Don't know about worst, but Ender for Wiggins will be one of the best ever. Well, if really turns out of the great. :lol:

It was STAT for the longest time and I never thought that it would be beat, but then came WoW.

Both guys adopt stupid nicknames and then start to have knee trouble. Coincidence? I think not. You can't have nicknames that terrible and not expect the universe to come at you.

I gotta go with Vino or Black Falcon. The latter is cool on its own, but it seems to bite Black Mamba.

Il Mago sounded cool. Too bad Bargs has fallen off a little bit lately.

Yeah. I still think the Raps coaching staff had a big part in destroying him by trying to turn him into a center. Even his shooting motion seems to have changed from his rookie season.

I'm not saying you have to use a nickname instead of an abbreviation, I'm saying they're not the same thing. If you prefer abbreviations that's fine, but it doesn't mean an abbreviation is a nickname.

And obviously one of this is serious in the big picture, compared to kids starving to death and wars and stuff. In the big picture, every single post on this board is about grown men playing a children's game while wearing short pants.

A nickname doesn't have to tell you ****. It's just a substitute for a proper name. You're over thinking it. Muggsey Bogues nick name being Muggsey doesn't tell me anything about the nature of Tyrone Bogues

Actually, it does. He got the nickname Muggsy in high school for his physical style of play, because it looked like he was mugging guys on the court.

Black Mamba fails because Kobe gave himself the name. White mamba on the other hand, is boss.
