    Ouch, after reading this thread I suggest that the majority of you pick up an NBA Encyclopedia, because this is an embarrassing eyesore to the site.

    Hahaha, both Mavs players have sick names. Dirty and Nasty. What's next? "No Shower" Nelson? hahaha. Also, Kobe is "Lord of The Rings". Hannibal, (The Streetball MC) Gave it to him when Kobe went to Rucker, because Kobe is the only Champ to ever go back to Rucker and play some streetball. He was playing in the rain too! And even though people say Kobe has no street cred, he had a few tricks up his sleeve, he knew how to play streetball pretty good, like all of the "Ballers" were cheering him on, and he didn't do what most other NBA players would do and that is risk their health while playing outside while it was raining. SO yea. Dirty and Nasty hahahaha. Hillarious.

    Toni Kukoc use to be called the Pink Panther but then is nickname was changed to "the Croation Sensation". And now nobody cares to give Kukoc a nickname.

    There aren't any good nicknames now, I only like The Matrix and The Big Sleepy since it fits Tmac perfectly like his eyes are always droopy.

    I never knew that either. I knew his name was Chuck Connors Person, but I've never heard of the show Rifleman, nor of the original Chuck Connors.
