if the Professor is supposed to take you to school, shouldn't he be "the bus driver" or, less poetically, "the truancy enforcement dept."?

    I agree about the Mike & Ike sig, but that ike button is great too.

    btw, "White Chocolate" was my favorite recent nickname. And there needs to be another baskeball player from Planet Lovetron as well...

    I meant "The Professor" schools you rather than "takes you to school".

    For Ike how about "Ike-tacular"?

    The nickname I like is Shelden Williams .. "The Landlord" because he owns the painted area.

    In college Ike was referred to as "The Army of One."

    There are guys who actually play under nicknames, rather than their real full names, for example:

    Daron Blaylock: Mookie
    Vernell Coles: Bimbo
    Ronald Jones: Popeye
    Tyrone Bogues: Mugsy
    Gawen Deangelo Wells: Bonzi
    Collier Brown: PJ
    Anthony Webb: Spud
    Lloyd B. Free: World (well not technically a nickname, it was legally changed)
    Jerome Richardson: Pooh
    Jerome Edwards: Blue
    Anfernee Hardaway: Penny
    William Parker: Smush
    Nate Archibald: Tiny

    There are more, but this is off the top of my head:

    Ike kind of falls into that category, just as Emeka Okafor (Chukwuemeka Noubuisi Okafor).. I don't think his parents even call him Ikechukwa Somotochukwa Diogu when he gets in trouble. "Ikechukwa Somotochukwa Diogu, get down here this instant!" ?


    And then there are the "title" nicknames, here's some you left out CR:

    Bryant Reeves: Big Country
    Damon Stoudamire: Mighty Mouse
    Sam Perkins: Big Smooth (was suggested for Ike eh?)
    Stacy Augmon: Plastic Man
    Dan Marjerle: Thunder Dan
    Karl Malone: The Mailman
    Fred Hoiberg: The Mayor
    Pete Maravich: Pistol Pete
    David Robinson: The Admiral
    Robert Parish: The Chief
    Hakeem Olajuwon: The Dream
    Wilt Chamberlain: The Stilt

    There are a lot more older retired players I've forgotten.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In their limited time together, Diogu and Biedrins have a thunder-and-lightning quality on offense, which isn't to say that either is slow. Biedrins has the length to complement Diogu's strength. Both have a knack for getting to the ball and each grabbed five offensive rebounds in Monday's win. </div>
    This is from Janny Hu's article today:

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...SPGG4G0B8C1.DTL

    The more I think about it, the more I like those nicknames for the two. Sort of like when Arenas wanted to be Boy Wonder to Richardson's Batman. BTW, I love the Boy Wonder nickname for Arenas, I hope it catches on.

    Great list, Zhone!

    Don't forget former Warrior, Craig Claxton, also known as "Speedy".

    Andris "Lightning" Biedrins
    Ike "Thunder" Diogu

    What about Andris' nickname "Big Dre".
    Ike could be the "The Ike-on" (the Icon)
