Great nicknames just happen, they can't be thought out (and you can't give them to yourself). I also think that the nicknames from the past ring clearer than some of the current ones, because the ones you remember are generally from good athletes. Allen "The Answer" Iverson will never reach the level of George "The Iceman" Gervin.
Some of my alltime favorites:
Sweetness - Walter Payton
Chocolate Thunder - Daryl Dawkins (76ers)
Dr. J - Julius Erving
Magic - Earvin Johnson
The Snake - Ken Stabler (he came before Jake)
Pudge - Ivan Rodriguez
Of the list could go on forever.
