#25. Robert Horry - "Big Shot Bob"

As we work our way through this list, you'll find multiple Hall of Famers and players that played the game with an exciting flair. Robert Horry doesn't fit into either of those categories, but he is undoubtedly one of the greatest winners in NBA history.

Horry won an eye-opening seven championships with three different teams across his 16 professional seasons, the most of any player in the post-1960s Celtics era. While Horry filled different roles for his squads in each of those championship seasons, he earned the moniker "Big Shot Bob" due to his consistent ability to hit crucial shots in the biggest of games. He's considered one of the most clutch performers in NBA history.

 

#24. Wilt Chamberlain - "The Big Dipper", "The Stilt"

Ok...so maybe "The Big Dipper" doesn't sound cutting edge to our modern ears, but we had to include the man that was one of the most dominant players in basketball history on our list. Wilt Chamberlain famously hated his "Wilt The Stilt" moniker, so many referred to him by his more friendly byline, "The Big Dipper". Coined due to the 7'1" legend's need to dip his head when walking through doorways, Chamberlain blazed an unforgettable path for big men in the game and still holds a remarkable 72 NBA records despite last suiting up in 1973.

 

#23. Kevin Durant - "Slim Reaper", "KD"

Some of the best nicknames are also some of the most obvious. Kevin Durant's "Slim Reaper" moniker plays on two of his most noticeable traits: his lanky 6'10", 240lb frame and his deadly shooting skills.

Durant's other well-known byline, "KD", is simple cool at its finest, which is fitting for a player that's roundly considered one of the best of his generation.

 

#22. Moses Malone - "The Chairman of the Boards"

When you're blessed with a name as cool as Moses Malone, you don't really need a moniker. However, the three-time MVP was tabbed with a byline that acknowledged his dominant rebounding ability, as "The Chairman of the Boards" led the NBA in rebounding six times in a seven-year span at one point during his illustrious career. Malone ended his Hall of Fame playing days with 16,212 boards, a mark that still stands as the fifth most in NBA history.

 

#21. Vince Carter - "Vinsanity", "Air Canada", "Half-Man/Half Amazing"

Perhaps the greatest dunker in NBA history, it's fitting that Vince Carter was dubbed with multiple cool call signs during his amazing 22-year NBA career. Carter's time as a young player with the Toronto Raptors spurned the "Air Canada" label, while both "Vinsanity" and "Half-Man/Half-Amazing" perfectly encapsulated the former North Carolina Tar Heel's jaw-dropping exploits above the rim. Carter's combination of grace, power, and creativity left basketball fans speechless and competitors with little hope of staying off his highlight reels.

 

#20. Rafer Alston - "Skip 2 My Lou"

Legendary "streetballers" rarely find sustained success in the NBA, but Rafer Alston was able to make the jump from the playground to the game's highest professional level and put together a respectable 11-year NBA career. "Skip" earned his nickname while playing at Harlem's legendary Rucker Park, and was one of the original stars of the famous And1 mixtapes and tours. Alston's style, flair, and unique "Skip 2 My Lou" moniker made him a cultural icon that was beloved by an entire generation of hoopers.

 

#19. Hakeem Olajuwon - "The Dream"

Rhyming adds instant credibility to a good nickname, and Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon was a fitting moniker for the Nigerian-born seven-footer that's widely considered one of the greatest centers of all time. Olajuwon didn't play basketball until he was 15, but the soccer skills he'd honed during his youth translated beautifully to the hardwood.

One of the most graceful big men in the history of the game, "The Dream" shimmied and shook his way into the Naismith Hall of Fame, displaying a vast array of post moves first at the University of Houston and then as a two-time NBA champion with the Houston Rockets.

 

#18. Stacey Augmon - "Plastic Man"

Maybe I'm just biased because Stacey Augmon and the UNLV Runnin' Rebels were the hottest team in basketball just as I was starting to love the game at a young age, but I will die on the "Plastic Man" hill. Augmon displayed acrobatic, elastic-like athleticism at UNLV and then during a 15-year NBA career that often left fans wondering just how on earth he was able to reach the rim from there. Unique, but fitting, Augmon's moniker - and his moves - remain memorable to a large generation of basketball fans.

 

#17. Paul Pierce - "The Truth"

Before he competed for titles with Boston's "Big Three", Paul Pierce spent years as the lone bright spot on some not-so-good Celtics teams. In his third year in the NBA, a young Pierce dropped 42 points on the defending champion L.A. Lakers, which prompted future Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O'Neal to pull a Boston beat writer aside unprompted and say of the third-year swingman, "...Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth...He’s the truth because what he’s doing is not a lie. That’s what you should call him from now on." The name stuck as Pierce evolved into a consistent All-Star player and eventual NBA champion.

