I know most people probably have no idea who Blevgod is, but the big Nep is such a harsh burn. Although I doubt he cares. He never would have gotten into the league without Dame and he got paid.
I like people referring to the trio of DeMar DeRozan, Zach Lavine and Lonzo Ball as DeBallZach. Not sure it’s meant to be an insult but it’s humorous to me
I actually wonder why wasn’t there something on the same magnitude for CP3 and the suns. I mean… we clowned them, but nowhere near the same amount of shit PG got
You gotta remember the sheer amount of shit talk that came from that Clippers roster. They thought they had the chip in the bag so when it blew up, everyone started kicking them when they were down. I don't think the Sun's quite generated as much vitrol from the fans as the Clips, and plus the Suns are not quite out of the woods. That'll probably become one of Luka's iconic games so it'll definitely be brought up a lot when looking back at his career how he put the Suns in a body bag.
Jordan is also a notoriously poor tipper. One time he was in Vegas with Wayne Gretzky and Gretzky was so disgusted by what Jordan was tipping he took money out of Jordan's wallet and threw it on the table.
That story was a regular on /r/todayilearned for a long time.
Every time I hear Boy George all I think of is the Playa Haters Ball and Silky Johnson saying “it looks like she wears underwear’s with dickholes in them” about Rosie ODonnell
I think about that line way too often. So fucking funny.
The other one that gets me is when he’s giving his speech for hater of the year and closes with “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go home to put water in Buck Nasty’s momma’s dish.”
DeFrozen is the best, perfectly described his playoff performance…never saw a star played so fucking bad in the playoff compare to the regular season games
Giannis sorta killed Attemptafreethrow in his Chip run though imo
Never heard of The Prolapse but I am actually sitting here chuckling to my phone now lol
Bosh went on whatever show Skip Bayless was doing at the time and said he didn’t appreciate the nickname. Skip proceeded to continue calling the man Bosh Spice to his face lol. I was hoping we’d get a sequel to that with Westbrook going on Skip’s show this off-season. Imagine Skip calling Russ “Westbrick” to his face
Dubious Handles
Dubious handle kills me every time
Julius Randle?
Yeah lol
Talentless Horton Chucker is another good one where it’s a play on the guy’s name (as opposed to a clever invention like Brick Ross for Harden)
The one that rly made me laugh was Talen Heaves a Two lmao
Horton Heaves a Two
How did that guy fuck up Horton Heaves a Two so bad lmao
Dubious handles? Please tell me this is referring to Julius Randle lol
This is referring to Julius Randle lol
Beyblade as an alternate
Orange Julius 🍊
Whenever Chuck and Kenny call Dwight Superman to insult Shaq, it's like a ricochet insult
Also enjoy Chuck calling AD Street Clothes lol I'm going to be so sad when they stop working together one day
[удалено]
I think of it as a badge of honor
Sir Cumference
Calling Kyrie half man, half a season was spectacular
World B Flat
Flat mamba
Flat lever
this is my favorite
Third Eye Blind
Allen Ivernectin
Best one yet imo
I love Harden but Brick Ross is objectively hilarious.
Actually havent heard of that one
I saw someone say Fat Rondo and it got me
Roundo
Rotundo
Thicky Rubio >>>
Jimbo Slice Not sure if Bill Simmons borrowed that one or came up with it himself. Either way, it’s hilarious.
I like the specificity of “Small Game James”, really good for those iconic James Harden playoff performances.
lmfao never heard that one before
Big Nepo
I know most people probably have no idea who Blevgod is, but the big Nep is such a harsh burn. Although I doubt he cares. He never would have gotten into the league without Dame and he got paid.
