"Magic" - so fitting, so few people called him his real name
"Black Jesus" - "Black Magic" wasn't good enough. Earl was Jesus on the court
"Matrix" - don't have to like the player, but that nickname is sick
"Chocolate Thunder" - that's a sexy nickname
Kenny "Sky" Walker - it's just perfect to have that last name and then win the slam dunk contest

Magic is #1 and the Wilt the Stilt was always a favorite. Air for Michael was very fitting too especially in his young days.

who the hell is that...? Rebounds a lot, rodman? Wait round... that means fat... Oh yeah. Charles Barkley...

Black Mamba? That sounds like nickname someone would give to themselves. Is that Kobe?

"Black Mamba" is one of the sicker monikers but would have to be excluded from consideration because you shouldn't be allowed to make up your own nickname.

World B. Free (even though that's his legal name, I think)

I'm pretty sure he changed it to be his legal name, so technically, it was a nickname first.
