Thought that this deserved it's own seperate thread from the phrases. He came up with so many great nicknames of players over the years.

Fastest of them all Rickey Green
Golden Griff Darrell Griffith
Big T Thurl Bailey
Horny
Big Mark Eaton
Little John Stockton or Stock
Smokin Mo Williams

 

[David Stern]

Slick Willy for D-Will, right?

Damn straight. Gave Deron the best nickname he could have had and then was told by the organization not to use it anymore. Obviously Deron complained. I remember hearing Hots in a game that season slipping up and saying Slick Willy, stopping himself in the middle, and then not saying anything for a good 20 seconds of air time, which in that world is an eternity. Then he came back with something that sounded like "apologies" and picked back up calling him Deron or Williams.

I thought he gave Karl Malone the mailman nickname but apparently he had that at college too.

Yeah I was thinking about that, but remembered when we drafted him Layden said, we're gonna bring a mailman!

Al McCoy already referred to Hornacek as "Horny" when he was in Phoenix.
