Cedric "CORNBREAD" Maxwell,
"TINY" Nate Archibald.
Jerome "BIGSNACKS" James
And don't forget Vinnie"MICROWAVE" Johnson

How about The Human Highlight Real?

Junkyard Dawg is cool. my personal all time favorite is Silverfuel =)

"THE MICROWAVE" fit him well too. thanks for the post snowman, brings back memories. i'm not sure but i think that was "WORLD B FREE'S" real name. i could be wrong.

I like "hardcore", cuz he really brings it on.

The greatest name of all time is " AK-47 " Andre Kirilenko !!!!

Second favorite: "World B. Free". He legally changed his name to it!

Marvin "the human eraser" Webster

KENNY "Sky" Walker

Marvin "bad news" Barnes

Grunfeld and Bernard King at Tennesee: "The Earnie and Bernie Show"

Earl the Pearl. In college Earl was called "Back Jesus" at Winston Salem State.

The Best: Clyde

How about "Dr. J." - ran clinics on how to play in the modern era.

Last nite ESPN classic had old Lakers-76ers series. Dr J. in his prime was so smooth. Nobody like him since.

Not saying there have not been better players, IM not gonna mess with Mike, but Dr. J just flowed smooth, very fluid, very graceful.

How bout "the Worm", "Pistol Pete"

But the most unfamous nickname in basketball that was later changed?

Original name was "The Hick from French Lick" What Nickname was given as replacement

Any takers ?
