Dead nicknames? (alien.top)

Was just thinking about how no one calls Malik Monk, Moist Monk anymore? Bledsoe after he left the bucks, the Aqua Dagger nickname died there too. Alot of these middle of the pack guys, ppl forget them it's kind of sad. Any more examples?

Moist Monk is a disgusting nickname

Thanks for sharing these nickname! Big Ticket for Kevin Garnett was my favorite. It really described his amazing game-changing talent. His presence on the court was always unmistakable. Another one that comes to mind is A.I. for Allen Iverson. Such an intense player and his crossover was unstoppable.

I wish all the initials as nicknames would die. Wish they'd run off the cliff like the O'Doyles

[–] Fearless_Message_225@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But, but... O'Doyles rule?

Birdman?

People still call him that. He's retired though so he doesn't get brought up.

Slim Reaper.

Maybe one of the best nicknames ever and Durant preferred THE SERVANT

[–] everyoneneedsaherro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He changed his stance on that. Durantula is more fitting for this post
