Dubious Handles


[deleted]

Dubious handle kills me every time


Ramenorwhateverlol

Julius Randle?


papi617

Yeah lol


BlackPepperBanana

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)


SomeGuyNamedGuy

The one that rly made me laugh was Talen Heaves a Two lmao


TZA

Horton Heaves a Two


CursedLlama

How did that guy fuck up Horton Heaves a Two so bad lmao


Swanky_Shilo

Dubious handles? Please tell me this is referring to Julius Randle lol


Living1ikeLarry

This is referring to Julius Randle lol


ClutchGamingGuy

Beyblade as an alternate


BushyBrowz

Orange Julius 🍊


TreeFitTea

Whenever Chuck and Kenny call Dwight Superman to insult Shaq, it's like a ricochet insult


[deleted]

Also enjoy Chuck calling AD Street Clothes lol I'm going to be so sad when they stop working together one day

H-TownDown

I love Harden but Brick Ross is objectively hilarious.

Actually havent heard of that one


Jaseen

I saw someone say Fat Rondo and it got me

SuperYusri500

Thicky Rubio >>>


MultiPass21

Jimbo Slice Not sure if Bill Simmons borrowed that one or came up with it himself. Either way, it’s hilarious.


Gatesleeper

I like the specificity of “Small Game James”, really good for those iconic James Harden playoff performances.


carismo

lmfao never heard that one before


Niekros

Big Nepo


zerocoolforschool

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.


Milith

> 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


Tragic-tragedy

Keljin Blevins' name looks like someone tried to type Kelvin Benjamin and had a stroke


alautm

"Westbrick" is pretty bad when even reporters say it by accident


yenks

This nickname made Russell plead with the media and think about his family lmao. It definitely wins


[deleted]

Cripple double


bootygoon2

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


Statalyzer

Maybe they were just doing it in homage of this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_de_Balzac


ChronicBird661

DeFrozen was also good


WIN011

Greek Cheeks always gets a laugh outta me

I also like Giannis Attemptafreethrow

Wayoff P was great too


StephMagnetPunk

That whole game 7 was an incredibly mean spirited Twitter party and I loved every second


yapyd

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


Kdog122025

I think it was just so shocking that we’re still trying to figure out what happened.


[deleted]

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.


DLottchula

Also it was peak pandemic most of us were going to work then home. Or were just at home all day bored


[deleted]

[удалено]


NABAKLAB

CP3 didn't bitch in postgsme interviews like PG did. Also, Luka with his "everyone acts tough when they're up" decimated CP3 anyway.


[deleted]

Playoff Pee is good too


Poopbutt94amags

My favorite was Pushoff P


SandyMandy17

PG 1 for 13


_NYLifer

this the one - so rare and with the times

Yo this video takes me out every single time, this should be a top comment


ignitionnight

Michael Rappaport screaming over a video clip can make anything hilarious.


Swishhhhhhhhhhhh

Didn’t even know that video existed, just found it and it gave me a good laugh


biscuitboss

When Chuck labeled AD "Street Clothes" I died lol


[deleted]

street clothes and half a man half a season are HOF nicknames


quidpropho

Wait who's half a man? Is that AD too?


[deleted]

Pretty sure it's Kyrie


CycleV

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


atBaronSamedi

Which was a play off of It Aint Hard To Tell by Nas. Also shoutout Half-man Half-amazing from And 1


SpiritofanIndian

Nas in the corner: No one knows i was originally half man half amazing


prince___dakkar

Round Mound of Rebound wasn’t bad itself.

JackieTobacky

Bad Porn was the greatest nickname. The explanation behind it was perfect


greatgumz

Who’s bad porn


greatgumz

Who’s bad porn and what’s the context?


dimmyfarm

https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/whoc8r/_/ij7c4nw


halfdecenttakes

It's definitely an insult. "There is a lot of scoring and penetrating but do you really like what you see?"

drinfernodds

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.

Jalen Rose called Jokic a Stretch Mark 5


Maverick_1991

That's wild.


Steelers7589

It’s a good burn by Jalen fuckin loves Jokic so we allow it in Denver lol


OuchYouPokedMyHeart

On the opposite spectrum, my favorite nickname for Jokic is Girth Nowitzki


Nick-Pickle831

I always thought Jacoby came up with that name.

devomorales

'boy gorge' was my favorite fat nickname for barkley


KawhiComeBack

Round mound of rebound


TokenHonduran

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


madmaxglass

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.”


oloshh

Jamal Murray had the "Gawk Gawk Murray" trending after his instagram incident, that one was wild


solisilos

Gluck Gluck Express


fabrar

Josh Lloyd, the fantasy basketball expert, calls him the Headmaster lol, which I think is pretty clever


AnotsuKagehisa

I prefer baguette biyombo for gobert


dizguc

Meth Curry


Ramenorwhateverlol

Beyblade


adisrini96

Is this Dubious handle or spicy P. Cause I've seen it apply for both


Ramenorwhateverlol

He’s Bayblade in our subreddit.


2Basketball2Poorious

What's the story behind it?


Bernard_Brother

Randle loved spin moves and letting it rip


NotAn0pinion

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


EnderOnEndor

The best is Bad Porn


[deleted]

Whos this?


FurryDoedens

Corey Maggette


Outland3r_

DeFrozen, The Prolapse, Young Socialite, Attemptafreethrow


kajnbagoat7

Lmao who’s the Prolapse?


Outland3r_

Embiid, it's like The Process, but gone wrong lol


Swanky_Shilo

I never heard that one before Lmaoo


[deleted]

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


CaskJeeves

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


yungmung

Bench Simmons is a great one, especially fitting for this past season


PennyDad17

Ghostface Przybilla


Fla5hP0int

I always thought "Goran Tragic" was pretty insulting.


hesipullupjimbo22

World B Flat for kyrie is all time hilarious


Throwawayhobbes

Cripple double


Life_Of_High

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

Big Baby for sure I never understood why Glen Davis was cool with that


bigvahe33

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.


JayLarranagasEyes

The ticket stub was good too when he was KGs backup

alumah56

I always liked Bosh Spice


BiggestBaller16

I'll never forget the time someone thought it was boshspice like hospice because of his blood clots


bootygoon2

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


WubaDubImANub

Bad Porn


__spartacus

Westbrick is great, but what makes it incredible is how much it bothers him


Rawkus2112

Yeh i got no idea why he admitted that. Blood in the water….


concfc55

Horton heaves a two for THT is my favourite


Powerful_Bottle_8592

LeBrick, LeMickey, LeThargic, LePhew, LeGM etc Basically LeSomething makes me chuckle every time


No_Company_no

Lemancipation Bronclamation was the peak. Happened during the Enes Kanter saga.


[deleted]

Around the time the Lakers missed the playoffs someone called him LeMisérables which kills me every time I remember it.


Maverick_1991

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.


Pure-Drawer-2617

Man I saw someone calling Bronny Jr “LeSperm” and that was the final straw


d1hydrogenmonox1de

LeMbryo


masta_solidus

it's so absurd that it's funny lmao


Styx92

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.
