	There was also a Hot Rod Hundley and a Hot Rod Williams, both of whom were much more well known by that nickname than Rod Strickland, who I've never heard referred to as such

	kenny smith - you have kenny smth

	@Ben Goldberg: hm. I may change that one. my main source was SLAM Magazine's 500 Best Ever mag, so blame them.

	@myphonesucks: well he is pretty well known, being on tv all the time on an Emmy winning program.

	SNash_13:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 00:55 GMT		3 points
	I'm pretty sure @myphonesucks means that you have it spelled Kenny Smth as in the letter i is missing.

	Dwayne Washington was also known as the "Pearl" - although Earl is by far the most deserving of the nickname.

	runDTC52:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 02:51 GMT		1 point
	@SNash_13: oh thanks. btw, Nash is my favorite player too (I'm assuming he's yours be your screen name).

	question for people who took the quiz: is the time enough? too much? too little? and

	Zeppelin1985:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 05:06 GMT		1 point
	I thought "great white hope" was Chris Mullin's nickname? And I don't think itd hurt to shave off a couple minutes!

	gttrsnp:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 05:48 GMT		3 points
	Kenny Walker was also very well known as "skywalker"

	ZQFMGB:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 08:54 GMT		1 point
	Could Mark Madsen be used for "Mad Dog"?

	4uwbadgers:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 11:21 GMT		1 point
	Kenny Smith or Kenny Smth, who cares? The real, original "The Jet" is Chet Walker!

	ABarrett1124:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 12:02 GMT		1 point
	How about The Hick from French Lick? Junkyard Dog?..and my all time favorite , the Plastic Man.

	runDTC52:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 12:15 GMT		1 point
	great suggestions. I'll make some updates. thanks.

	Its amazing how many nicknames Shaquille O'Neal has. I only got 32

	KansasJayhawk:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 18:21 GMT		2 points
	John Williams should also be acceptable for "Hot Rod". I thought it was awesome how you put so many Shaq names in, by the way. Very fitting tribute to his career.

	runDTC52:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 18:34 GMT		1 point
	Shaq is definitely one of my all-time faves.

	trotnixon1007:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 18:42 GMT		3 points
	Plastic Man should be Stacey Augmon, not Larry Bird.

	rloeb24:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 19:17 GMT		6 points
	dwight howard is not superman, shaq is. Also, never ever refer to lebron as the chosen one.

	Scal:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 19:41 GMT		2 points
	I have never heard Larry Bird called Plastic Man. It should be Stacey Augmon.

	jwedmore:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 19:54 GMT		0 points
	surprised you have no Jordan on here, seeing as he IS the greatest of all time

	runDTC52:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 20:41 GMT		1 point
	sorry, I just assumed Plastic Man was Bird. can't believe I did that. -Dwight goes by Superman now and I didn't figure calling him D-Ho would go over well on this site. -I didn't give him the nickname. it's tattooed on his back. -I didn't think MJ was that creative but I'll add it anyways. -as usual, thanks for the feedback.

	vikZ:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 21:31 GMT		0 points
	I was expecting 99.9% of the people to get MJ, not 4%

	runDTC52:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 22:07 GMT		2 points
	@vikZ: I only added MJ about an hour and a half ago.

	jwedmore:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 00:13 GMT		2 points
	you could add "hater" for pippen.. cuz thats what he should be known as from now on

	runDTC52:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 00:19 GMT		1 point
	@runDTC52: maybe. that's a good one though.

	XYlophonetreeZ:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 01:08 GMT		3 points
	Greatest NBA nickname ever isn't on here: Joel Przybilla, the Vanilla Gorilla.

	runDTC52:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 01:12 GMT		1 point
	@XYlophonetreeZ: WOW! never heard that one. I'll be sure to add that. awesome.

	lnelson89:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 01:34 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz. Less time would be appropriate. Here are some additional nicknames.... "Hibachi" "Legend" "Mr. Big Shot" "Rip" "Durantula" "Grandmama" "The Polish Rifle" "The Serbian Sniper" "Il Mago" "Stevie Franchise" "Big Baby" "Jesus Shuttlesworth" "Hair Canada" "I-block-ya/Iblocka" "The Custodian" "Magic" "Buck" "The Big Fundamental" "Captain Jack" "Employee #8" "Apollo 33" "Big Z" "Captain Kirk" "The Machine" ... to name a few

	@lnelson89: wow, looks like I forgot some. I'll have to add some more. almost to 100.

	nice to see "the boston strangler" andrew toney on here. amazing how many of these players have nicknames...i knew a lot of them (57) but didnt even really think about it til i saw them all on one quiz.

	PublicEnemy:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 03:19 GMT		3 points
	I loved "Half man-half a season" for Carter, that's hilarious and true.

	blakeshow32:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 04:58 GMT		0 points
	this quiz was too long and had too many nicknames. you should try and shorten it because i stopped around halfway through because i was bored

	purplebackpack89:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 15:52 GMT		1 point
	this quiz needs George "The Bird" Yardley

	Ibarez:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 04:55 GMT		0 points
	I'm REALLY shocked that only 3.9% know who "Magic" is. Only 28.7% know who "MJ" is?? Seriously?! Either a lot of these quiz takers are very young or they aren't that into the NBA.

	Jellodead:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 19:25 GMT		1 point
	There are many "The Jet"(s) in the NBA. Chet "The Jet" Walker for example.

	runDTC52:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 19:29 GMT		1 point
	@Ibarez: I added them after I published the quiz. that probably affected the stats.
