I never knew if this was his real name, but World B. Free is pretty kickass.

I think most of mine have been mentioned already. But I'll add The Man Child (Shawn Kemp) and "Pretty Boy" Floyd

self appointed nickname
I don't think a person should be able to nickname themselves.

My favorite sports nickname was The Crime Dog:

Vinnie "the Microwave" Johnson. Got his nickname after scoring all of the Pistons field goals in the 4th quarter (22 pts in the 4th) when they beat the Celtics in game 4 in the 1985 NBA playoffs (they lost the series to the Celtics 4-1).

See LINK to see how NBA playoff basketball looked like in 1985 Bird, Parrish, and McHale vs Laimbeer, Dumars and Isiah Thomas.
