Ranking: The players with the most nicknames in NBA history

There are many things we like about Basketball Reference, but one of our favorites is the work they put into compiling nicknames (some popular, some very obscure) for NBA players throughout history.

We investigated which ones have the most.

At No. 1 on the list, you will see Sixers legend Darryl Dawkins, though he kind of cheated by creating many of his nicknames himself. Among active players, LeBron James leads with nine nicknames. Ben Simmons follows closely behind with eight.
