Player nicknames have always been a must-have label for popular players, and since 2010, NBA players' nicknames seem to have differed somewhat from their previous nicknames.
Specifically, we look at the nicknames of famous players between 2000-2010, most of them are very windy, domineering, aggressive, and sound very powerful, such as: half-human and half-god, UFO, black mamba, answer, truth, demon knife, big shark, stone Buddha, wolf king, Warcraft, little giant, little emperor, flash, German chariot. Roaring Tianzun and so on, these sound very recognizable, and there is a feeling of immortal fighting.
After 2010, the nicknames of the players are: thick eyebrows, bearded, elementary school student, cousin, alphabet brother, fat tiger, small card and so on. It sounds like an elementary school student. The only emperor is still the nickname of 07 Auden, but Auden failed to bear this nickname and gave it to Embiid, strictly speaking, the Great Emperor is also a nickname that appeared 10 years ago.
In the past, great players often have their own nicknames in the NBA, such as Kobe Black Mamba, Pierce Truth, Garnett Wolf King, Wade Flash, O'Neal Shark, Duncan Stone Fo, Iverson Answer, Anthony Melon... Some of this nickname can reflect the technical characteristics of the player, some can reflect the player's personality, and some can reflect the player's court style. And most of the new NBA players in recent years do not have an exact, widely circulated nickname, such as Butler, Booker and so on, why is that?
The nickname has not disappeared, it's just that the cultural quality of the fans is now low. Truth, answers, The Flash, these are official nicknames that former fans understand; Today's stars also have official nicknames, such as Drummond nicknamed Penguin, Porzingis nicknamed Unicorn, Cousins nicknamed Boogie, Clay nicknamed Big Smoker, etc., but now the fans are Zhuang Shen, Bo Shen, Kao Shen, Tang Shen, which will give you the illusion that the player's nickname has disappeared, because they have become gods.
