I the general rule for nick names should be that they are equal to or shorter than the persons real name. Otherwise its kinda pointless

Big Al - Horford...works
Sniper - Salim....Works
Solo(which is a great nickname by the way) - Solomon....works
Chills(I am not putting a z behind anything) - Childress....works

I am not calling Joe anything longer than one or two syllables. He will continue to be called just joe for me.

I am not calling Bibby-bibz because A: The previously mentioned "z" thing and B: It makes him sound like a baby. He doesn't need a nickname.

Marvin can be Marv...just because.

Josh Smith is Josh Smith for me. no nicknames there either. Although He should just take the Landlord.

I thought ZaZa's nickname was "Tony Montana" cus he looks so much like Al Pacino

Big Al is already taken by several players. It is becoming very generic nickname aka not very cool. I prefer just to call him Horford if no one want to call him Godfather.

Horford is a sweet name in itself.

falconfrenzy on hawksquawk came up with Marvin's nickname: Twinkle Toes. I think it's perfect.
