Are there any nicknames that completely annoy the sh*t out of you? I have a few of them."Mr. Big Shot""Flash""Starbury"All of those are annoying as hell. Every time Chauncey Billups scores a basket in the fourth quarter of an 82-game season it gets more annoying. Oh, Mr. Big Shot with the lay-in ooh, I don't give a damn. Starbury is another one, it drives me insane. I don't even think he is close to being a star now.
I don't like the nickname: 'The Brazillian Blur'. It's fitting for Leandro Barbosa but it has similar meaning to 'the flash' for Dwayne Wade.
"J-Ho": Josh Howard- Easily the worst combination of first and last name. No effort involved."Flash": Dwyane Wade- I'm not a huge fan of Wade, and the nickname isn't the greatestI actually like the "Starbury" nickname. He was an absolute monster of a player earlier in his career so I think he can still use it.
I just hate all the first/last initial nicnames, they are pathetic, people in the media are so uncreative these days. Why can't we have nicknames like the old guys had...like for example... "Pistol Pete" "Earl The Pearl" "Wilt the Stilt" "Clyde the Glide" "The Secretary of Defense" etc...
His Gayness...haha. I hate it when people call Rudy that. Notice I dont even call him Gay....just Rudy.Ive never like The Diesel or J-Dub.
BCB1, I completely agree. Those nicknames are awesome. I know this is a "hate" nicknames thread but I love The Highlight Reel, and those ones from 80s and older
Spanish fans called Bobby Jackson Mr.Magoo or something..was that made up by them or has that been used before?

Ones I LoveAndrei Kirilenko: AK47Shawn Marion: The MatrixPaul Pierce: The TruthShaquille O'Neal: The DieselMichael Olowokandi: Kandi ManGlen Davis: Big BabyVince Carter: VinsanityChris Paul: CP3 (has more of a meaning than just his initials and #, sounds good)Tim Duncan: The Big FundamentalJosh Smith: J-SmoovPatrick O'Bryant: P.O. Box 26 (credit to me, I love it)Ones I HateKobe Bryant: MambaStephon Marbury: StarburySteve Francis: The FranchiseZach Randolph: Z-BoJosh Howard: J-HoBrian Scalabrine: Veal (just call him Scal)Baron Davis: B-DiddyGilbert Arenas: Agent Zero
DislikeLebron -- King James Kobe Bryant -- The MambaChris Bosh -- CB4 (goes for anyone who uses initials and jersey number as their nickname)Shaq -- just about all of his self-proclaimed monikers Gilbert Arenas -- hibachiHateaniel Gibson -- Boobie, I'm sorry but listening to I believe Marv Albert refer to anyone as "Boobie" just isn't right :no3: Steve Francis -- Stevie Franchise, just pitiful :no1: All-Time:Lester the molester Conner -- there are just too many things wrong with someone being nicknamed the molester
J-Ho...He's not a man whore or anything...Also, all the nicknames that combine the players initials, or the ones where their numbers are involved. They shouldn't even be classified as nicknames.There are hardly any good nicknames now adays though.
