We all know the famous nicknames of the NBA stars be it "The Mailman", "The Round Mound of Rebound", "The Human Highlight Reel", "King James", "CB4" or "Mamba" but what about those guys sitting at the end of the bench, those lesser known guys? Do those guys have nicknames? Or do those local commentators create ridiculous handles for their team's players? I did some research and got an overwhelming response on the lesser known nicks of the league.Let`s start off with the Raptors:

Ha, yeah. I remember trolls last year making fun of the team because of the Alien PG's. Basically grasping for straws.

"Doc" Rivers

Non-Celtics:

Ryan "I performed badly and they sat me but I don't want to take ownership of my sucking so I am going to say the team is tanking" Gomes (aka You can't run from suck, Most overrated 2nd RD'er ever, etc)
Wally "Rah Rah" Szczerbiak (aka Wally Ballgame, Fake Hustler Extraordinare, Wally Zoolander, etc)
Kobe "Double O-Rapist" Bryant (aka The Locksmith, Slim Jim, etc because of his ability to force open a backdoor.)
Lebron "Queen Crab" James (aka Princess James, Stern's Do-Boy)
Dwight "Paper Tiger" Howard

My friends and I usually just say whatever comes to mind. Sometimes they stick and sometimes they don't.

I find it sad that every Walker becomes a Sky Walker, though. Additionally, Kobe called himself Mamba. Anyone who repeats a nickname that a person gives himself is a tool. He called himself a black snake. Lolz at all the little white boys running around cheering on Kobe's one-eyed, hooded, spitting mischief-maker.

This trend of horrible announcers coming up with stupid nicknames for every marginal player is not a good one IMO.

Wow. What an asshat.

(Tony "Clownshoes" Allen was pretty damn funny though.)
