Cant believe you missed Metta World Peace’s nickname “Ron Artest”
Underrated comment
Don't you mena Pandas Friend?
I would' ve went with Ron World Peace
What or who or why is Metta World Peace?
Ron artest @@JoeInTheElement
Grand Theft Alvarado is one of the hardest nicknames i have ever heard. It perfectly sums up what the Jose is good at when he is on the court.
ice cold trae is tuff too and boy wonder herro
@@nomercyinc6783 On the street you are absolutely right. ON THE COURT, which is where i am referring too, it's great. He absolutely is a nuisance for the opposing offense on the court and i am all for it.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s nickname "Juan Wick" goes so fucking hard bruh
I only knew triple J, but this one is hilarious
@@lux_rebeisI thought that was Jaren Jackson Jr.
@@jackson.7028 Yeah that's true. But during the dunk contest he was also announced as triple J.
Magic is the GOAT nick name easily.Its ppl who don’t even know his real name
💯💯💯
I agree. Magic basically became his first name without him having any say in it 😂
AK47 gotta be the hardest nickname to ever exist
I didn't. Even wikipedia stated his name as Magic Johnson in the title 😂😂
I keep forgetting his name and think it's Michael
Slim Reaper was a such a cool nickname. Such a good name for his alternate shoe line as well, instead of the KD Treys.
frfr, "yo i got the slim reapers 5s on"
KD should have been Kevin DeoDurant because he makes his team stink less
Dude, you forget the best nickname of all: THE BIG FUNDAMENTAL!
Nah man I'm going with Magic Johnson. Some people still think that is his real name.
My man!
Timmay!!!
Thats far from the best imo, it just sounds… basic. Perfect for him but in terms of coolness far from the best. Agent 0 holds that title for me.
The most mid nickname of all time you mean
Dennis “the worm” Rodman
Good one
how is he not on here!?
Greek Freak is a fire nickname
I've been calling him the Greek God
Nigerian Freak
True
No one's calling kd easy money sniper lol
You left out one of the most iconic nicknames of all time. Clyde the glide. It's almost impossible to forget that one. Along with logo lillard.
"Dame Time", never heard "Logo Lillard" lol
@@Jirl_25 Logo lillard is super common. He pulls up from the logo, kind of his whole thing.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon I've heard "logo llilard" but "dame time" is used waaaay more among fans and it sounds cooler too imo
logo lillard didn't start until a few years ago dame time was always there
@@SolaceMcflyLogo lillard started waaay sooner than a few seasons ago. Both were used a lot
This was so good! Definitely needs a part 2 though! Chef Curry, The Greek Freak, The Joker, Spicy P, Spider Mitchell, Hookah Doncic, Air Canada, Muggsy, so many good nicknames.
Also need to do a whole video on all of the insane nicknames Serge Ibaka gave to himself 😂
This isn't the usual voice 🤔
I'm assuming new direction
He sometimes has guests like synthetic sports
Huhu
😢
@@chasethekid11not a new direction, they do this all the time LOL
wait i was the only dude calling kd duranatula? HAHHAAHHA
He hates that name 😂
2k's announcer uses 'Durantula' when he makes shots or assists in game. He was called Durantula back in OKC days but stopped when Nike/Durant got sued for infringement rights by a band called durantula? Or a song named durantula? (Either of the two, i forgot) durant let it go cuz he doesn't like the name, he chooses to be called "the servant" (cuz he only serve god) then the whole GSW drama started people calling him "The Serpent" instead.
I used to call him that too
@@allthingsinvestingandfinanceI love that name
Durantula and slim reaper
As well as snake and cupcake
I always loved "Anthony Day-to-Dayvis". One of my all time favorites.
And Street Clothes
@@jokerofmorocco lol
He's The Brow
Not having Pistol Pete is a crime 😭
Chef Curry and the Joker shoulda made this list too.
And “Game 6 Klay”
Dislike this video, he showed them in the video but didn't mentioned their nicknames.
The Iceman George Gervin. It’s just the coolest nickname ever.
Yea good one
I refer to Austin Reaves as AR-15
@@TheNubari isn't that what I said?
Hillbilly Kobe is better
@@SaadFAzamnah AR-15 sounds bettefr
cause just like the gun , he never misses
@@convexshades260 real
No chef curry mention 😭
That’s exactly who I was listening for like damn 😂😂
Also him being Wardell
he skipped some modern nicknames, like the beard or uncle drew
@@vtgplayz only coming to hear one persons name that you already know is insane
Caring about why someone watches a video is insane.
New voice, not bad. A1 editing and transitions to nicknames fr 💯
UNCLE DREW😂😂😂
Where is "The Joker"?
“Hill billy Kobe” 😂😂😂
Great transitions in this video! I loved the order you chose for players in this video, very creative and thought out.
LEGIT editing. Fire. LOVE the voice over. The content. GOAT CONTENT!!
