Funniest NBA nicknames? (complimentary or insulting)

[poeticism707]

My vote:

"Wince Harder"

Must be the funniest NBA nickname I've ever heard.

"Wince Harder"

'Wallets' for Ben Wallace. It was created by someone on this board, Bizarro, I think and even if he didn't, it's still the best I've heard.

[wizzla11]

TBack, Half-man half-a-season, Ben Wallets,

TBack, Half-man half-a-season, Ben Wallets,

I've also heard Half-man, half-degrading:roll: !

Who comes up with these names?

[TruthKGRay3412]

Chris Bosh-王 (Long Wang).Its his Chinese nickname it means king of the dragons because hes seen as the leader of the Raptors. :oldlol: Long Wang

Now that is funny, and the more so because it's basis is in fact.

Side note: is Bosh in particular, or the Raptors, or the NBA, very popular in China? Before or after Yao Ming was drafted?

Or do you just speak Chinese and translated it yourself?

She-Mac
Free Agent "0"

And even tho he's playing well this year in Denver i always like calling AI "The Cancer"

I heard a poster on this boad (don't remember who) refer to Kobe and Shaq as: Snaq and Ms.Bryant:oldlol:

I think must've choked on whatever I was eating or drinking because I laughed so hard.

She-mac! I've never heard that one before!

[clipps]

Some of us Clipper fans used to call Wang Zhi-Zhi, Donger. One of his nicknames was really Dodger for some reason, so we arranged it to make it sound more Chinese.

Kaman = (Last season when he sucked) 50 Million Dollar Tard

[SHEED_ gangsta]

the BIG NASTY was the sickest nickname I also like captian jack

[poeticism707]

I agree, Captain Jack is pretty cool.

[PK3434]

Ben Wallet makes me laugh the most because I can kind of picture him embracing the nickname....like him reading this message board and smiling, as if to say, "hell yeah, I'm rich...Ben Wallets baby!"

[ZOMG]

Exactly. :D The best has to be "Wallets". The only case in NBA history where a nickname can be loved by both the haters and the player himself. Genius.

"Big Dog" is another great one. It's just a shame Glenn Robinson stole it from Antoine Carr. I'm also 100% sure it was always Shaq's #1 choice for a nickname.

[Mikaiel]

Chris Kaveman (too bad he cut his hair)

[Fatal_Flaw]

T-Mac: T-Pain :oldlol:

D-Wheels, Choke Nowinski, T-Back.

Iverson used to be known as "Bubbachuck" in his earlier years. Not really a compliment, but not a diss either. Just a weird nickname he had. Could probably be turned into "Bubbachucker".

I never really understood this "half-man, half-amazing" ****. Why would anyone want to be called half a man, and only half amazing!??!

[LJJ]

Some aren't even funny, but I just laugh when I think about their teammates calling them that.

Luke Ridnour - Frodo
Sean May - Manboobs
Maceo Baston - Wide Mouth
Jerome James - Big Snacks

[Lebron23]

Team Duncan ( I have a better team that is why people still rank me as an elite player this season)

Traveling Parker

Larry " Mason" Hughes

Big Exit

[JordanL]

How about team nicknames?

From about 99 to last season, even the papers would refer to my team as the "Jail Blazers" because of all of their arrests and technicals and poor sportsmanship. (Course when we traded Sheed, a lot of those techs went away, thank God.)

[the even bigger black guy]

"the human victory cigar"

[BayAreaSportz]

Worst Nick Name: Any nick name they give to Monta Ellis

Mississlippery, Mississippi Bullet, Montastic, Monta-Zoom-Ah, Kid Quick (wasn't that character in the video game Punch Out?) How about just M.E. First, cuz all he wants to do is score.

Any nickname that implies that they're a star player because it sounds stupid when they're pass their prime like "Starbury" or Stevie "Franchise".

Best Nick Names: The simpler the better:

Hakeem "The Dream"
Clyde "The Glide"
The Admiral

and my favorite...Stacey "Plastic Man" Augmon

And I actually like "Black Mamba" for Kobe Bryant

The Funniest:

Jay Wreck (Jay Williams)
Dennis "The Worm" Rodman
Troy "The Great White Hope" Murphy
Vernell "Bimbo" Coles
Oliver "Pig" Miller
Daniel "Boobie" Gibson (I'm down with that!)
Richard "The Masked Man" Hamilton
Shaq "The Big Cactus" O'Neal

Stevie "the Franchise" is indeed a very cool nickname.

Imagine my surprise at showing up on ISH most randomly after months (years?) away, and finding an old thread of mine on the second page.

It almost makes me forget how ridiculous ISH is.

That's his actual nickname.

[Myth]

Yep, it is a real nickname, though most use the more P.C. nickname: Joel "The Thrilla" Przybilla. I just love how whenever he does something they play the Michael Jackson "Thriller" soundbite.
