Guy Lafleur was and still is a bad ass. He was recently robbed by three motorcycle bandits and sucker punched in Buenos Aries and said "It was like one of the players from the Bruins, I didn't fall"

Sweet Pea Whitaker? Pass me the sugar, toots. Damn.

Chris 'birdman' Andersen
Time for the Birdman to fly (and fail the white man in the dunk contest)!!

"Larry is not an attractive man. In fact, many suggest his mother actually mated with a retarded pelican." I'm a Larry Bird fan but that is hilarious.

Errrr Larry Bird is know as Larry Legend ...thank you very much. Not too shabby of a nickname.

no "He Hate Me?!"

Sweet Pea Whitaker? Pass me the sugar, toots. Damn.

A flower?

double viking lives up to its reputation of never once submitting an article that is even slightly entertaining, interesting, or amusing. Congrats.

Might Guy Lafleur's nickname, the Flower, come from...his last name? Since his last name is French for "flower", attacking this 'nickname' is stupid.

Double Viking sucks donkey balls.

As if this "story" isn't bad enough, they have to foist a giant Witless Protection ad on us? It's official. I'm never going back.

I find that DoubleViking has a lot of article ideas I wish Cracked would write.

"One Size", the nickname for Fitz Hall (English soccer player)

That site sucks ass, why does it get dugg so much?

Not a nickname, but ... there's a brazilian football player called "Creedence Clearwater Couto" as you can see here:

This is soooo stupid.

Someone should tell the authour that LaFleur literally translates to "the Flower"

How about Daniel "Boobie" Gibson from the Cavaliers?

is it necessary to make as many gay jokes as possible in this article? i mean, come on, grow up a bit.

Rodman got his nickname from playing pinball and moving like a worm.
A useless fact I thought I would never be able to use.
Thanks Digg!

Wally "The Mayor" Sczerbiak is worse than any mentioned on the internet.

and that's a wrap.

To bad Drama / Set Construction wouldn't constitute a sport, I used to be called Chisel.

Because I cut myself opening a paint can with a chisel and needed 3 stitches.

(To this day I have no clue how I did it)

I'm surprised Jeff Hornacek's nickname wasn't on there. The Utah Jazz commentators calling him Horny was unintentional comedy at it's finest.

What about Manny "ManRam" Ramirez?

Lance "Goofi" Whitaker, the 6'7" heavyweight boxer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Whitaker

He gave himself that nickname!

#4 The Poet Laureate, “Leaping” Lanny Poffo is actually Randy "Macho Man" Savage's brother. I guess big brother got the better nickname, the success, and of course the slim jims.

Thought I'd change it up by throwing in one of the best: Andre "AK47" Kirilenko (NBA, Utah Jazz, who's number just happens to be 47).

Good thing they didnt include MMA, because if they did, all 10 of them would have been fighter names

classic nickname...George''T-Bone'' Castanza

What about "Fast" Willie Parker? That's a nickname I'd be ashamed of telling ladies at the bar.

What? No Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams?

Yeah, I heard the cries of everyone in the comments section about this guy's number one pick being The Flower Lefleur. If I had read the digg comments first, I probably wouldn't have done this, since I wouldn't have been the first, but I had to sign up for that site just to make it known. Hell, I don't even speak French!

No Dick Trickle?

larry bird's so ugly, he only had 1 illegitimate kid

I'm surprised "the big unit" didn't make the list.

This is a terrible list...

Suggests that Mark Philippoussis should be included on this list; entitled The Scud.

Larry "Grand Mama" Johnson, he even dressed up like an old lady in those old commercials.

Anthony "BOOGER" McFarland
