Are there other NBAers that announcers strictly call by nickname like Big Baby?

I was thinking about this last night. I can't think of any. The announcers only call him Big Baby now, or at least 90% of the time.

This obviously doesn't include Metta World Peace because that is his actual name.

Bill Walton had an interesting twist on this. Just started calling a guy on Oregon "Snoop Dogg" out of nowhere.

I never blamed Terry for going by the JET, even when I hated him with the Mavs. Those are his initial after all.

Snoop's game reminds me of Beethoven and the Age of the Romantics.