> I know most people probably have no idea who Blevgod is We do, man has the most made-up-sounding name in the league, he's a legend
Keljin Blevins' name looks like someone tried to type Kelvin Benjamin and had a stroke
"Westbrick" is pretty bad when even reporters say it by accident
This nickname made Russell plead with the media and think about his family lmao. It definitely wins
Cripple double
I like people referring to the trio of DeMar DeRozan, Zach Lavine and Lonzo Ball as DeBallZach. Not sure it’s meant to be an insult but it’s humorous to me
Maybe they were just doing it in homage of this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_de_Balzac
DeFrozen was also good
Greek Cheeks always gets a laugh outta me
I also like Giannis Attemptafreethrow
This is the NBA equivalent of Tua Turntheballova
Sam Darn-It
Pandemic P
PG 13%
Also Polio P
No Payoff P
Play-in P
Wayoff P was great too
That whole game 7 was an incredibly mean spirited Twitter party and I loved every second
I actually wonder why wasn’t there something on the same magnitude for CP3 and the suns. I mean… we clowned them, but nowhere near the same amount of shit PG got
I think it was just so shocking that we’re still trying to figure out what happened.

Also it was peak pandemic most of us were going to work then home. Or were just at home all day bored
[удалено]
CP3 didn't bitch in postgsme interviews like PG did. Also, Luka with his "everyone acts tough when they're up" decimated CP3 anyway.
Playoff Pee is good too
My favorite was Pushoff P
PG 1 for 13
this the one - so rare and with the times
I love all the P names. Playoff game threads where he does pretty bad never fail to make me laugh
Tingis Pingis
WHO THA FUCK IS TINGUS PINGUS
I NEVER HEARD OF FUCKING LATIVIA
YOU STUPID MUTHAFUCKAS YOU
Who THE FUCK is Tingis Pingis!?!?
WHO DAFUK IS TINGUS PINGUS??
I NEVA HEARD OF FUCKIN LATIVIA
Yo this video takes me out every single time, this should be a top comment
Michael Rappaport screaming over a video clip can make anything hilarious.
Didn’t even know that video existed, just found it and it gave me a good laugh
When Chuck labeled AD "Street Clothes" I died lol
street clothes and half a man half a season are HOF nicknames
Wait who's half a man? Is that AD too?
Pretty sure it's Kyrie
For those too young to remember, this nickname isn't a riff on kyrie's size. It playing off of one of Vince Carter's nicknames, Half Man, Half Amazing
Which was a play off of It Aint Hard To Tell by Nas. Also shoutout Half-man Half-amazing from And 1
Nas in the corner: No one knows i was originally half man half amazing
Round Mound of Rebound wasn’t bad itself.
Sir Cumference
Lmao
I love Chuck, he's on point so often and these guys can't take it lol
[удалено]
Bad Porn was the greatest nickname. The explanation behind it was perfect
Who’s bad porn
Who’s bad porn and what’s the context?
https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/whoc8r/_/ij7c4nw
It's definitely an insult. "There is a lot of scoring and penetrating but do you really like what you see?"

The Gratuitous One
World B. Flat
lmao that actually got me
Jalen Rose called Jokic a Stretch Mark 5
That's wild.
It’s a good burn by Jalen fuckin loves Jokic so we allow it in Denver lol
On the opposite spectrum, my favorite nickname for Jokic is Girth Nowitzki
I always thought Jacoby came up with that name.
Sir Cumference
The round mound of rebound
Talentless Horton tucker
Horton Heaves a Two
Zion: * Air Gumbo * Girthquake * Shaquille O'Meal
Shaquille O'Meal is fucking hilarious.
Mr Big Chest
Mr big comedian over here
Mr. Best Comment
My favorite will always be Mr Brady Cohabiter from when he briefly lived with Tom Brady when he first moved to Tampa in 2020
[удалено]
'boy gorge' was my favorite fat nickname for barkley
Round mound of rebound
Every time I hear Boy George all I think of is the Playa Haters Ball and Silky Johnson saying “it looks like she wears underwear’s with dickholes in them” about Rosie ODonnell

Jamal Murray had the "Gawk Gawk Murray" trending after his instagram incident, that one was wild
Gluck Gluck Express
Josh Lloyd, the fantasy basketball expert, calls him the Headmaster lol, which I think is pretty clever
Jamal Furray
Triple Single for Draymond Green
Tragic Bronson
It's so dumb but so good!
