    After considering all 10, vote for the best sports nickname of all-time.

    1. "The Immaculate Reception"
    Terry Bradshaw's desperation pass deflected off Raiders safety Jack Tatum and then hit Steelers receiver Frenchy Fuqua before Franco Harris grabbed it and headed for the winning touchdown as time expired in Pittsburgh's 1972 AFC divisional playoff victory.

    2. Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch
    Perfect nickname for a Hall of Fame receiver whose left leg never knew what his right leg might do, and vice versa.

    3. "Purple People Eaters"
    Minnesota Vikings' defensive line of the 1970s.

    4. "The Chicoutimi Cu ber," Georges Vezina
    Pays respects to his hometown in Quebec and shows how calm and cool he was in the net.

    5. "Hands of Stone," Roberto Duran
    Small, fearless (at least, until the Leornard fight), he hit like a ton of bricks.

    6. "Charlie Hustle," Pete Rose
    Anyone who sprints down the first base line after drawing a base on balls deserves a nickname like Charlie Hustle.

    7. "Phi Slamma Jamma"
    University of Houston men's basketball teams of 1982-'83 and '83-'84.


    "The Great One" won four Stanley Cups while playing in Edmonton.
    8. Earvin "Magic" Johnson
    Clever, elegant, descriptive, respectful.

    9."The Great One," Wayne Gretzky
    Says it all.

    10. Michael "Air" Jordan
    One of the few who outplayed his own great nickname.
