Ish isn't a nickname it's just shorten his name Ishmael, like Will and William

Might have been simply because his teammates were Dwight Howard (Superman) and Tony Battie (Batman).

Could have been because of the face mask he wore during the playoffs.

Possibly due his great defense ...moving his feet well, getting his hands on a lot of balls and being athletic.

Maybe a combination of all the above. I don't really remember.

I like T-Will better than Mr. T idk...

I used to like the "Great Wall of Houston" for Yao but now I think the nick name "Armani" suits him better!

Pitbull for Lowry.
AB for Brooks?

I like pumpfake for Martin but I also like K-Money.
