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? |

There was a long list (over 100 posts, I believe) but I haven't seen it since the first time the message board crashed. I didn't have any luck finding it, maybe someone else knows where it is?

I can't find it either. I didn't intentionally delete it, but it's possible I did so accidentally.
Anyone have a saved copy of it? I can restore it if you do.

KB8ers-
Could you please add Jahidi White (The Human House) to the list? Even though he's only 6'9" or 6'10" he is just ENORMOUS. I saw him play for Georgetown and he was SO much bigger than everyone else on the floor and that nickname just popped into my head the first time I saw him.
Thanks. Hope it's amusing :)

I know I've brought this up before but we really need to decide if "Bo" is going to refer to Mutombo or Bo Outlaw. I get confused half the time when threads say things like Bo has a good sked and I look and Orlando only plays two games that week. My vote is:
Bo: Bo Outlaw
Deke: Mutombo
What does everyone else think?

M.B. was the original name of the band (as in the "Mookie Blaylock Demos" from Chapters), and I believe the source of the title "Ten." (Record company made them change the name of the band before the first album came out.)

Jimmy Mac- Jim McIllvaine (there are a thousand less kind nicknames for McIllvaine if he happens to be on your teams roster. As he's a nice guy albeit an inept player and no longer with the sonics I'll let the jersey fans pick up the slack.

Pearl Jam's album was called "Ten" because that was Mookie Blaylock's number (don't know if it still is). The American version of "Ten" actually has 11 songs on it, and the European version has 14, including a live version of "Alive."

A few guys are being neglected, who should all be part of a master list, IMHO:
Oakley - The Godfather
Michael "Suck My" Dickerson
Rik "Imagine How Bad I'd Be If I Weren't Tall" Smits
Tracy "Look At Me -- No, Not At My Cousin, Me!!" McGrady (signed into the spotlight and out of the playoffs, you worthless turd)
Juwan "I'd Be Good If I Tried" Howard
Tracy "Worthless Turd" McGrady
Kevin "I Forgot How To Pass When I Was In My 40's" Willis
John "Bad Teenage Mustache" Starks
"Stone Cold" Matt Geiger
John "I Left My Uniform Shorts At Home So I'll Just Play In My Tighty-Whities" Stockton
Juwan "I Can't Believe They Pay Me Even When I Don't Try" Howard
Al "The Big Albowsky" Harrington
Tracy "When Sam Cassell Retires I'll Be The Ugliest Guy In The NBA" McGrady
Shawn Plump (he had his name legally changed from Kemp after he passed the 400 lbs plateau).
Joe "I'm Really Averaging 35 Points/Game But I Score Them All Without The Knowledge Of Any League Officials So They Don't Get Counted" Smith
Clifford "The Big Red Dog" Robinson
Sam "My Afro Would Be Absolutely Huge If I Took The Rows Out" Perkins
"The Russian Rocket" Bryant Reeves
Detlef "I Have The Highest Last Name Consonant-To-Vowel Ratio Of Anybody Ever" Schrempf
Bryant "Where's Russia? Is That Near Oklahoma?" Reeves
David "Mrs." Robinson
Jalen "Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, My Team Made It To The Finals Last Year, And Now We Suck"
Isaiah "Rider? I Hardly Know Her."
Zan "Air" Tabak
Hakeem "Olajuwan? I Hardly Know Her."
Wally "Highest Last Name Scrabble Value Of Any Player Ever, So Suck On That Schrempf" Szczerbiak
Glen "Chicken Fried" Rice
Kurt "I Haven't Smiled In Fourteen Years" Thomas
Stacey "My Name Is An Anagram For 'Ace Got My Anus' " Augmon
Michael "You'd Respect Me If I Could Grow Facial Hair" Doleac
Oliver "I Wobble But I Don't Fall Down" Miller
Sam "My Name Is An Anagram For 'Penis Marks' " Perkins
And not to be forgotten, the greatest player in NBA history has his nicknames, too:
"The Second Coming" Chris Dudley
Chris "Son Of God" Dudley
"Jesus H." Dudley
I hope you'll all consider some of these contributions.

Well, most nicknames were mentioned in this thread. I'll post some sonics' nicknames that people might not be familiar with.
Vinconsistency = Vin Baker
Shard/SharDk = Rashard Lewis
D-Mase = Desmond Mason
Bones = Brent Barry
S.Will = Shammond Williams
Pearl = Earl Watson
Radbitch = Radmanovich
I think everyone knows almost all the nicknames of the superstars/all-stars. It'd be interesting to know the ones of the less populars.

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).
