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.
