All NBA stars and nicknames

"'The Postman' was leaning in the back and 'The Ticket' had to give the ball to 'The Maniac', who was facing the 'Glove' for a layup but 'The Shark' grabbed the rebound"

NBA fans may want to remember the NBA as a whole. The 'Glove' makes a layup, but the 'Shark' steals the rebound. ......"

NBA fans who love nostalgia may want to watch the "Man vs. "Battle of the Wolves" and hear commentary like this. "Mailman," "Big Ticket,"

, "Madman" and "Glove. Glove" (Glove) refers to Karl Malone, Garnett, Sprewell and Payton, respectively, "Shark"

O'Neal's other name is "Diesel" (Shaq Diesel)

O'Neal's other name is "Diesel" (Shaq Diesel)

O'Neal's other name is "Diesel" (Shaq Diesel). " (Shaq Diesel)

NBA stars have always had a tradition of adding a nickname to their names, which naturally follows the star's own popularity. Like "Flyers" (Air)

Jordan no one knows, "Magic" (Magic) Johnson no one knows, I believe that many people do not know or already do not care about "Magic! "

The real name of Magic is Earvin Johnson.

A decade or two ago, when the NBA wasn't as global in its popularity as it is today, fans seemed to prefer calling players by their nicknames. The San Antonio Spurs, who merged into the NBA from the ABA in the mid-1970s, never won an NBA championship but had a talented group of individual players. George Gervin (George

Gervin) was nicknamed "Iceman" (Iceman), and James "Snake" Silas

Silas

. "The

Whopper" Paultz), "Special K" Larry Kenon (Larry "Special K" Kenon), "Sugar Cane" (Larry "Special K" Kenon), and "The Candyman" (Larry "Special K" Kenon). Kenon), and "Sugar"

Mike "Sugar" Gale are all favorite icons.

The Detroit Pistons, who won two NBA championships in the late 1980s and early 1990s, also have their own nicknames for their starters, such as "Spiderman" John Salley (John

"Spiderman" Salley), "Mickey" Salley), "The Microwave" Vinnie Johnson (Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson)

, as well as the later rebounding king "Big Bug "Dennis "Worm" Rodman. In fact, in English, Worm refers to worms, which means "little worms"

, while "big worms"

in Chinese is an alias for tigers, so since this translation has become a fact, there is no need to go after it. The team's top player at the time was the general manager of the current New York Knicks team, nicknamed "Zeke"

Isiah "Zeke" Thomas, "Zeke" is "Isiah's" nickname. Zeke" is the biblical alias for "Isiah". "The Smiling Assassin"

is another nickname for Isiah Thomas, a nickname that arose from a comment Thomas' opponent made about him one time, "(On the court) he always puts a smile on your face first and then takes you out."

"Smiling assassin" is "baby-faced assassin", which means "baby-faced assassin"

. The team was also nicknamed the "Bad Boys".

It's a bit of a letdown that not a single player on the Dallas Mavericks, one of the hottest teams in the NBA today, has a decent nickname. The most pathetic is a time when the Mavericks were playing on the road and local fans put up placards attacking the English spelling of three of Dallas' starters, with signs that read "Dirty(dirty)

, Nasty(disgusting), Filthy(obscene)," pointing to the likes of Nowitzki( Dirk), Nash and Finley, respectively.

But most ballplayers continue the tradition. Duncan's nickname is "The big fundamental" (The big fundamental), Iverson is "The answer" (The

Answer), Carter is "Canadian Flyer" (AirCanada). "(AirCanada), Pierce was called "The Truth" (The Truth)

, and Francis was called "Franchise" (Franchise). However, having a nickname is by no means a "privilege" for NBA players.

"Cap" Jabbar was asked on the day the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced his retirement, "Who is the greatest player you've ever played against?"

Jabbar pondered for a long time and finally answered, "I'd have to say 'The Goat' , Earl McNicholte."

Earl "The goat" Manigault

was the greatest streetball player on the streets of New York City, known as "The Goat" because of his unpronounceable name. "The Goat" . Standing at a mere 1'85", "The Goat"

was able to dunk over the head of the 2'20" Jabbar with ease. Many longtime fans on the streets of New York swear to have seen "The Goat" do a double dunk

. The story goes that in the final moments of a streetball game, with his team trailing by three points, The Goat

darted in for a left-handed dunk, caught the ball in the air with his right hand, dunked it again, and told the referee that it was a four-point game. Unfortunately, due to drugs and crime, "The Goat"

didn't have the success he deserved. (There's a lot about "The Goat" on the internet, so I won't go into it here).

Back to the NBA players, many of whom have long and strange nicknames, like the Heat's Rafer Alston, whose nickname is "Skip to my

Lou," which comes from the lyrics of a pop song that describes his skillful dribbling. And Dominique Wilkins

is nicknamed "Human Highlight Film," which also describes his skill on the ball. Wolves guard Cassell has been dubbed "Alien"

and has been the subject of many jokes by the likes of Barkley for his distinctive looks.

Lastly, a personal comment. I always feel that the translation of Francis' "privilege" as "boss"

doesn't seem to be appropriate, because if Yao Ming becomes the "big brother" of the team in the future, who do you think should be called the real "boss"? Who should be called the real "Boss"? And Yao's Chinese nickname is "Little Big Man,"

which is really unimaginative. And the English nickname "Ming Dynasty"

isn't very nice either, because the Ming Dynasty was historically a weak dynasty, which doesn't sound good on Yao Ming, who has high expectations. I named Yao Ming "The

Hulk" after the movie of the same name. The reason is that Yao Ming and the Hulk have some similarities, and Yao Ming's game is a bit soft, while the Hulk

will explode with superhuman energy once he gets angry, so Yao Ming should be stimulated to make himself more fierce. "The Hulk's final line in the movie, "You shouldn't make me angry,"

is one Yao should remember. (GUILI)
