Sports Nicknames

[Travmire]

What are your favorite sports nicknames?

For me, it's a tie between AK-47 (Andre Kirilenko) and The Pillsbury Throwboy (Jared Lorenzen).

AK-47 is a cool name in itself, and then you add that he's Russian, his initials are AK and his number is 47. Everything about it works.

The Pillsbury Throwboy is just a funny nickname, and if you've seen Lorenzen play, you know it's accurate. When he lines up behind the center, he looks like he is the center. I'll give him credit though, he was a very good QB (by Kentucky's mediocre standards).

Edit: New user title; man I'm fucking clever and original!
