	World's Ugliest Man could also apply to Sam Cassell. Also, I think of Greg Oden as Patrick Ewing II because they look alike.

	This is a weird mix of actual nicknames and your madeup ones that don't seem to make a whole lot of sense and that people don't even use. Other than that, "Delante" should be "Delonte" and you're missing some interesting ones like Danilo "The Rooster" Gallinari, Stephen "Captain Jack" Jackson, and Amare "STAT" Stoudemire.

	I remember Sportscenter referring to Noah as the World's Ugliest Man one time.

	First off, a lot of these aren't obscure at all. Second, you can't have a Shaq clue and also have "Superman", since that obviously refers to both Dwight Howard and him. Third... this just isn't a good quiz.

	this quiz sucks, not obscure, spelling sucks, and your own nicknames are terrible

	Kendrick "The Intimidator" Perkins

	I liked Cry Baby Morrison. Glen Davis' new nickname - "the ticket stub"

	pablo2743:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 15:23 GMT		4 points
	its delonte west

	Kevin:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 15:27 GMT		8 points
	I agree, the only 'obscure' ones are those you made up. Incidentally, they are also the dumbest. Who knew?!

	rudyfernandez5:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 16:07 GMT		4 points
	A nickname is something that people call him, not something that you call him. This quiz was aweful.

	ZSGhost:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 16:07 GMT		1 point
	OK, first off the world's ugliest man is Hedo Turkoglu. Now that that's cleared up, I'm insulted that "Durantula" is a question.

	dlh1231:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 16:29 GMT		7 points
	The majority of these nicknames aren't obscure at all, and I want to see a source for nicknames like "Boom Boom Pow" and "Santa's Little Helper". By the way, Nate Robinson's nickname is "Kryptonate.

	Haunter:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 16:51 GMT		4 points
	"Cry Baby?" terrible.

	truk:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 17:10 GMT		2 points
	Will "Bynumite" Bynum. That's obscure, and real.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Sam Cassell is a ugly bastard.

	epic fail at a quiz

	teesmith21:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 21:43 GMT		3 points
	huh. I thought cry baby would be Antoine Walker, he always used to look like he was about to cry.

	JP17mets:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 23:23 GMT		3 points
	obscure?

	rolltide2850:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 23:25 GMT		9 points
	How did the one Jewish player on the quiz get the nickname Santa's Little Helper?

	klitch123:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 00:10 GMT		0 points
	cuz he looks like an elf.

	DonnyB:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 00:25 GMT		1 point
	Popeye Jones would argue with the last one.

	Golden:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 00:31 GMT		3 points
	@klitch - err... because we didn't make them up? The issues with this quiz are numerous - mangled nicknames, mistypes, a great lack of obscurity at all (except those nicknames which are made up) failure to know who has retired, and making any up. This quiz could be good if you listen to the comments you are getting. There is a reason we don't want your made up names - it has more to do with the fact we can't read your mind than how good you are at making them up. This should be testing knowledge, not smarts.

	i like the boom boom pau

	As far as real nicknames go, Matt "The Red Rocket" Bonner.

	Castro:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 00:56 GMT		2 points
	And Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins is another personal favorite.

	kbowe:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 01:07 GMT		-2 points
	"Durantula" - really?

	harpua22:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 01:47 GMT		1 point
	did you make up cry baby and rodman wannabe?

	klitch123:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 01:54 GMT		-2 points
	yup. (i helped the publisher make the quiz so thats why i answer rather than him). cry baby cuz of his episode after getting eliminated in the tournament, and rodman wannabe because of that rediculous hairstyle he sports vs. the thunder

	shenry1313:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 02:37 GMT		2 points
	tim "the big fundamental" duncan...pretty well known nickname given by shaq

	Next123:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 02:42 GMT		1 point
	its kryptonate not kryptonite

	cubscardinals:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 02:56 GMT		3 points
	durantula is a great one

	jcewt01:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 03:00 GMT		2 points
	Just a heads up: It should be Delonte, not Delante.

	krush:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 06:35 GMT		1 point
	it has been mentioned before but picking a random player and assigning him a nickname doesnt make any sense. How am I ever supposed to guess that you call delonte west frodo? I don't even understand it. And adam morrison is clearly a crybaby but I havent thought about him in five years. And while Noah may be ugly, I feel like i could give a hell of a case for shelden williams and charlie villanueva.

	I like Plastic Man for journeyman Stacey Augmon.
