What about Shawn Kemp, the Rainman? Dominique Wilkins, the Human Highlight Film? 'Downtown' Freddie Brown? Gus 'Wizard' Williams? 'Slick' Watts?

Obviously, I'm an old Sonics fan mind you, but those are some great nicknames...

okay but naming all of Shaq's nicknames could be a quiz of its own.

Knew what you meant, but I've always heard Dominique Wilkins referred to as "The Human Highlight Reel", as opposed to the "Human Highlight Film". Sorry to be nit-picky.

Just a nicknames quiz for a small number of NBA players.............the quiz did not say "Every nickname ever in the NBA"....give it a rest.

This quiz triggers people's memories of other nicknames they've known, some of which they really liked. Why is that a problem?

It wouldn't let me spell andersen even though I spelled it correctly both ways so whoever created this is a dumb ass.

I know it's been stated abundantly this year, but the quiz does not accept 'Andersen' despite that being his last name. It requires the quiz taker to type 'chrisandersen' his full name, which is not required for the vast majority of quizzes on Jetpunk, even for any of the other players in this quiz. Please fix this!

Bruh. I keep forgetting Chris Andersen is "The Birdman!" I usually forget Kevin Garnet, Jason Williams, Shawn Marion, Chris Andersen, and Andrei Kirilenko. Well, better keep working to get 100%.

And also, I keep forgetting that Glen Davis is "Big Baby", but luckily, for "The Brow", I type in Davis and Anthony Davis appears in "The Brow" and Glen Davis appears in "Big Baby."

I lived in Boston during the Celtics' championship run in the late 2000s. I don't think I heard "the Big Ticket" even once.

Half man, half amazing (vince carter)? Probably better than the birdman whom anyone outside of Miami won't remember.
