Best Nicknames - Any League

Worst in any league would have to be when they do the inital and half the last name like T-Mac and D-Mac and J-Will, I hate that.

Jason "Twin Air" Smith

I have to agree with you Kent.

I can just imagine that Kirilenko grew up dreaming of having the number 47 for the purposes of his current nickname -- and good on him for making it!

Not sure about Jacob Holmes' dreams of "J-Diddy"; I hope that's a joke of his! ;)

Tony "VW" Ronaldson is funny.

I'm not going to shut up about Erik "Parrot" Burdon until that name sticks. Or Bronson "Bubble Bobble" Kies.

Cameron "Trigger" Tragardh... Hmmm.

Barkley - The Round Mound of Rebound

Shawn "The Matrix" Marion

"Magic" Johnson

Michael "Air" Jordan

Gary "The Glove" Payton

"The Human Highlight Film" - Dominique Wilkins

Twin Air is certainly the worst. 'Neon' Leon Trimmingham aint half bad... he could sure 'light up' ;)

As for diddy. That's for rizzle my shizzle. OFF DA HIZZLE my man the DEE, EYE, DOUBLE DIZZLE!!! WHY?

;)

From the And1 mixtapes:

The Good:
AO
Headache
Skip to my lou
Main Event
Hot Sauce

The Bad:
Shane, "The Dribbling Machine"

The best: The Matrix - Shawn Marion
The worst: The plastic Man - Stacey Augmon

Nah I like "the plastic man".

The best: Shane "The Tool" Heal, surely Jason Smith must now be called "The Logo"

I like "The Human Higlight Film" for Dominique Wilkins but how about "The Nique"?

And I hate when NBA nicknames are transferred over to the NBL, Who was the Mailman in Australia? Wasn't it Scott Fisher, you have got to be joking?

What about Leapin Leroy Loggins, thats a good one.

"Sir Charles"
"The Mailman"
"The Dream"
"Run TMC"
"The Glyde"
"Zeek"
"The Chief"
"Dr J"

Big Pete

"The Mailman" was actually Paul Maley, not Scott Fisher!

And it was to do with his surname, not any comparisons to the original Mailman Karl Malone.

I forgot about "Clyde the glyde". Brilliant. And the "Human Highlight Film" was also a good nickname.

Who is Zeek and the Chief????

Thats right, paul mayley, my apologies to any scott fisher fans, still no reason to use mailman, they could have called him the mayfly or something?????


Zeek was Isaih Thomas

And everyone knows who the Chief was..... Robert Parish!

Ohhh yeah - how could I forget the chief... still - I have never heard of Zeek before.

It Be Raining Down Dunks In Seattle-

REIGHNMAN KEMP!!

(Before He Discovered Burger King)

Larry "Gran Ma Ma" Johnson

"Mase"

Ron "The Poor Mans Jordan" Harper (LOL)

Tim "The Hardway" Hardaway aka UTEP two step, now that was some skillz.

Which makes me think a Post regarding people signature moves would be appropriate........

I called Ben Todd the Microwave when he was at North and this when I was doing the court announcing

I still think Paul "Big Sexy" Rees is one of the best NBL ones :)

"I called Ben Todd the Microwave when he was at North and this when I was doing the court announcing "



The original microwave I believe was former South East Melbourne Magic player and from the same hairdresser that brings you Shane Heal and Simon Kerle...Andrew "the microwave" Parkinson.

Andrew of course used had a liking to launch threes from the hot dog stand.

Vinnie Johnson of Detroit was also known as the microwave, as was Tad Dufelmier from Canberra.

There is enough microwaves to start a God Guys store

The original Iceman George Gervin

How about:

Jason "White Chocolate" Williams (the NBA one, obviously)

Robert "Tractor" Traylor

Vince "Vinsanity"; "Air Canada" Carter

Damon "Mighty Mouse" Stoudamire

Laphonso "The Fonz" Ellis

"Pistol" Pete Maravich

and of course our very own "J Bags"! (The origin of this name is a closely guarded secret)

Apparently people were calling Matt Sutton Sutts, which moved to sluts, which moved to sluts.com...log in anytime.

