Those are nicknames, tbh. Whether you like it or not.

Also, if you say "Steve", you will need to explain who you are talking about. Most people won't immediately asociate Steve to Nash.
Nicknames like Magic, Manu and Shaq don't need further explanation.
well if i say Tim Duncan you know I'm actually talking about Timothy Theodore Duncan.
just because shaquille and emannuel are very uncommon names in basketball doesnt automatically turn those into nicknames. a lot of guys like kobe, lebron, dirk are instantly recognizable by their first names... but only because they're uncommon. not because they're "nicknames"

Kawhichael was great until he turned into Kawhitter
But Dirk and Kobe aren't nicknames. Shaq and Manu are.

Even if you do consider them nicknames, why would you think “Manu” or “Shaq” are all that great anyway? All they are are abbreviations of the actual names.
”Best” nicknames, right? Do you think “Steph” is a great nickname? “LMA” evoke wit or excitement? “Zo” make you go, wow, I can’t believe people took the last two letters of “Lonzo” and call him that. What a great nickname...
Clyde the Glyde

Spud Webb and penny are not that great but they are so well known people don’t really know their actually names.

Somalian pirate
Greek freak (not a huge fan but too widely used and known)
The waiter (too funny)
Ason kidd (ditto)

The Glide is a cool ass name.
I remember I had NBA live and it allowed you to make your own player, complete with a nickname that the announcer used. I was the ATM
And when it didn’t know people’s shortened names it used their whole name. So playing as the Spurs it was like
Hidayayy Turk-o-lueeeeee
Rod-o-slavvvvv Nesssssterooovichhhh
Emmannuellll Gin-o-beeee-leeee
They are iconic. You just say those nicknames and everybody knows who you are talking about.
The one other person I know named Emanuel also goes by Manu, it's an abbreviation that's very common for that name.
Why are you bent on defending this position
Nazr "Stonehands" Mohammed
He had stone hands against 28 other teams but became an offensive rebounding magnet playing against the Suns.

Nah, I'm just having fun with the people arguing my correct technicality, tbh.The one other person I know named Emanuel also goes by Manu, it's an abbreviation that's very common for that name.