Nahhhh Tsunami Papi is crazy 😂😂 I need to hear the Hornets PA announcers call his name now 😂😂
You missed The Joker Nicola Jokic.... Damien Lillard...Dame Time ....The Chef Steph Curry....The Spider Donovan Mitchell.... Ice Trey Trey Young.....SGA Shai Gilcrest Alexander....Dwight Howard? Superman SquarePants lol These are good man. Gotta do a part 2 of this.
and jimmy buckets
Uncle drew kyrie
Kristaps The Unicorn Porzingis
Gary Payton The Glove, Kawhi Leonard The Machine/Claw, Karl Malone The Mailman, Isiah Thomas Baby Face Killer, Kobe Jelly Bean Bryant, Pistol Pete Maravich
Trey and Gilcrest is crazy
Absolutely amazing video. So much work and thought put into it. For me as a rather new NBA fan it was really interesting.
I’m so happy so many uploads recently keep it up guys love the channel
This was awesome. Hopefully you can make a Part 2 of NBA players nickname. “The Big Fundamental” Tim Duncan is another good one.
Good video great concept
We need a part two!!! Please make it
hey, nice video, better to release the part two
I miss the Durantula nickname
Slowly becoming one of my favorite CZcams pages!
Great video man, this was actually fun :D Keep it up
The Truth gotta be the most hypocritical nickname for that man 😂😂
Lmao “the irony”
fr, the guy is an allstar but not superstar. would be average in today's NBA
I just spent the last 3 days watching like 15 hours of your videos 😂. I just got into basketball this year and ive learned nearly the entire history because of your videos 😂. For that i thank you good sir
Absolute 🔥🔥 content
Trae Young's nickname "The Villain" deserves a mention here. And he fully embraces the nickname as well when he silences crowds in Boston and New York.
No Chef Curry? Baby Faced Assassin?
The Big Fundamental?
The Admiral?
The Mailman?
The Glove?
The Worm?
Joker
Reign Man, Horny, Big Shot Rob, The Claw, Mookie, Clyde the Glide, Skip 2 My Lou, VinSanity, Mighty Mouse, Agent 0, Iceman, Human Highlight Film, Skywalker, Stifle Tower... I mean, did you want to watch an hour long video... 😅
JT, Spida, The Big O, JB, I wouldnt mind
Thanks for the inspiration (:
I always thought Shawn Marion was nicknamed “The Matrix” referring to the numbers on the screen in the movie, because he always had numbers all the way across every stat in the box score 🤔
2:32 a good Segway from Andrei Kirilenko would’ve been Austin Reaves, one of his nicknames is AR15
great vid dawg
Straight to the point i love it
I Love Your Documentary Video Nonstop Sports
We need Part 2 🎉❤
Amazing transitions in this video! Keep up the good work!
Nick Young showed some promise in the league! Just didn't last long!
Best Sport Channel 👍
Thankyou for this!! 100 but It's sad how you didn't mention THE CHEF right from his Baby Faced phase to The Chef to the ABSOLUTE ASSASSIN.
Great video
One of the funniest not mentioned is Maple Jordan …aka Andrew Wiggins 😂
New voice, not bad. A1 editing and transitions to nicknames fr
Dang, I've been here since 2k, and Its been a while, but I'm proud of you brotha
Can’t believe you mentioned Austin Reeves at the end there listing him as ‘Hill Billy Kobe’ instead of his much more badass nickname AR15!
We’re gonna be mentioning “The Joker” as an all-time great nickname by the time his career is up. I’m sure of it.
Also gotta give some love to The Worm, The Lord of the Rings, The Big Fundamental, Big Game James, Chef Curry, Mr. Big Shot, Mt. Mutombo, The Glove and The Reign Man, Thunder Dan, The Chairman of the Boards, and my boy Big Country
Also Pistol Pete
Good vid bro, but pretty sure u missed "The Glove" Gary Payton
Great video! Would recommend to others!
OSM videos guys keep it up :)
Goat video😊
Ngl, "The Logo" is one of the greatest nicknames I've ever heard. Like, "Played IN the league? I AM the league." Transcendent.
Also, we can't forget some of the other awesome nicknames players have gotten over the years.
The Big Fundamental.
The Admiral.
The Glide.
Zeke.
Half Man Half Amazing / Air Canada.
Pistol.
The Franchise.
The Ming Dynasty.
Linsanity.
Big Ben.
The Assassin.
"Chef". Along with his teammate, "The Splash Brothers".
One got his from streetball; "Skip to my Lou".
Even Uncle Drew.
And so many more.
Juan wick for Jaime Jacquez is one of the hardest nicknames in the league
I think the joker is one of the best nicknames for one of the best players
Chuck by far has the best list of names. His B-sides are amazing: Crisco Kid, Bread Truck, Food World, and my personal favorite: The Wide Load from Leeds.
