Bird's actual nickname is "Basketball Jesus"

As Dave Barry once wrote: God took all the basketball talent ever intended for white people and put it into Larry Bird.

You also missed:

"The Round Mound of Rebound" AKA "Sir Charles" Barkley
"The Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain (he was the big dipper in more ways than one, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!)
"The Admiral" DAve Robinson

and I CAN'T believe you left out:
Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen

I love it when Charles Barkley calls Sam Cassell "Gollum"

The best had to be the nickname for the GS Warriors tandem of Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullen - "Run TMC". Too bad that threesome got split up so soon.




Who was "Baby Jordan"? I know it was somone unworthy, but I don't remember...
