Nickname time!



For those of you unfamiliar with Slam Magazine, it is probably the best periodical devoted to basketball on the planet. Around a year ago, they began asking their readers to give nicknames to players lacking them in a section called "Whats my name?" Around this site, I will be using said nicknames, so here they are to avoid future confusion.


Zaza Pachulia- Zadidas

Paul Millsap- The Paperboy

Josh Howard- J-5

Jermaine O'Neal- The Other

LaMarcus Aldridge- L.A. The Rugged Man

Deron Williams- The Ice Pick

Gerald Wallace- G-Force

Brandon Roy- The Blade

Elton Brand- TNT aka "Twenty N' Ten"

Louis Williams- The Surgeon

Mike Miller- Millermatic

Rashard Lewis- The Big Deal

Joe Johnson- The Quiet Storm

David West- The Da-best

Andris Biedrins- Quills

DeShawn Stevenson- Ink

Sean Williams- SWAT


Each month this list will grow, if Slam keeps doing their thing anyway. My personal favorites on this list are G-Force, Quills, The Paperboy, and TNT, before he went to Philadelphia.

  1. I think I'm the only one who goes to your blog. Nobody goes to my blog either. We need to get more people to go to our sites.
