Also, I hope there's an epic story behind Chalmers's nickname.

[Donoghus]

Also, I hope there's an epic story behind Chalmers's nickname.

Or it's because his first name is Mario.

[rondohondo]

Lebron's should be
"Biggest, strangest roid head anyone has ever seen"

Serioulsy the guys head shows clear signs of ped"s, no wonder he wears that huge head band...

Also, I hope there's an epic story behind Chalmers's nickname.

Unacceptable.

I will settle for the idea that he's a massive Duran Duran fan, though.

"Doc" for Joel Anthony? Somewhere out there Glenn Rivers is rolling over in his grave.

[furball]

Kirilenko's is the best as it's just his name in Russian.  He should use that all the time. 

D-Wade isn't much of a nickname.

Brook Lopez having Brooklyn on the back of a Brooklyn Jersey isn't going to look like a nickname, just a generic Nets jersey.

These are so dumb. And the pitiful nicknames picked for the benchwarmers is especially hilarious.

[Lucky17]

Agreed. Kind of lame for nicknames.

Brook Lopez having Brooklyn on the back of a Brooklyn Jersey isn't going to look like a nickname, just a generic Nets jersey.

Hey, it's not the name on the back of the jersey that counts, it's the name on the front. Unless they are the same. Then it's so totally meta.

[BballTim]

  I could come up with better ones from some of the players but they'd probably end up as strings of asterisks in the post.

I'd love to see what he'd pick, though.

"Ron-Ron the NY don"
Just thought I'd take a shot at it. Lol

Based on what I know about Brook Lopez, I'd wager that was probably the idea.

[kozlodoev]

I know a good one -- Artest.

See, I think he'd pick something surprisingly bland like "Ron", but manage to misspell it somehow.  Maybe "Rnon".
