Darryl Dawkins’ name has decent alliteration. But I always loved his nickname - “Dunk You Very Much”.

...and he was on the same team as World B. Free. Throw Dr. J in there, and that must have been a play by play announcers dream team of play calls.

Favorite nicknames are:
Earvin "Magic" Johnson and strangely it turned out to be true in more than one way.
Allen "Bubba Chuck" Iverson Named my current dog Bubba Chuck.

Not sure what you mean but I saw Magic live in college. It's hard to understate how deserving of the name he was, or how revolutionary at the time it was to see a player of his size bringing up the ball, doing what he did with the ball or moving in the open floor as he did.

I also don't know what you mean about Magic...?

And is "Bubba Chuck" really Iverson's nickname? I have never heard that.

Never heard that. I thought his nickname was The Answer.

With Earvin his Johnson was also Magic. Only guy I know from back in the day that got aids and gained weight while living a long life.

During his early childhood years in Hampton, Iverson was given the nickname "Bubba Chuck". A childhood friend, Jaime Rogers, said that Iverson would always "look out for the younger kids" and that "he could teach anybody." This is a copy/paste from a google search, I have always called him that.

I live in southeastern Pennsylvania and spent a lot of time listening to Philadelphia sport-talk radio during Iverson's prime. Bubba Chuck was definitely a nickname used for Iverson, although it did seem to fade out as his career went on.
