    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...

    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

    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.
