    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.

    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 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

    Whatever happened to "Shaq Attack?" I don't think I've heard that since he was in Orlando.

    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.
