Player Nicknames - best and worst
Ok, I just read a little bit on the board regarding Andrei Kirilenko's nickname: AK47 - and I agree that this is one of the better nicknames in the game because his initials are AK, he wears #47 and he is from Russia. If only he were a better shooter...
So I got to thinking, what other nicknames are out there that are either really good or really bad? Don't just LIST them off, ok? Tell us why.
Two nicknames of former Clippers that I picked up from Ralph Lawler's commentary are fairly amusing to me. Eric Piatkowski is The Polish Rifle. It's a rather good nickname considering he's a dead eye shooter and his name is obviously polish. Darius Miles is Sky Miles. This is so bad, I laugh right after I call him it. This of course takes a page from when he and Quentin Richardson were the best pair in the league for alley-oops. Likening it to a frequent flyer program just magnetizes the palm to the forehead.
