    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting AznxBaller:</div><div class="quote_post">How? What the heck does it mean? A matrix is a set of numbers in brackets, or if you go by the movie, the electronic world filled weird effects?</div>

    Marion fills up a stat sheet (ie. numbers). That's where it comes from.

    The funniest nickname is when they call Damon Jones Alfred on Inside the NBA. I also liked the nickname Barkley gave Carter a few years ago: Half Man, Half A-Season.

It was because he blocked the shot, passed the ball up and dunked it while getting fouled all in one play. That's why he's "the matrix"

    That is an insult to the real Big Game James.

    Why would Carlos Arroyo ever be referred to as "The Teacher"? He's 25 years old and has achieved little-to-nothing in comparison to those around him.

    Anyway, Kyle Korver has been referred to as "Instant Korver," and since we're all claiming that a player on our favorite team has the best nickname, I'll go with him. It seems pretty appropriate to me considering his insanely quick release.

    I love how everything can be releated to Air Canada.

    Air Canada Carter.
    Hair Canada.
    Heir Canada.

    How about some better nicknames for the Canadians?. Although, I hope Heir canada does arrive in Toronto some day.

    and STAT has a NiCE nickname.

    My favorite nicknames are the Truth for paul pierce and the Answer for allen iverson they both are great nicknames that match the player. But the worst nickname by far is yao mings 'The Dynasty' it doesnt fit him at all.

    Another Kyle Korver nickname is K Squared. It was dubbed by Sixers commentator Marc Zumoff. But for those who are not good at math (like me), K Squared equals 3, and 3`s are Korver`s specialty. [​IMG]

    That's been his nickname since, BSN. But you look like the most ignorant guy in the whole forum, you probably don't even know what BSN is. You don't earn my respect to tell you don't. lol...I don't even think you seen Arroyo play much, you're just having a bad day, and deciding to vent your frustation on the computer like a little *****. Man up, you have no way or right to say anything about a player you have very little knowledge about, and if even if you tracked his info, you'll still won't even know BSN is. I'm suprised to find a shitty poster in this forum, Everyone in here has a high knowledge for the NBA, the draft, and even some other leagues. You man, you're just a waste. All the negative replies you gave me (Being new to forum) to me, I see that as a cry of frustration.

    Look kid, I'm not your girlfriend or your mother, don't get frustated at me.

    I'm not saying Arroyo is great, but thats his little nickname for people who know him. I'm just contributing to the thread for people who didn't know that, you don't have to be a bitch about it.
