Anybody have a favorite nickname for an athlete? I think the all time GOAT is the "Figjam" (frick I'm good, just ask me) moniker for Phil Mickelson circa early 2000s. Crazy to think how hated he was back in those days.

Terrible and funny nicknames also welcomed.

My favorite was always Irvin Johnson's "Magic".


From Wiki:
quote:

Johnson was first dubbed "Magic" as a 15-year-old sophomore playing for Everett High School, when he recorded a triple-double of 36 points, 18 rebounds and 16 assists.[3] After the game, Fred Stabley Jr., a sports writer for the Lansing State Journal, gave him the moniker[20] despite the belief of Johnson's mother, a Christian, that the name was sacrilegious.[3]
