Best Athlete Nicknames

[bostrem00]

I was listening to some Creedence Clearwater Revival, the song "Bad Moon Rising" came on....and I immediately thought of Andre "Bad Moon" Rison, what are some other of the more iconic nicknames of athletes?

 

[Tre4ISU]

It's not a nickname but it was used in a line. Chelsea "Don't Call Me Mary" Poppins

 

[Mr Janny]

Calling Anthony Thomas "The A-Train" was pretty awesome. Wish his career would have gone better, though.

But you've gotta love "Broadway Joe" Namath

and Larry "Grandma-ma" Johnson

Joakim Soria - "The Mexicutioner"

Rod Smart - "He Hate Me"

Daryl Dawkins - "Chocolate Thunder"

 

[CyDude16]

He Hate Me, XFL player... that was comical.

GeBurgess beat me to it.

 

[Mr Janny]

Joakim Soria - "The Mexicutioner"

Rod Smart - "He Hate Me"

Daryl Dawkins - "Chocolate Thunder"

Rod Smart is a really good one. Has anyone else ever been known more for their nickname than him?

Here's another goofy one:

Tony "The Croatian Sensation" Kukoc.

 

[Tre4ISU]

Denard "Shoelace/Dilitium" Robinson

 

[geburgess]

Oh, almost forgot... Albert Pujols - "The Machine"

 

[RhoadsRage]

Don't know if you wanna consider this a nickname since most of the world knows him by it but..........Magic Johnson was my favorite because, with the showtime Lakers, he was pure magic!!!!

 

[Tre4ISU]

Tiger. End of discussion. The reasoning behind it is cool

 

[RhoadsRage]

Sweetness is still one of my favorites too.........LOVE Walter Payton!!!!!

 

[CyFever]

The Akron Hammer.

 

[RhoadsRage]

Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini

Chris Berman might be a ****** announcer, but some of his Bermanisms are pretty damn funny.

The Durantula has to be one of the best out there, right now for sure the best one out there.
