    Re: Best/Worst nicknames in sports or otherwise

    One of my favorites players of all time Walter "sweetness" Payton
    growing up, locally I liked Lewis "black magic" Lloyd when he played for Drake
    My high school basketball coach always referred to our post players as the "human erasers" in reference to Marvin Webster
    last one... Marvin " bad news" Barnes
    Gladly accept the gifts of the present hour.

    Re: Best/Worst nicknames in sports or otherwise

    What about "World B. Free"? Or is that not a nickname since he changed his legal name to that?

    easily has to be e11en1

    1) the hawks aren't close to 11-1.
    2) he's not athletic or knowledgeable.
