Grant Hill said it on the broadcast and then I heard someone else use it on a podcast.
I also think "Stifle Tower" and "Slim Reaper" are pretty great current nicknames, even if Gobert and KD aren't my favorite players.
Basketball actually has some really great ones currently. Ant Man, Joker, Spicy P, Jimmy Buckets.

They were great when I was a kid and then went through a lull (T-Mac, C-Web, etc). I'm glad they're back.
It didn't quite fit the prompt, but I love Splash Brothers as a two man nickname.

Save that one. Maybe next week I will do a nickname duo/trio post. Splash brothers and the bash brothers in baseball come to mind. murders row in baseball. Triple Bs in baseball.

Nice. I almost put "Soul Patrol" as my NFL entry. I'm glad I'll get to use it.
I'm not sure how many nicknames I can think of like that.
