:oldlol: most of these allude to his shape or eating
Fun fact: Barkley and Bron are the only two players in NBA history to share a nickname.
Sir Cumference.
Lol at chris bosh’s. I dont think he’s in agreement with most of these
CB4, The Boshtrich, Boshasaurus, King of the Dragons
Delonte Jr aka LeBron
Some of the most derisive nicknames I've heard include:
The Human Victory Cigar - I think an MLB player had this nickname as well
Oggie, and various variants of Dog
A lot of those nicknames originate from Barkley's home state IIRC - Barkley is a bit of a conundrum because while he probably never missed a meal, he really hauled it during his workouts back in the day, it makes me wonder if there's something I don't know about Barkley's college days. There's a film of his various nicknames being unveiled at the 1984 NBA Draft.
edit: wow, that's a recent change - I don't know who updated it.
Horny
Half-man, half-season for Vince Carter, back in the days when he used to miss big chunks of the season because of injuries. It's funny, even though his injuries weren't.