 

#16. Clyde Drexler - "The Glide"

One of the most fitting monikers on this list, Clyde "The Glide" Drexler's call sign perfectly encapsulates the legend's swooping, silky style. During his playing days at the University of Houston, and then in Portland and Houston as a pro, Drexler became well-known as a smooth-operating high flyer that often ended breakaways with soaring dunks that made him appear to glide through the air. That the nickname rhymed with Clyde was just a nice bonus. He was a 10-time NBA All-Star that earned induction to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame following his successful career.

 

#15. Kobe Bryant - "Black Mamba"

Giving yourself a nickname is usually no bueno, but we're going to let the legendary Kobe Bryant slide for dubbing himself "Black Mamba" after a viewing of the movie Kill Bill.

When you possess once-in-a-generation talent and a legendary work ethic, you can pretty much do what you want, and the Laker icon usually did just that. It's no surprise that the ultimate competitor was right, as his "Black Mamba" moniker grew to be universally beloved over the years and is still referred to after his tragic passing in a helicopter crash.

 

#14. Karl Malone - "The Mailman"

The two-time NBA MVP earned his well-known nickname during his college days at Louisiana Tech because he "always delivered". Malone kept making regular deliveries throughout his illustrious 19-year NBA career, where he spent 18 seasons with the Utah Jazz and teamed with John Stockton to form one of the most devastating duos in basketball history.

Widely considered one of the greatest power forwards of all time, "The Mailman" finished his unforgettable career with 36,928 career points, a mark that still stands third on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

 

#13. Darryl Dawkins - "Chocolate Thunder"

The self-described alien from Planet Lovetron might hold the NBA record for the most nicknames, but Darryl Dawkins is best known by his sauciest moniker, "Chocolate Thunder", which was gifted to him by Stevie Wonder. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. Dawkins stands out as one of the most colorful characters in the history of basketball, and along with his unique, lovable persona, he's best known for his powerful dunks.

"Chocolate Thunder" led the NBA to institute the breakaway rim on regulation goals after he shattered two backboards during the 1979 season. While "Sir Slam" wasn't able to amass the stats needed for induction into the Naismith Hall of Fame, he's undoubtedly a first-ballot inductee in our Nickname Hall of Fame.

 

#12. David Robinson - "The Admiral"

Certainly the most patriotic moniker in our Nickname Hall of Fame, "The Admiral" is a call sign borne out of respect for David Robinson's service with the U.S. Navy, as well as his leadership qualities on the hardwood. Robinson was the top overall pick of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Draft and can be credited with kickstarting the turnaround for the floundering franchise.

The big man won two NBA Championship with the Spurs while earning 10 All-Star nods, the 1995 NBA MVP, and a pair of Olympic gold medals. "The Admiral" sailed into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame upon his retirement and is considered one of the greatest centers in NBA history.

 

#11. Allen Iverson - "The Answer", "AI"

A cultural icon for an entire generation, Allen Iverson was one of the toughest guards in NBA history. Standing just 6'0", Iverson was the shortest player ever drafted No. 1 in the NBA Draft. With superstars such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird nearing the end of their careers, many wondered how the NBA could continue to thrive after losing such star power.

A childhood friend of Iverson's coined his famous nickname when saying that Iverson would be "The Answer" to all of the league's problems. He was right, as "AI" represented a new generation of NBA stars. Despite his small stature, Iverson defied all the odds to win four scoring titles and be named the NBA MVP over his 14-year career.

 

#10. Jerry West - "The Logo", "Mr. Clutch"

You know you're a baller when you are the league's literal logo, which is why we open our Nickname Hall of Fame Top 10 with Lakers legend Jerry West. The West Virginia product made himself at home in Hollywood, amassing a Hall of Fame body of work over his 14-year NBA career.

West still holds many astounding records, including the highest points per game average in a playoff series (46.3) and the rather dubious distinction of being the only player ever named MVP of the Finals from a losing team. He's famous for his ability to make big plays in crucial moments, hence his "Mr. Clutch" moniker. However, it doesn't get much cooler than being the man whose silhouette makes up the actual NBA logo.

 

#9. LeBron James - "King James"

Lebron James has been famous for practically his entire life. He was tabbed with the "King James" moniker during his days as a high school phenom at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, and boy, has he lived up to the name.

Despite being the most-hyped player in history, James has somehow surpassed all expectations across his legendary 20 seasons in the NBA. Put simply, "King" is the perfect nickname for the player that many believe to be the greatest of all time.

 

#8. Dominique Wilkins - "The Human Highlight Film"

Earned during his playing days at the University of Georgia, Dominique Wilkins lived up to his billing as "The Human Highlight Film" throughout his dazzling NBA career. Wilkins spent the majority of his playing days with his hometown Atlanta Hawks and 'Nique was one of the few players of the era that rivaled Michael Jordan on the excitement scale thanks to his athletic and powerful dunks.

The two would square off in multiple dunk contests over the years with Wilkins winning over Jordan in 1985 (and again in 1990 without MJ in the field) and finishing runner-up to his "Airness" in what many fans consider the greatest dunk contest ever in 1988. The Atlanta legend averaged nearly 25 points per game across his 15 seasons in the NBA and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame following his retirement.

