to me, the true "a-train" will always be aaron williams :D :laugh:
I think the BEST nickname out there has got to be Freddy Hoiberg's. I mean this name fits him completely,

His nickname is... The Mayor

I'm sorry but that is a sick nickname for him, period.
I like one no one else has posted

Big Dipper - Darryl Dawkins

Just a correction for Krayzie_02 not hatin on you just correcting

Not Human Highlight Film, 'Nique is the human highlight reel

ur probably rite.....but the only reason i thought it was human highlight film was because when VC was a rookie and was dunking like a maniac they called him the human highlight film part2.....i might be wrong
Some of these are so good I don't even notice they're nicknames

Magic Johnson? To me that's his first name, not a nickname. Shawn Kemp's "the reignman" was a great one, so is Drexler's.

Do they count if you give them to yourself? If not, Paul Pierce is disqualified because he, like Gooden did later, gave himself the nickname "the truth." I guess I can understand Pierce giving himself a nickname, but Gooden's just plain stoopid for using the same one. I don't think there will ever be a dumber player than Gooden.
One time i herd one of the comentators say that Shaq gave PP that nickname. Shaq also gave VC the nickname half man half amazing.:confused:

IMO I think the best ones for Vince are Air Canada, because he is reppin all of Canada in basketball, and VC because of his label and all that. I think he likes VC better
