In Spain we used to have a commentator who used his own nicknames. Sounds like rubbish, but when you're young and it's 3am you really love them, and all my generation who was in Spain raised with them:

> Tracy 'Why are you so good?' McGrady
> Dennis 'Guess who's coming to diner' Rodman
> 'Today i love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow' was the couple Stockton-Malone
And and endless etcetera.

Sounds like total crap today and out of context, but back then you ended up enjoying every single one of them

Not sure if that counts as a real nickname but all the "name initial-last name" nicknames (D-Rose, D-Wade, K-Love etc) are below shit tier

There aren't many good nicknames in the NBA anymore. Players used to be creative with them and use it to market themselves, today they're just lazy.

I don't mind the nickname Chef Harden. I really hate the cooking motion though.
It looks pretty dumb when he does it as he's running back, like after a 3. Better on an and1 play when play is stopped, I guess.

Dr. J is highly underrated, so is The Mailman.

Black Mamba is so underwhelming.

The Slim Reaper is a GOAT nickname for Durant but his bitch ass is pretty much destroying everything that made him great.


Also Harden is The Beard not chef harden.
