+Ghostflyer6-Ps3 Free Agent Did you watch to the end of the video jackass, he said that a street ball player was called the GOAT and that it meant he screwed things up for the team, I was correcting him
Best nicknames. AK-47, Andrei Kirlenko. The Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokoumpo. Clyde "The Glyde" Drexler,. Dr.J Julius Erving. Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant. Mr.Fundamentals, Tim Duncan. This is one I made up, The German Shepard, Dirk Nowiztki.
+The Badd35t 1) Air jordan 2) magic johnson 3) Hakeem the Dream 4) King James 5) AK-47 Honorable mention Tim Biakabatuka the Nigerian nightmare Carolina panthers
The worm was given before the titles as he could slither around and extend himself at will to get a rebound or a steal. The Microwave was off the bench, so having a 6th man with 20 pts and a title winning last shot is a very good thing. Awesome nicknames and take them off this list. TY
There's something strange that for my nomination, I pick some white dude from Kentucky.....Larry Steele had a something of a cult figure as a career-long Portland Trail Blazer. For all his years of toiling through some leans years in the Rose City, he was rewarded with a championship ring when the Blazers beat the 76ers. He was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, but he was a hard-nosed defender. How fitting that the first year that steals were kept as an NBA stat, a guy named Steele led the league in steals. His nickname "The Bandit."
Calling it 'Big Baby' #1. Also, it's ironic that you refer to Augmon's ability to 'stretch' because this actually means 'plasticity' and not 'elasticity'. Nobody suggests he could physically extend his limbs like rubber. 'Plastic man from outta nowhere!'
Tommy Heinsohn- Ack Ack. Admittedly "Tommy Gun" was a far better one because it's meaning immediately springs to any and everyone's mind, but Ack Ack is the nickname for anti-aircraft fire. He got those nicknames for the rate at which he shot the ball. Besides, sharing a nickname with one of the finest humans to ever serve, means you've got a nickname worth having.
At number 15. LOL The real !human victory cigar" was someone else - Chuck Nevitt(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Nevitt), who was champion with Lakers in 1985. On the other hand Stojko Vranković was a Yugoslav/croatian great defensive center. He had stellar national career, superb European and solid NBA carrer. For nba if he would played today he would be a starter for sure. But for me one of the most memorable moments in his carrer was WINNING SHOT-BLOCK against FC Barcelona guard for the Euroleague title in 1996 in Paris. Stojko was one of the best defensive and shot-blocking players in his era.
"Magic" has got to be the best nickname of all time... When your nickname takes over as your first name, you know you got a good one. Just like "Rampage" Jackson. No one really calls either man Ervin or Quinton... lol
The Worm is one of the greatest NBA nicknames of all time. "Microwave" is a regularly used term in basketball and kind of a compliment. Boobie Gibson was given that nickname as a child by his own mother. And Skip To My Lou was a name given to Rafer when playing in And 1 he would skip up the court while dribbling. And The Goat??? It means Greatest Of All Time so if he was given the nickname because Kareem thought he was the greatest? It makes total sense.
im sorry but Andrei Kirilenko had the greatest nickname of all time. AK-47
yassss lol
Trrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeee
PG13 is pretty good

The big D-Bag, OMG... cannot. stop.. laughing.
A friend of mine thought he was clever and called me "the White Black Mamba"
GOAT is an acronym for Greatest of All-Time. That's why he called the best player he ever played against the Goat.
David Lee was known as DA WHITE HOWARD. Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahah! That is so funny!
I like that shade thrown at the Big Dbag

Sasha's nickname was one he gave to himself. The nickname was more of a joke than something cool.
They called Dennis rodman the worm because he squirmed when he played pinball
Calling Ricky Pierce a career bench-warmer is false. He did come off the bench during his career, but he was one of the best sixth men of his time.
1. Black Mamba - Kobe Bryant
2. Air Jordan - Michael Jordan
3. King - LeBron James
People called marcin the polish hammer

Dr. Dunkenstein and the Round Mound of Rebound were pretty awesome nicknames
I’d take a hilarious and ridiculous nickname over egotistical monecres that basically say “I have no class whatsoever”
The narrator should be called "The Robot" because he sounds like a robot.
"Magic" has got to be the best nickname of all time... When your nickname takes over as your first name, you know you got a good one. Just like "Rampage" Jackson. No one really calls either man Ervin or Quinton... lol
real nba fans no the human victory cigar was darko milicic
and if the microwave wasn't heating up he was tossing up bricks
Dwight the fighting Dooch
The round mound of rebound -Charles Barkely
Ok I will make an argument for Skip-To-My-Lou because I thought that was a kickass nickname lol
Ben Wallace: BIG BEN
