Hick from French Lick, anyone?

Great nickname, but Magic has got to be number 1. For people who are 100 years old, Babe would probably be number 1.

 

[Black Adam]

It's a good one but let's do some sleuthing:

Ironhead Heyward
The Refigerator
Shoeless Joe Jackson
The Mailman
Say Hey Kid
Kung Fu Panda
The Iron Horse
Johnny Football
The Big Hurt
Megatron

There's plenty to choose from

Mercury Morris
White shoes Johnson
World B. Free
George "Ice Man" Gervin
Shaquille "the Big _______" O'Neal
Robert "big shot Bob" Horry
Ed "too Tall" Jones

 

[Black Adam]

forgot "Truck" Robinson and "Tree" Rawlins...

 

[Black Adam]

AK-47 is a great one... fits with Soviet precision.

also known to shoot damn near any kind of ammo...

Isn't World B Free his actual name? Like Tiger Woods changed his name?

Yeah... that nickname was too perfect... brought it all together: Russian dude, A.K. initials, jersey number.

Maybe offer him to the Lakers in the AD deal?