Scotty Phillips.....'The terminator'

Jason Dix......'Freak'

You can't go past Mark Davis...'Chairman of the boards'



The worst ever is the fact that the Eastern guys call Ben Tribilcock 'shaq'....wat a joke.

"Chairman of the Boards" is a good one, probably the best NBL wise

Phil Smyth - The General

Chris Blakemore - The Hulk

Tony Lockett - Plugger

Stick to basketball pal. This is not the AFL forum.

The thread title reads "Any League"

Greg "Diesal" Williams

The Man - I like your style. Making the most of the literal meaning of the thread title.

You know when they call Phil Smyth 'The General', it doesn't literally mean he was in the Armed Forces. Just so you know....

Wayne Carey - The Duck

I hear round the place that Terry Harvey from Centrals is called "RED NUT!" dont ask me why....they just do!

Casey "the butcher" Calvary
Cam "Trigger" Tragardh
Brad "Noodles" Newley

Mark "Hogie" Bradke

Shane 'the heal' Heal

Dusty 'pie cart' rychart

Willie Simmons - Big Willie. Had nuthin' to do with his height either!

I got this one off the following website...Stanislav "Cocksucker" Medvedenko
This is for real!

http://and14eva.narod.ru/ENG/NBA/Nicknames.html

Jesus Shuttlesworth- A.K.A Ray Allen

Jeff Hornacek's- Horny!
Bob Cousy's - Houdini of the Hardwood
Sam Perkins's - Sleppy or Big Smooth
Manute Bol's - Sudanese Swatter (I think we've got one of these playing at South!!!)
Oliver Miller- Pig (we can all see why!)
Bryant Reeves- Big Country
Jerome "Junk Yard Dog" Williams
Jamaal "Mel Mel The Abuser" Tinsley,
Tayshaun "Pterodactyl" Prince
Darko "The Human Victory Cigar" Milicic

Some street ball nicknames- Half-Man/Half-Amazing - Anthony Heyward, Bone Collector - Larry Williams, Hot Sauce - Philip Champion
and the list goes on and on and on....

Jason "still searching for a jump shot" Baylis

Kenny "Sky" Walker

Jordan refers to Sam Perkins in an interview as "Long Arm" Sam Perkins

How about Michigans "Fab Five"

The "Bad Boys" from Detroit

The Worm - Dennis Rodman

The Admiral - David Robinson

That's not a bad one Camel "still searching for my undies" Toe...

I can't believe that after so many posts not one person has mentioned;
Brad 'Snake' Gerlach.

Probably one of the most applicable nicknames ever to be placed. For those who aren't sure, we call him Snake due to his ability to slither into tiny gaps in the defence... He's just so SLIPPERY. Oh and not to mention he is cold blooded which explains how he can be so cool on the court.

As for the other Tigers... I always thought that 'Franchise' was a particularly good one for Joe Ingles.

For those who know, Grant "The Franchise" Hughes, or Franny as we used to call him. I don't know if Joe would feel so good having the same nickname as that Foodland scholarship flop!!!!

Stevie Franchise Francis

Tony Kukoc - The Waiter

Adam "Zoolander" Benson - Sturt
Jason "Bloodballs" Williams - Sturt
Todd (Beatle Juice)(Ben Marsh) Gower - Sturt

Brad "Snake" Gerlach - Tigers
Peter "Hobo" Hoban - Forestville
Brenton "B" Campbell - Forestville
Nick "Sexual Chocalate" Campbell - Eastern
Jordan "Lurch" Dodman - Sturt
Justin "Soul Glo" Wilkey - Centrals

Al "The Mean Machine" Green...
Stuart "The Ox" Campbell...

Camel Toe is on the money...

