Default Greatest athletes without a nickname

Did Bill Russell have one, not that I know of? Jim Brown?

Did Jim Thorpe have a nickname? I don't consider "world's greatest athlete" to really be a nickname, but I suppose some folks do.

I've seen Bill Russell as "Russ"; Jim Brown as "First Down" Jim Brown, and for the nit pickers, "Technically Jim is James Nathaniel Brown's "nickname."

Looks like there's a nickname website for everything under the sun, including "Sports."
