Which NBA player has the best nick name?

For me, I like the nick name they gave to Kobe when he went to play at Rucker Park just after winning his third championship...They called him Kobe Won Kenobi.

    "Magic" has to be the best nickname of all time. You know its a great nickname when people don't even know your real name. And all I had to do is put the word "magic" and everyone automatically knows who I'm referring to.

    No one has mentioned it yet, but there's one that rings off the top of my head.

    Air Jordan was good.

    Sir Charles had charm

    Big Ben's ok

    Penny was cute

    Bron Bron is too

    The Worm gives me shudders

    Reign Man was manufactured

    Ok, my favorite's probably Clyde "The Glyde" Drexler. Nice ring to it.

    the best nickname is Jason "white chocolate" Williams for miami. Or rookie Sergio Rodriguez who because his game mirrors williams was coined the nickname "spanish chocolate". the nicknames are so stupid but i cant help but laugh when i hear professional announcers saying "theres a beautiful pass from white chocolate".

    Since this doesnt mean your favorite player (since I hate this guy) I would go with AK47, Andrei Kerilenko... I hate him and the way he plays, but man that name is cool. His intitials (AK) then his number, 47. Creative... but bad player.
