Last nite ESPN classic had old Lakers-76ers series. Dr J. in his prime was so smooth. Nobody like him since.

Not saying there have not been better players, IM not gonna mess with Mike, but Dr. J just flowed smooth, very fluid, very graceful.

How bout "the Worm", "Pistol Pete"

But the most unfamous nickname in basketball that was later changed?

Original name was "The Hick from French Lick" What Nickname was given as replacement

Any takers ?