Todd "still searching for a left hand" Gower

Cameron Wilson from Woodville is correctly nicknamed.
Horse, TriPod. This is no joke I saw it snatch an apple out of Darren Ng's hand at a fruit stand.

Dont forget Reggie, Skills, Big Dog, Eazy, Budha, Grug, Lockleys, Roo, Stubby, K, Wocka, Rissa, Meaks, Glitter, the list goes on, next time you see the horse keep in mind it has its own knee.

Cameron stop posting in a different name! And who are you to comment Rite???

"Todd "still searching for a left hand" Gower"

Brilliant. That guy is a waste of bench space.

So does that make you Jason "still searching for a jump shot" Baylis Panther???

The Waiter was an awesome nickname for Kukoc. God the last few posts have been pure quality. There is another Horse floating around the ABL still. Damo Pounsett is known as Horse...

I think Luke Hoban might have the claim to "Hobo" but he is also known as "Sheriff".

What about "Air" Ben Hodges...?

and i always thoughts it was "Scotch" Ninnis? ;)

That would be me MW, thought you already knew that?

Camel "still looking for a hump" toe

Nah Panther, did not know!

Panther,isnt there a in-house joke/nickname in the south abl side for 1 of the players?could be the wrong team but im sure its south.

Pervis 'out of service' Ellison

Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain

Jumping Jimmy Jones (Jimmy Jumps for Cash - Seinfeld) for James Jones of Norwood men/reserves, and Silver Fox (stolen from a Russian Coach) for the reserve coach. Think they are the best because I gave them.

Dirk Nowitzki: "Irk Nowitzki", cause he's got no "D" (defence).

No nickname will ever beat the one and only G O A T
greatest of all time

Ear Manigoat

Can you _ear me Kriss ?

I m sure Mr and Mrs Manigaut had enough "ears" in the family.

Wayne Carey - The Duck

Quite appropriate to realign a few letters and instead of a D it would now be a F

Ben "Booze Bus Benny" Cousins

Kid Canada - Steve Nash
Mr. Big Shot - Chauncey Billups
The Human Victory Cigar - Darko Milicic
Obi Won Ginobli - Manu Ginobli
The Human Eraser - Marvin Webster

The current best nick name i think is Big Z. Sabas is good too, and Di sounds nicely, oh almost forgotten:SARAS! :)

"The Silent Assassin" Darnell Mee

WTF?????

All the And1 nicknames are stupid.
Any nickname that you get because it rhymes with your name or matches your last name is kinda stupid or at least not original.
Long drawn out sentences for nicknames are stupid.
Nicknames that dont make any sense or that are too thought out are stupid too.
and nicknames that other people already have are worthless.
Nicknames that come from other names. i.e. T-mac, J-will.. as far as Im concerned A-rod was the original or at least the first one I heard. but most are pointless.

Nicknames should be original (stupid and weird doesnt equal original)

Anyway,
Jamal 'The Abuser' Tinsley
Stephon 'The Handler' Marbury
Michael 'Air' Jordan
'Magic' Johnson
Lou 'The Iron Horse' Gherig

Stupid ones:
White chocolate
Hakeem 'The Dream'
And 99.99% of and1 or any streetballer.

'sroy' is ma best nickname

Daryl Dawkins - Chocolate Thunder - not only did he have the best nickname ever, but he had the best names for his dunks

George Baker the Highlight Maker
Jared Lorenzen: The Pillsbury Throwboy, Hefty Lefty, Round Mound of Touchdown, Quarter-got-back
Pervis "Never Nervous" Ellison

Ice Man - George Gervin

but wat is up with Kobe Bryant - KB8?

MASTAB8

ILUVJAILB8

Kobe's should be KB r8pe.

Seems more fitting...

Trivia:
Wilt Chamberlain HATED "the stilt", always preferred "Big Dipper".
"The Worm" nickname had nothing to do with 'ball, Rodman's mates named him that after seeing him play pinball machines, and he used to wiggle all around "like a worm" as he played ...
