James Harden's nickname is Honey Bun so that's one of my favorites.

My favorite isn't technically a nickname, but I've heard Ian Eagle exclaim "SHAMALAMADINGDONG" after a Landry Shamet 3.

Most of the ones I was thinking of have already been cited. Missing, unless I overlooked them, are:
-- The Glove
-- Dr. Dunkenstein
-- The Slim Reaper
-- Tommy Gun
-- The Rifleman
-- Junkyard Dog
-- Clyde the Glide

plus group nicknames such as:
-- Show Time
-- Bad Boys
-- Phi Slamma Jamma

Damn that would make one hell of animated show lol.
Victory Cigar and Maple Jordan would be those useless characters that didn’t even need to be there, both crap at comic relief too.

Claw vs Agent Zero is a full on anime name fight lol
. Those sick second tier fights that are memorable.

Team Supersonics

PG - The Glove, Mac-10 (Mr. Sonic),
SG - Jesus Shuttlesworth, Bones
SF - Sweet Lew
PF - the Reign Man - (the correct answer for best ever nickname)
C- Big Smooth

Which of course for team supersonics I would aslo add Durantula, Goatbrook and the Beard also but some people might object to that.
