Maybe its nostalgia for me, but the 70s/80s (especially hoops) had the best:
Dr. Dunkenstein Darryl Griffith
Microwave Vinnie Johnson
Iceman Gervin
combo: RUN TMC
Mr. Mean Larry Smith
Andrew "Boston Strangler" Toney
Many more, including the notable Clyde the Glide, Magic, Dr. J, Air Jordan, Akeem the Dream, and of course:
The Hick from French Lick (or Larry Legend, or Basketball Jesus...take your pick)
Currently I would take The Truth, but Megatron is up there too.
