    Big Smooth
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins
    "The Nigerian Nightmare" Christian Okoye
    Walt "Clyde" Frazier

    This one isn't really an official "nickname" but Bill Simmons referred to Peyton Hillis as "The Avalanche" last year because "he's white, runs downhill, and leaves a path of destruction in his wake". That made me laugh my ass off when I first read it.

    I always thought The Cobra (dave parker) was pretty bad ass. Especially since he swung a sledge hammer in the on deck circle.

    Iceman (George Gervin) is pretty sweet too

    How come women athletes rarely have colorful nicknames, if any at all?


    The only one I can think of is Martina "Carpet Muncher" Navratilova.
    I think she got that nickname because she was so dominant on that surface.