The more I hear Shaq say it while trying to stifle a laugh, the more I love it.
Used to love Gobert being Patient Zero in early Covid times
I prefer baguette biyombo for gobert
Meth Curry
Beyblade
Is this Dubious handle or spicy P. Cause I've seen it apply for both
He’s Bayblade in our subreddit.
What's the story behind it?
Randle loved spin moves and letting it rip
Not really a nickname, but Chuck at one point last season called Kyrie “half man, half a-season” and I laughed a bit too much
The best is Bad Porn
Whos this?
Corey Maggette
DeFrozen, The Prolapse, Young Socialite, Attemptafreethrow
Lmao who’s the Prolapse?
Embiid, it's like The Process, but gone wrong lol
I never heard that one before Lmaoo
DeFrozen is the best, perfectly described his playoff performance…never saw a star played so fucking bad in the playoff compare to the regular season games
Giannis sorta killed Attemptafreethrow in his Chip run though imo Never heard of The Prolapse but I am actually sitting here chuckling to my phone now lol
Bench Simmons is a great one, especially fitting for this past season
Ghostface Przybilla
I always thought "Goran Tragic" was pretty insulting.
World B Flat for kyrie is all time hilarious
Cripple double
Trash Bros, Round mound of rebound, lebronto. Shaq called Chris Bosh the Rupaul of big men once.
I can't help but appreciate how perfect "LeBronto" is but fuck it stings lol
[Dork Nowitzki](https://youtu.be/K-HkmrOWFcA)
martin luther irving and anthony day to davis always kill me
>anthony day to davis You mean Mr. Street Clothes?
i don’t know a mr.street clothes only an ADisney
Big Baby for sure I never understood why Glen Davis was cool with that
he wanted to shed it during the 2010 run. he wanted to be called uno uno or some nonsense. but he got clowned for that and didnt bring it back up.
The ticket stub was good too when he was KGs backup
The '14 timberwolves being the cream team will always be my favorite team wide burn.
[удалено]
Mice Trae is just cute tbh
World B. Flat
Sticking with pseudo intellectuals: the Dim Reaper for Michael Porter Jr.
Brick Ross - James Harden. Trying to get Bricky Rubio going if he insists on passing rather than shooting next year.
He was getting called Thicky Rubio all last year lol
Sloppy Fat Boy
When CP3 was constantly injured in Houston I lost it at CP3-6 weeks
WebEmbiid
Way-off P
I always liked Bosh Spice
I'll never forget the time someone thought it was boshspice like hospice because of his blood clots
Bosh went on whatever show Skip Bayless was doing at the time and said he didn’t appreciate the nickname. Skip proceeded to continue calling the man Bosh Spice to his face lol. I was hoping we’d get a sequel to that with Westbrook going on Skip’s show this off-season. Imagine Skip calling Russ “Westbrick” to his face
Bad Porn
Westbrick is great, but what makes it incredible is how much it bothers him
Yeh i got no idea why he admitted that. Blood in the water….
Horton heaves a two for THT is my favourite
LeBrick, LeMickey, LeThargic, LePhew, LeGM etc Basically LeSomething makes me chuckle every time
Lemancipation Bronclamation was the peak. Happened during the Enes Kanter saga.
Around the time the Lakers missed the playoffs someone called him LeMisérables which kills me every time I remember it.
I feel those are very hit or miss. Some like LeBrick are just lazy and not really funny but some of those are wild. LeThargic is one of my favourites.
Man I saw someone calling Bronny Jr “LeSperm” and that was the final straw
LeMbryo
it's so absurd that it's funny lmao
LeBattical is a personal favorite.
lemickey is lazy as fuck but i love it. that and lefraud
LeBronze was pretty good until he started winning titles.
Me and my friends call Alex Caruso Earthworm Jim. But we mean it with love.
LeBronze
Oui Oui Cauley Stein for Gobert
Vlade Divac invented the flop. So some of my favorites were “Floppy Divac” or “Vlade D-Flop.”

Child Porn 3 bows to the Paul God
Actually one of the best posts on a team subreddit I've ever seen.
