The Beard
I'm not a fan of "The Beard" as a nickname, because Baron Davis was the original Beard.

worst - black mamba (what does it even mean? he's fast like the snake?)Where did Scoreless originate from? The only time I remember it being used was by a drunk female at a 2004 NBA Finals party. I always thought she was just being ridiculous, because Corliss is Big Nasty and he scored a fair amount for his sixth man role. So I figure there has to be an explanation.

Hell if I know. I just remember the announcers calling him that when I was young. Thought it was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

The Best nickname might be the one Kevin Durant doesn't want (Slim Reaper) and the worse is the one he chose for himself (The Servant).

T-Mac might be the coolest one out of all those but its still a super unorignal "nickname". My point is, initials or first initial plus last name type of nicknames suck.

Also, worst of all time HAS to be "The Servant." It's so bad that that idiot had to retract it and be all like, "nah man, I was just playin'...people call me Kevin." :facepalm The most frustrating thing about it is that "The Slim Reaper" is a fvcking AWESOME nickname, but bitch boy here doesn't like it. It's like the Iceman saying "fvck that shit, call me 'Sir Shoots A lot'" or some shit.
