the only person that referred to shaq as the big aristotle was shaq himself, so that hardly qualifies as a nickname. the only one in OP's top 5 that was an actual nickname was white chocolate. people never talked about vince carter saying "did you see half man, half amazing yesterday?" it was just a superlative thrown in.
an actual nickname is something like Flash for D-Wade
and who the ever called arenas hibachi
Flash is pretty good, I would have put that in the top 5 in hindsight.
