NBA Humor: 10 NBA Nicknames That Will Take the Nation By Storm

The NBA is a star-driven league, and with the stars come star-studded nicknames (i.e. "King James," "The Black Mamba" and "Jesus Shuttleworth").

Eric Gordon looks like a mouse.  More often than not, he goes strong to the hoop and gets an "and-one."  But watch out, if he does not get the call, he might get a little upset with you.
