John Eales had a great nickname:

Nobody.

As in, "nobody's perfect".

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.
