Truth, I always thought that was the worst nickname ever.

AK47 is still the best. Everything about it just fits so perfectly.

My favorites are the 'bad' nicknames- Joe Barely Cares, Jon Contract...

I always thought Maggette's nickname, Bad Porn, was hilarious. :lol:

C-Webb, T-Mac CP3, and most of the other nicknames similar are terrible. CB4, AK47 are good because they reference something. C-Webb and T-Mac and CP3 are so unimaginative and boring. Chris Paul should change his number to 30 so he can be C3P0, which would be amazing.

Black Mamba is terrible because Kobe gave himself the nickname after watching Kill Bill. He gave himself the nickname. That's not a nickname, that's an ego trip.

I always had to stifle a chuckle when Jazz announcers yelled "Horny!!!" whenever Hornicek made a bucket.

Oh man, that is such a perfect name for him too-

They've started to call Corey Maggette 'Bad Porn' at various Warriors boards. Their justification? 'Sure, there's penetration and scoring, but are you really happy with what you're seeing?

It was the Human Highlight Reel, referring to Dominique "Nique" Wiilkins, so he kind of had two going at the same time.

Bad porn
Wince harder

Also, I think King James is awesome. Simple yet works on so many levels

AK47, Bad Porn (for bad reasons) and Hibachi/Agent 0 are my favorites.

The shortened nicknames like Melo, D-Rose, CP3, Ron Ron etc are the worst.

yeah, this is awesome. Also, Never Nervous Pervis, Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson and Jungle Jim Loscutoff. The Truth is the best nick Shaq ever came up with, which isn't saying much, but it's pretty sweet.

worst? I wouldn't recall...
