[Rake2204]

Big Country was great :coleman:

best - scoreless williamson

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.

The truth is wack too especially since he's really the false statement.

[ProfessorMurder]

Big Country was great :coleman:

:applause: Scoreless is so good. Kobe is so forced and shitty.

Bad Porn is also one of the best.

[T_L_P]

Iceman, Magic, The Glove, The Admiral are my favourites.

The King and The Servant are embarrassing nicknames.

[OnFire]

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).

[Smook A.]

The worst ones are the D-Wade, D-Rose, DH12, LBJ23/6, T-Mac, AI, D-Will, CP3 type of nicknames.

:biggums: How you gonna hate on T-Mac?

[Smook A.]

:biggums: How you gonna hate on T-Mac?
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.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Big Fundamental
The Berlin Tall
Wilt The Stilt
Red Mamba
The Claw
The Blur

[hawksdogsbraves]

Young Emoji

A modern nickname for a modern era :bowdown:

[Papaya Petee]

My favorite was always Pistol Pete, because that was also my nickname during HS basketball.

The Answer
Iceman
the mailman
t-mac

all good ones

[I<3NBA]

good

Iceman
Magic

bad

black mamba (implying he's a snake which as we all know means traitor)
the servant :facepalm

funny enough, both names were self-made :lol

[SpecialQue]

The worst ones are the D-Wade, D-Rose, DH12, LBJ23/6, T-Mac, AI, D-Will, CP3 type of nicknames.

AK47 is the only one that's ever worked, in my opinion.

[Doranku]

Best:
Flash
Dirkules
Diesel
Iceman
The Truth
Dr. J
Magic
Pistol Pete
X-Man
Jesus Shuttlesworth
Larry Legend


Worst:
The Servant (just awful)
The Chosen One
The Big Fundamental
The Human Highlight Film

[SpecialQue]

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.

[Height Freak]

The Best: "Plastic Man"
