The Nigerian Nightmare (Christian Okoye)


Damn, forgot about that nickname. Too tight. Which then brings me to "Hakeem The Dream".

As for the group nicknames, I was gonna list some but didn't. Now I wanna say:

Killer Bs - Dolphins D back in the 80s when all of their starters' last names started with B

Steel Curtain - Steelers D

Orange Crush - Broncos D

Purple People Eaters - Minny's D

Showtime (You slippin', name-o! lol) - Lakers in the 80s

Then the unwanted nicknames:

Dirty Waters - Eagles DB Andre "Dirty" Waters. Then again, I think he may have liked that name.

Actually, the Lake Show was my second favorite Laker Era (of my lifetime). I didn't even love The Bling Dynasty like I loved that team of the mid-90's.

Nick At Nite (another dope nickname), Eddie Jones, Vlade Divac, George Lynch . . .

They were fun to watch and played hard. Just cculdn't get past The Admiral's Crew.

The Lake Show had so much youth and promise. Anthony Peeler...what happened to THAT cat? And damn, I forgot Nick at Nite, easily one of the top 10 nicknames ever.
