Athletes and their nicknames has always been something I particularly liked. Nicknames are fun and interesting and imaginative. For the purpose of this blog post, I thought it'd be amusing to come up with some nicknames for athletes who either don't have a nickname or their existing nickname is rather lousy.
So, without any further delay here are some nicknames that I've come up with. Enjoy.
Derrick Rose: "The Florist"
I
have to give credit to Williams for coming up with this one actually.
It's definitely one of the cheekier nicknames and one of my favorites
without question. The Florist
- it gets me every time. It's so perfect, the #1 is shaped like a rose
in a sense, the Bulls are red, and Derrick Rose is a signature franchise
player much like a rose is a signature flower. Could it be any more
beautiful?

Peyton Manning: "Patient Manning"
Manning loves to analyze the defense and put his team in the best situation possible to be successful on every play. What's funny is although Manning is patient, he is also like a doctor, surgically dissecting every opponent. Be sure to check out this YouTube video to get a sense of Manning's play calls and audibles on the field.
Check out this video, it's unreal.
Dwyane Wade: "Dwayne Wade" or "Flyash"
Depending how you look at it, Dwyane Wade should really be Dwayne Wade. Crazy huh? His common nickname is "Flash" but it isn't in correspondence with the way his real name is spelled. If we're going with Flash shouldn't it be spelled F-L-Y-A-S-H?
