Ok I'll stop, but my point is they are all nicknames for great players. But Kobe hasnt aquired one yet. Why is that? Some other great players never really had nicknames either. Pippen never really had one, Ewing never really had one, Stockton doesnt have one, Nash and Finley outside of "Fin" which is about as imaginative as "Pip" was for Pippen.
Wonder why these players miss out on cool nicknames.
