My last post in the Cleveland Cavaliers thread got me thinking about this.

Earvin "Magic" Johnson
George "Iceman" Gervin
Julius "Dr. J" Erving
Walt "Clyde" Frazier
Darrell "Dr. Dunkenstein" Griffith
Daryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins
Christian "The Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye
"Mean" Joe Greene
Billy "White Shoes" Johnson

That post made me speechless...

Shaq's "Diesel", and all his other ones are great.
Big Papi is funny in a "I don't really know why" kind of way.

Those are the only things that come to mind right now.
