Nicknames for players when they're sucking

Excellence · Post #1 » by **Excellence** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 12:23 pm

What are some nicknames for players - be they superstars or scrubs - when they're not playing well, or doing something you don't like, or has a personal characteristic that you don't like, or merely find funny? This is not a thread to bash players, and it doesn't matter how well they're currently playing - these are nicknames that we would call them only in the event that they're having a bad stretch. Here are some that I've heard:

Bargnani = Bustnani
Dirk when he doesn't play defense = Irk
TJ Ford when he doesn't pass = Me-J
Kobe when he doesn't pass = Ko-Me
Iverson = The Question
Lebron = LeTravel, LeBald
Charlie Villanueva = Vanilla-no-juevo
Vince Carter = Wince
Robert Horry = Cheap Shot Rob
Marbury = Starbaby
Antoine Walker = Fatoine
Pau Gasol = Gasoft

Crawford - Crawful
Marbury - Loserbury, Towelbury, Cancerbury and so on, AWOLbury is also a great find
JJ - Erred Effries
Q. Richardson - Q-Brick

as you can see the knicks board is very creative

I remember last year we referred to Carlos Delfino as Carlos Chuckfino, or Count Chuckula.

Any player whose name begins with J can have the J removed when their missing their jumpshots, just as any team or player whose name begins with D can have that D taken away when they stop playing defense.

You can put pretty much anything after the the "Le" in Lebron, e.g. Lesuck, Leblow, etc.

What's with the Fisher hate? think about the starting point guard we had to deal with before we got him back. Fisher should be appreciated more.

Heres a what if "Dewayne Waive (If he ever gets cut lol)
