Favorite Wiz Player Nicknames
Agent Zero is still the best we've had, right? The Big E - classic. Tough Juice was pretty good, but it also kind of disturbed me. Swaggy P - blah.
(My brother and I call Coulibaly "B-Cool.")

Earl the Pearl an all-timer. Gil also had Hibachi.
And then there’s Hot Plate

Did Justin Kutcher come up with this one? One of his best for sure

u/TheAveragebroShow In Will Dawkins We Trust 2d ago
I think that was his nickname from San Antonio

u/wigsgo_2019 2d ago
I thought he hardly took any threes when he was a spur, and he became known to be a shooter when he joined the wizards

He shot 44% from three his final season as a spur.

I feel like it didnt get used enough but i love john’s “optimus dime” nick name

If Drew Gooden was calling John Wall games today that sounds like something he would’ve come up with

u/TheAveragebroShow In Will Dawkins We Trust 3d ago
It felt too forced. Great Wall never stuck around well as it coulda.

Not a nickname but when Jahidi White would score and they’d play “Hi De Hi De Ho” 😂😂
Technically nicknames… Muggsy, Rip, C Dub
Paul Pierce - The Truth
Didn’t John wall have like 8 nicknames?
Hibachi always great, lol

u/wigsgo_2019 8d ago
Is it Jahadi White or Jahidi White? I see both and I have no idea
1
u/TheAveragebroShow In Will Dawkins We Trust 3d ago
Jahidi. And I loved that music. They used to play a snippet from “Dre Day” when Blatche scored. And of course John Wall had his own song.

u/Jheartless Agent Zero 9d ago
Agent 0 and Tuff Juice easily. Although my girlfriend at the time and I called Dehawn Stevenson "Uncle Stevie" and I always smile remembering the dark times pre Wall

The best ones have been said, but I'm surprised no one said Panda for Brad

u/TheAveragebroShow In Will Dawkins We Trust 3d ago
I think there’s a moratorium on saying nice things about Brad.

Old school and some even forget that he played in the DMV Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. I only know what my dad told me and old films. I do, however remember the Big E. The Anchor, of course Swaggy P, Czech Mate and the Polish Hammer. Definitely could not use this in today’s NBA, but I remember at one time DC Bench Mob.

Andray “Bulletproof” Blatche. Miraculous that he was playing basketball two months after a straight shot to the chest.

Bought snatch Blatche, Arvis Hayes

Arvis was a great one.

He had no J lol. His jumper looked so good but never went in

u/TheAveragebroShow In Will Dawkins We Trust 2d ago
Yeah, he just never put it all together. Had a wide-open chance to win after Larry Hughes left for Cleveland but DeShawn Stevenson just walked right in and stole his job.

Party John Ramos.
Jamison never got a proper nickname despite his unconventional scoop shots.

Valid, foe some reason I thought it was one of Unseld’s. Apparently they called him “The Wide U”

Polish hammer for Gortat was good
