George "Ice Man" Gervin, Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon, Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, Charles "The Round Mound of Rebound" Barkley, Ervin "Magic" Johnson, Dennis "Worm" Rodman although urban legend has it that he had a king cobra, and Daryl "Chocolate Thunda" Dawkins are all good but for some reason Oscar "Big O" Robinson stands out in my mind.

I liked Grandmama and the commercials Larry Johnson had. The Admiral for DR. Andrei Kirilenko -AK-47, and the classic Pistol Pete Maravich.

I've thought about this before, and I really believe that Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon symbolizes what he meant to the Rockets from the very beginning, as well as him coming from Nigeria to achieve the dream, and it rhymes. That's the perfect nickname.

I'd have to say Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson is all time best
and Chauncey "Mr Big Shot" Billups is today's best nickname
