I've spent an endless amount of time just trying to figure out where he got the nickname, but can't dig up anything more than the fact that his mom gave it to him. This is one of my favorite nicknames in the NBA, because it seemingly makes no sense, but it fits him perfectly. I mean, if ever there was a guy to be named Z-Bo, doesn't Zach Randolph look like he's it.
The only thing I've found as to why he is called Z-Bo is from forums and chats that say he had a friend who was giving out nicknames one day and decided that he should be called Z-Bo. The original interview with Randolph is on the Blazers official website, and because of the lockout they've taken down all information on players, so use that information how you will. This nickname absolutely cracks me up because I don't understand it at all, but I remember the first time I heard it.
Back when the Cavs and Wizards had a bit of a rivalry going on I don't know how much of a rivalry it was when the Cavs were continually whipping them , Eddie Jordan did an interview talking about how he was planning on adding "Tough Juice" into their lineup.
I had no clue what that meant. I later found out that he was referring to Caron Butler, but I still have no clue the reason for calling him "Tough Juice" besides the fact that he's a tough player. It pains me that the two most well-known people in sports nicknamed "The Machine" are Albert Pujols and Sasha Vujacic. One guy is a home run-mashing juggernaut of a baseball player and the other is spindly little Sasha Vujacic.
With Vujacic, you either love him or you hate him, and if you love him you love the fact that he is nicknamed The Machine. Jason Williams is hanging onto the league by a thread. He officially retired in April, but I've got to include White Chocolate as an homage to white guys breaking stereotypes about us in basketball. Besides, he'll probably end up signing a veteran minimum contract with the Heat in a month.
Williams was given the nickname by a Sacramento Kings media relations assistant back when he was a rookie for his flashy style of play and his sweet game and his whiteness I suppose. It's not as easy to see anymore because he is getting up there in age, but back when he was a younger fellow, Shawn Marion was one of the most athletic players in the league.
He could do things that almost nobody else in the league could do, and he did them in such a way that just made it look impossible. Marion came into the league around the time that The Matrix was taking the world by storm, so the nickname was thrown at him and it stuck.
I ragged on Kobe Bryant's nickname earlier on, but truthfully I think it's a pretty good nickname. It fits him well. That's the kind of basketball precision I want to have. I love nicknames in other languages, it sound so much more natural and makes the player seem more mysterious. What's the biggest reason he's nicknamed Il Mago, well I'm not sure but I have a theory about how he is able to disappear completely on defense. It was given to him in the city of Cleveland, of course endearing him to the city as the next Rick Vaughn, who everyone in the city loves even though he was a character in Major League.
When you watch Varejao plays it's obvious why he got the nickname, he flys around the court with his hair streaking behind him playing with all the intensity of a Rick Vaughn fastball, and early on all the unpredictability of one as well. LeBron James was given a few nicknames while in Cleveland, a few of them don't work anymore and a few of them I never liked in the first place.
The Akron Hammer can't really be used now that the entire state of Ohio is holding a grudge against him and King James has always bothered me. Yes, Stoudemire's has overcome serious knee injuries early in his career to perform at an All-Star level at least on offense. However, STAT's reputation has also been pocked with several instances of glaring immaturity. In April , Stoudemire punched a glass fire extinguisher case after a frustrating playoff loss against the Miami Heat.
His behavior resulted in a one-game suspension. Two months later, Stoudemire called a fan a homosexual epithet on Twitter in reaction to the fan's admonishment that STAT show up in game-shape when the regular season begins.
