1990s NBA Nickname All-Stars

I always wanted a nickname and never had one.  While there was a period of high school when one of my teachers referred to me as "Thunder" (because, like a clap of thunder, I was loud but caused little damage), but the name never really caught on.  I imagine a nickname needs to be adopted early if it is going to be effective.

So, in honor of today's NBA All-Star game, I present my favorite basketball player nicknames, in reverse alphabetical order.

   Zo   

   X-Man   

   The Worm  

   The Waiter     

   Vinsanity   

   Thunder   

   Spud   

   Run T.M.C.       

   The Round Mound of Rebound      

   Reign Man   

   Penny  

   Nasty  

   Muggsy   

   The Mailman       

   Magic   

   The Jet   

   The Hoya Destroya     

   The Hick from French Lick   

   Grandmama   

   The Glove    

   The Dream   

   Diesel   

   The Chief   

   The Big Ticket   

   Big Dog   

   Big Country   

   The Answer   

   Air   

   The Admiral    

Looking at the above list of nicknames, my favorite three are "The Glove," "Thunder Dan," and "The Round Mound of Rebound".  IMHO, anytime you can work a prepositional phrase into a nickname, you've reached the next level.

Did I miss any of your favorites?  What NBA player has your favorite nickname?
