  • Whatcha got as far as best nicknames in sports? I've always thought Jack Tatum's, "assassin" was cool. Thomas " the hit man " Hearns was another favorite. But if I bought a bull it would be " bad medicine".

  • Excluding UFC fighters and Boxers because I could go on for days with Fighter nicknames like "Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva"

    In the traditional sports, here's a few off the top of my head:

    -- My personal favorite is Vince Carter "Half man, Half Amazing"
    -- Pablo Sandoval "Kung Fu Panda" (Just fits him perfectly)
    --Ryan Braun "The Hebrew Hammer"
    --Calvin Johnson of course.. "Megatron"
    --Irving "Magic" Johnson
    --Babe Ruth "The Great Bambino" or just "The Bambino"
    --William Perry "The Refrigerator"... Dude looked like a damn refrigerator
    --Wayne Gretzky "The Great One"
    --Doug Martin "The Muscle Hamster"
    --Kobe "The Black Mamba"
    --Jose Bautista "Joey Bats"
    --Mike Leach "The Mad Scientist"

    Damn, I knew way more than I though but I actually like all of the ones I named. I know I'm not thinking of a ton others I like but those are the ones that popped up in my head.

    Hmmm, does this mean the Fish who saved Pittsburgh was really the Doctor, Julius Earvin!

    Probably just a typo, but I couldn't resist.

  • I'm going to do my favorite Hockey nicknames for teams.

    "The Russian Five" Detroit Red Wings forward and defensemen line that consisted of: Sergei Fedorov, Igor Larionov, Slava Koslov, Vladimir Konstantinov, and Slava Fetisov.
    "The Legion of Doom" Philadelphia Flyers first forward line: John LeClair, Eric Lindross and Mikael Renberg
    "The Triple Crown Line" Los Angeles Kings first forward line: Dave Taylor, Marcel Dionne, and Charlie Simmer

    Don't hear any lines go by awesome nicknames anymore in hockey. I don't even like the Red Wings, but I grew up wanting to watch the Russian Five.

  • Add Kurt "rambo" Rambis to the list. Probably the most awkward player ever to have championship ring. Reminds me of the brothers from the movie slap shot.

  • "Prime Time"
    We have a DT on our team nicknamed "The Plug"
    Paul "Floppin" Pierce
    AK47 for Kirilinko is pretty awesome.
    MJD "Pocket Hercules" is awesome.

    Your right, how could I forget prime time. Teddy "ballgame" Williams. George the "iceman" Gervin. My son gets credit for this thread. We argued all night about his sport heroes vs mine. Which promted me to get feedback from the board.
