NBA
- Honorable Mention - AK-47 (Andrei Kirilenko, Free Agent), his initials plus his jersey number plus he's Russian makes a great nickname. (Plus the NBA has a terrible selection of nicknames to choose from.)
- Bronze - The Jambulance (Blake Griffin, LA Clippers), this one actually made me laugh when I saw it.
- Silver - Big Baby (Glen Davis, Orlando), it's funny because he is so large.
- Gold - The Black Mamba (Kobe Bryant, LA Lakers), did you know he gave this nickname to himself? I find that hilarious.
MLB
- Honorable Mention - Greek God of Walks (Kevin Youkilis, Chicago White Sox) and The Big Donkey (Adam Dunn, Chicago White Sox), they are teammates and both names make me smile.
- Bronze - Fat Elvis (Lance Berkman, St. Louis), come on, that's just funny.
- Silver - Kung Fu Panda (Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco), an original and amusing nickname.
- Gold - El Chupacabra (Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee), this one isn't funny until you find out what it means in English, it translates to 'The Goatsucker'. How hilarious is that?
NFL
- Honorable Mention - Pacman (Adam Jones, Cincinnati), another sport with some terrible nicknames, but this one made the cut b/c I didn't like any of the rest.
- Bronze - Purple Jesus (Adrian Peterson, Minnesota), the football gods would approve.
- Silver - The Law Firm (Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Cincinnati), read that guy's name and don't tell me that it doesn't sound like a law firm, another original and hilarious nickname.
- Gold - Muscle Hamster (Doug Martin, Tampa Bay), no need to explain, just funny.
