Best Nickname

Recommended Posts

When the B's had Joe Juneau, Adam Oates and Vlad Ruzicka as a line, they called them the Bonanza Line and since they had Joe & Adam already, they called Vlad "Hoss".

Yeah, it's Round, and it also rocks, not the best though. Magic is the best. It's practically replaced his name. I bet there are people who think that is is real first name out there. Or at least if not that, people that don't know what his first name actually is...

Earvin "Magic" Johnson

 

Magic might as well be the man's name.

 

Also, because I am a Redskins fan, John Riggins was nicknamed "Diesel" before Kevin Nash was.

I always liked Michael Jordan being called "His Royal Airness", Larry Legend(Bird), Tom "Flash" Gordon(I swear I saw game where he was listed as Flash Gordon), and some MMA fighters have neat nicknames, like Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic(which he got because he was/is part of a Croation anti terrorist group), "The Gracie Hunter" Kazushi Sakuraba, Murilo "Ninja" Rua(sometimes he's introduced as Murilo Ninja), "The Iceman" Chuck Liddel, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and my personal favorite, "The Axe Murderer" Wanderlei Silva

He Hate Me wins, hands down.

 

I like Reggie White's nickname of "The Minister of Defense". Works on so many levels.

In terms of team nicknames, the Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes is so lame it's awesome.

 

In terms of individuals, George "the Iceman" Gervin takes it for me.

Couple of other nicknames that ruled.

 

Karl "The Albino Rhino" Mecklenberg (LB Broncos)

Dick "Night Train" Lane

 

and I still have a fondness for Stan "The Man" Musial.
