Top 10 Nicknames in Sport pt 2


8. "Chocolate Thunder" Darryl Dawkins - Normally self-titled nicknames are a big no-no, however in Darryl's case we will let that slide as he gave himself a variety of awesome nicknames back in the 70's.  Along with creating monikers like "Dr. Dunkenstein" and "Chocolate Thunder" he also named his dunks, giving the world the "Rim-Wrecker", the "Go-Rilla", and the "The Chocolate-Thunder-Flying,Robezine-Crying, Teeth-Shakin, Glass-Breaking, Rump-Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam-Glass-Breaker-I-Am-Jam". Pretty inventive for a man who claimed he was an alien from the planet Lovetron.



7. Sebastian Janikowski "Sea Bass" Yeah, I see how Sea Bass can come out of Sebastian, and how not that original that is, but it makes me think of Cam Neely in Dumb and Dumber ("kick his ass, Sea Bass!).  Also, he is a fat polish kicker, so that's funny. I always think of a fantasy draft a few years back when a friend, after picking Janikowski exclaimed "just because you have "cow" in your name doesn't mean you have to weigh as much as one."