If you've ever been to Leeds, you would understand Chuck's personality because everyone there is insane. Shoutout Greenwave.
The Captain, Tiny, Agent Zero, Mr. Big Shot, Mookie, Muggsy, Vinsanity, Half Man Half Amazing, Air Canada, Wilt the Stilt, Clyde the Glide, The Big Fundamental, Sleepy, Steve Franchise, Clyde, The Iceman, The Beard, Hondo, The Big E, Big Shot Bob, The Microwave, Joker, The Reignman, The Waiter, Fat, Thunder Dan, The Mailman, Chairman of the Boards, Pistol Pete, Starbury, K-Mart, Cornbread, The X-Man, Dice, The Knick Killer, Mr. Basketball, Baby Jordan, Sid the Squid, Mt. Mutombo, Shaq Attack, The Chief, The Glove, The Mitten, The Rifleman, The Admiral, KryptoNate, The Big O, The Worm, Tree, Spider, 3D, J-Smoove, The Jet, The Skywalker, The Boston Strangler, Big Ben, Spud, The Human Highlight Film, Silk, Hot Rod, Big Game James, Ming Dynasty, Zen Master, Bad Boys, Splash Brothers, Run TMC, Twin Towers, Showtime, The Dream Team, The Redeem Team, etc...
you forget about pooh
@simaocosta9177 That's what the et cetera was for.
We need a part 2
The one I felt sorry for is Moose, that's one of the best nickname possible and it fits Greg Monroe's playstyle, just a shame that it's not the era for him.
I am no Durant fan but Slim Reaper is an awesome nickname.
Part 2 pls
They should have named durant the slim leaper
"The Timelord"...I pissed my pants. 🤣
Austin Reaves is AR-15
Never heard someone call him hillbilly Kobe 😂
Thats like. But needs continue.
Only a few min in and I can see your production quality is improving, by a bunch. Dope💩 Mayne
Nice job.
New voice is dope!
He really missed Uncle Drew and Chef Curry. Crazyyyyyy
i thought time lord was cause he always sent your shot back 😂
You should've included the baby faced assassin and the joker, underrated nicknames.
make a part 2 right away
Ppl forget how instrumental chris birdman anderson was to the second heat championship.
Magic is the greatest nickname ever, nothing comes close to it. Hell at one point in our life we all thought Magic is his real name, and to this day some people still don't know his real name
the splash bros, the brow, ant, uncle drew, TMac, the Joker, Greek Freak, Dame Dolla heaps that he didn’t mention aswell
bryant reeves' nickname is so good that people remember him as big country, not his actual name
Bro I always anfernee Hardaway was like a brother or something to penny😂
Great tranaitions
the terminator is coolest one for absoultly monster kawhi leonard
Where is the old narrator??🤔
There were like 4 different narrators this channel ever had lol.
I was genuinely waiting for some role player's and their nicknames, like James Johnson with "Bloodsport", or Matthew Dellavedova with "Outback Jesus"
How could you not mention Austin Reaves' AR15 nickname at the end there
“Speaking of eggplants…” cuts to Daryl Dawkins … wild 😅
Slim reaper is by far the hardest. Hes also got the second hardest: Durantula.
Do A part 2

Chef Curry and The Brodie. Also- The Klaw and The Jaw?. I was wondering if anyone would call Zion the "Dunkcachino master", but that's not my opinion x,) 🤣
shaq also calls himself dark nowitzki
the ak 47 guy🔥🔥
Kobe got the idea of the nickname "Black Mamba" from the movie Kill Bill. He was a huge fan of martial arts movie and he was heavily inspired by the main character Beatrix "Black Mamba" Kiddo who seeks revenge on her former friends and family who attempted to murder and leave her for dead. Kobe explained in a interview how many people turned on him after a tough time in his life (Colorado incident) and people he consider like family left him and doubted his individual greatness (Shaq and Phil Jackson). So he created a mindset of getting revenge on everybody that doubted and left his NBA career for dead
Nicknames aren't self-made.
@@keithjoseph128 It's literaly explained in the video some were self-made, like Black Mamba. Shaq also created his own nicknames.
@@manchesterunitedno7 exactly, thanks for showing your ignorance.
@keithjoseph128 LeBron called himself "King" James and Shaq calls himself like hundred different nicknames...doesn't really matter
@@jabrilwebb5624 you don't know what a nickname is.
Any man who must say, "I am the King", is no true king.
-Tywin Lannister
I feel like in general, sports nicknames have been pretty lame for the most part. Everyone just defaults to the player’s initials or initials + Jersey number
Atleast we got Ant Man
Not in combat sports though
ur capping if u dont think AK-47 is the hardest nickname of all time
Jimmy Buckets doesn't sound lame to me.
@@miketoronto8308nah, really isn't. Don't even know who that is, or what sport you're talking about 😂
