Jaimoe Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Another famous nickname:Cedrick "Cornbread" Maxwell (of the Celtics cira 1977-85).So what if this is from college: The original Twin Towers were: Akeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson from the Phi Slamma Jamma Houston Cougars - one of the best nicknames for a team ever.

Jaimoe Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) And another college one for my fellow Syracuse Orangemen fans: Tony "Red" Bruin. Too bad his life hasn't turned out well since his graduation in the early 80's. Edited August 10, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
