All-Time Best NBL Nicknames

Mark "Chairman of the Boards" Davis
Darren "The Ninja" Ng
Paul "The Big Fella" Rees (might have only been at home games).
Cal "Black Pearl" Bruton (his name wasn't included earlier).
I believe Darryl "Iceman" Pearce had the nickname first.

I guess Mike "Swish" McKay was only used locally. I thought that was worth an honorable mention.

"Twin Air" was not bad either (Jason and Darren Smith). Worth of mention in prelude to the actual list.

Nicknames just don't seem to be dished out much these days and if they are they don't seem to stick.

Might be worth starting a thread on the topic- "Best nicknames for current NBL players"
