NBL player nicknames?

I was thinking today at the game watchin the Birdman hand signal his way up an down the floor that there arent many good nicknames in the NBL.

The NBA has heaps of coo nicknames e.g. The Answer, The Truth, King James, Black Mamba, AK47, The Big Fundamental. Not to mention the countless names for Shaq.

The NBL needs more nicknames. And so who better to ask than all my fellow hoop nuts.

Surely we can think of some better nicknames than Birdman and Dickhead (shane neal)

Heres some ballers to get us started:

What's My Name?

Mark Tyndale
Kirk Penney
Chris Anstey
Russell Hinder ;)

A bit off topic, but just interesting that Maher is now called Lance Armstrong, for his time on the bike.

I like:

"Spenda" for Penney (as in go to the toilet)
"Monkey Man" for Tyndale (I like to see him hang like a monkey on the ring after a slam).
"They call me" for Bruce (refer '81 film called "They call me Bruce")

Ebi gets called Charlie a lot- one of these days I'll have to ask why- or maybe one of you guys in Vic could ask him, seeing that you're closer!

Mark Dickel was "Epple". Known for his turnovers.

"Noah" Anstey. Floats around on the Ark.

We had a bloke at work we dubbed "Clit", he liked to be the centre of attention, & didn't like to be rubbed the wrong way. You could probably pin that on a few 'ballers out there. : )

"Crystal" has a nicer ring to it than "Balls". Thoughts?
