"The Iceman" - George Gervin
For the man with one of the smoothest games ever comes one of the suavest nicknames ever. The bonus with having nickname like this is you know you're cool - no nerdy guy will ever be called Iceman

“Pistol Pete” - Pete Maravich
Its sounds Bad Ass and was a dead on description. Pete was dangerous on the court, sometimes for his own team. It captured his danger and unpredictability.

“Chocolate Thunder” - Darryl Dawkins
This may be the best nickname period. Find me one person who doesn't smile at the phrase Chocolate Thunder? Dawkins threw down monster dunks - hence the Thunder. He was African-American, hence the Chocolate.