 

#7. Larry Bird - "The Hick From French Lick", "Larry Legend"

One of the biggest stars in NBA history, Bird's famous rivalry with Magic Johnson throughout college and into the professional ranks, helped grow the NBA into the juggernaut that we know today. Despite his global impact on the game of basketball, Bird came from a tiny town in French Lick, Indiana, and will always be known as "The Hick From French Lick" by many fans.

Bird's other well-known moniker, "Larry Legend", aptly sums up his unbelievable career with the Boston Celtics. He helped lead the Celtics to three NBA titles while personally winning three NBA MVP awards.

 

#6. Charles Barkley - "The Round Mound of Rebound"

For those too young to remember, Charles Barkley was a sight to behold on a basketball court. While now known mostly as a famous TV personality, Barkley's game was no joke. Barkley's physical appearance belied his astonishing athleticism and dogged determination.

Despite being significantly shorter and, at times, noticeably heavier than most of the forwards he competed against, Barkley once led the NBA in rebounding and averaged over 10 boards per game in each of his last 15 seasons in the league. The larger-than-life Barkley earned many nicknames during his Hall of Fame career, but "Round Mound of Rebound" is the most telling - and coolest - of the bunch.

 

#5. Giannis Antetokounmpo - "Greek Freak"

Sometimes nicknames seem almost too good to be true. That's where we find ourselves with Giannis Antetokounmpo's "Greek Freak" moniker. Born and raised in Athens to Nigerian parents, Antetokuonmpo's tough upbringing in one of the poorest parts of Greece is well known and serves as one-half of his moniker. The other portion comes from his truly freakish size and athleticism, as the muscular 7-footer possesses a wingspan that's off the charts and skills to match.

Let's be honest, it's also much easier for American fans to say "Greek Freak" than Giannis Antetokounmpo, though no one will ever have trouble remembering his unbelievable accomplishments, as Antetokuonmpo continues to grow his legacy.

 

#4. Michael Jordan - "Air Jordan"

Coined for his potential Nike sneakers line, fans had no choice but to embrace Michael "Air" Jordan once he hit the courts of the NBA. Jordan appeared to defy gravity on a nightly basis after joining the Chicago Bulls, and the only thing that soared as high as his electric dunks, was his popularity among basketball fans.

Jordan would become a living legend and cultural icon. Many credit "His Airness" for turning basketball into a popular global sport. A legendary competitor, he famously went 6-0 in the NBA Finals en route to winning six titles with the Bulls and would also be named the NBA MVP on five occasions. In addition to his greatness on the court, his "Air Jordan" sneakers remain popular to this day and are the best-selling basketball shoes in history.

 

#3. Pete Maravich - "Pistol Pete"

A basketball prodigy and one of the sport's greatest showmen, it's fitting that "Pistol Pete" Maravich was tabbed with such a cool and memorable nickname. Maravich earned the moniker during his high school playing days because he was so small he was forced to "shoot from the hip".

The once frail Maravich grew into his "Pistol Pete" nickname while playing his college ball at LSU, where he shattered almost every imaginable collegiate scoring record while averaging 44.2 points per game across his three years with the Tigers, despite no three-point line being existing. He still holds the NCAA Division I record for most career points scored.

Maravich eventually brought his innovative, circus style to the professional level, where his nearly unlimited potential went largely unfulfilled due to injuries and being stuck on bad teams, including the New Orleans Jazz expansion franchise for which he played the majority of his felt-too-brief 10-year NBA career.

 

#2. Julius Erving - "Dr. J"

Cool, classic, and timeless, just like Julius Erving's game, the "Dr. J" moniker earns a well-deserved, upper-echelon spot in our Nickname Hall of Fame. Dubbed "The Doctor" by a high school friend, the name would evolve during Erving's time spent playing at Harlem's legendary Rucker Park and stick with him throughout his illustrious playing career in both the ABA and NBA.

While the slam dunk existed before "Dr. J", he certainly popularized it and made it cool. Erving's dunks often displayed grace and a bit of artistry. Many single-handedly credit his popularity with keeping the ABA afloat and the league's eventual merger with the NBA. He's widely considered one of the best dunkers and overall players in the history of the game. Erving is the only player to win an MVP award in both the ABA and NBA. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993 and has been called one of the most impactful athletes of all time.

 

#1. Earvin Johnson - "Magic"

When your nickname is more well-known than your real name...it's a pretty darn good one. Some might not even know that "Magic" Johnson's real name is Earvin because the Lakers legend has become so synonymous with his famous moniker over the years.

Given to him by a sportswriter when he was a high school standout, Johnson has lived up to the magical billing ever since, leading Michigan State to an NCAA Championship and the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA titles while creating a famous rivalry with Boston Celtics star Larry Bird that led to exponential growth for the NBA.

"Magic" not only described the 6'9" point guard's game but also his magnetic and charismatic personality, as he remains one of the world's most beloved sports figures.
