I cannot believe this thread has gone 6 pages without any mentioning - Sam I Am

Maybe I'm too old and millennials didn't get as much Dr. Seuss in their lives as they should have.

Yeah, I never found it quite as funny when I learned his name because there's at least a nexus between Lafayette and Fat. Sleepy is just so random.

Smush Parker's real name is William so how's that?

That's a funny nickname

I am shocked that "The Human Highlight Film" didn't make page #1.

KD because it only needs two finger taps (or 3 including shift) and its quick and easy to say.

Every one of these is miles better than 'The Big Fundamental', 'The Big Ticket' or 'The Klaw'.

Brian Cardinal

The Custodian, Citizen Pain, The Janitor

Also the weirdest one:

Bimbo Coles

Bimbo is in German a rarely used, deragatory word towards black people. It's not on the same level as the N-Word and probably not a single person has said it since the early 90s, but I was super weirded out when I pulled Bimbo Coles for the first time as a trading card in 94. And that name stuck with me, so when I had internet I actually looked up the English meaning of the word, which made things weird in a completely different direction. Now fast forward to 2014 when I move to Portugal and learn that Bimbo is the biggest white bread brand in the country. So in that sense I guess his nick name is a success, since I often thought about a pretty mediocre 90s Point Guard on some bad teams while buying bread the last 10 years.

Magic. His nickname replaced his real name for crying out loud.
