Nate The Great.. Although it hasn't been really used in the NBA. Writers liked to call him that when he was at UW.
Vinsanity I always liked. It describes VC so well when he gets hot. Mailman for Malone fit great as well. A few others I like are Answer, Glove, and Flash.
I love Dwight Howard's new nickname, "The Daily Double". This is perfect since he is always recording double doubles.
This isn't a nickname, but it's still a cool name.... Zaza Pachulia. i mean c'mon, it's his REAL name! that's hilarious... what kiind of person names their kid zaza? i mean really?
Dalembert's mom and sister are Canadian, Dalembert is from Haiti and he is Haitian, he has a Haitian accent. The best nickname has to be The Answer! Flash also fits Dwyane well. I also like Melo.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting superman32:</div><div class="quote_post">hes canadian, and I think the daily double is awesome</div> Haitian. Born in Haiti. Why do you think he's always helping out the country? My favorite: Smush Paker
Suprised no one mentioned The Truth or The Big Ticket. I like Starbury. The Goods was a good one to but Odom isnt really that good.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting bball_spida:</div><div class="quote_post">I know Mj had Air Jordan, Vince had Air Canada now Air Jersey, but whats your favourite nickname in the league. I like the Diesel for shaq or his new one, MDE, most dominant ever</div> Air Jersey is the worst name for Vince. It sounds terrible. Air Canada was 10000x better because he played in Canada and the arena was called Air Canada (after an airline). When I hear Air Jersey it just makes me laugh. I like Vinsanity, Air Canada, and AK47.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dtpxcore:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe needs one and i like "The Franchise"</div> Shaq used to refer Kobe as "The Wonder Boy", but I'm not sure if Kobe appreciated that. Stu Jackson, Lakers commentator, called him "The Dagger" or "The Assasin". However Kobe never really had an official nickname because his original name "Kobe" was already well-known and rare in the NBA. There's no duplicate of his name in the league, that's why media haven't give him a name yet. Personally, I like to call him Kobe "The Killer" Bryant. All others that i like: Kevin Garnett aka The Big Ticket Karl Malone aka The Mailman Gary Payton aka The Glove Allen Iverson aka The Answer Dwage Wade aka Flash Shaq aka The desiel Andrea aka AK47 Vince Carter aka Vinsanity Tim Duncan aka The fundamental Labron Jame aka King Chris Webber aka C-web Tracy Mcgrady aka T-mac Yao Ming aka The dynasty Steve Francis aka The francise Carmelo Anthony aka Melo Shawn Marion aka The matrix

There's no nickname that fits more than AK-47. Its crazy because he's russian, his initials are AK, and his number is 47. But I got 1 question. Did he pick that number intentionally?
I like the Air Canada and Dwayne Wade's "Flash". It fits to him very good, beacuse that's what happens when this guy is going to the rim.
