Worst and Best Nicknames in Sports
Alright, I can't stand it anymore and have to say something about it.ย What better place then right here on the bleacher report to vent about the trend of unoriginal nicknames in sports.ย So with out further adieu, here is the worstย (and best, because Iย was having a good timeย looking them up)ย nicknames in sports, sport by sport.
MLB

A-rod, F-rod, and I-rod.ย We get it, your last name is Rodriguez.ย
At least come up with something somewhat creative.ย ย This reminds me of the 80's when any Hispanic pitcher who could throw above 90 mph was automatically dubbed "Senor Smoke"
Best
"Fat Elvis"โLance Berkman.ย ย Some nicknames areย just dead on.
"Roller Coaster Jones"โTodd Jones.ย Sadly, it looks like it hasย come derailed permanentlyโbut it was so true while it lasted.
"Big Papi"โDavid Ortiz.ย Ah, just like the father you wish you had, if only your dad didn't drink and swear all the time.ย
NBA
Worst
J-Kidd, D-Wade, B-Roy, and so on.ย LAZY Jerks.ย This is worse then the MLB because anyone can do it.ย ย
Best
"Agent Zero"โGilbert Arenas.ย ย His nicknameย along with his jersey number beingย zero makes this aย great nickname.ย How exactly do referees signal a foul on him?
"Sheed"โRasheed Wallace.ย ย I know thisย breaks my rule of nicknames notย beingย part of the players name, butย being in theย Palace when the crowd starts chanting itย would give anyone goosebumps.ย If you listen to a game on TV you will hear it also every time heย touches the ball.
"The Human Victory Cigar"โDarko Milicic.ย Ah, the humiliation that is Darko.
Worst
T.O and LT.ย Oh my freaking word.ย That is it, from now on I will only be referred to as B.R. or B-Reg (I would also like to be referred to as B-Rod, but my last name isn't Rodriguez...stupid parents.)
Best
"The Bus"โJerome Bettis.ย Big Runningback + Yellow and Black Uniform = Great Nickname.
"T.J Whosyamama"โT.J Houshmand.... (whatever).ย Alright this is my third and final time of breaking my no real name nickname, but it works so well.ย Can anyone spell or pronounce thisย last name?ย I thought not.
"The Tuna"โBill Parcells.ย It works even better now that he is a dolphin.
"The Black Hole" --Oakland Raiders fans.ย Iย have always been a fan ofย this nickname for a group of fans because they back it up so well.ย Now where else in sports will you find a group of fans thatย are so outlandish and crazy comeย gameย time.ย ย
That is it for my list.ย Feel free to add your own.ย
B Rod out.ย (Screw it, I kinda like the sound of it.ย I am changing my last name tomorrow.)
