Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had that huge list of nicknames for the players? I was just reading on ESPN.com and read one for Shawn Bradley...the Stormin' Mormon...what do you think?

I can't wait for an NBA player to actually be named Art. Then we can call him Dion.

Also, I am surprised that no player has a nickname like "Atomic Dog". With all the hip-hop references, it would be natural (yes...I know it's P-Funk).
