Wilton Norman Chamberlain, commonly known as Wilt Chamberlain (August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) was a former National Basketball Association basketball player. Known as Wilt the Stilt (a nickname he hated) or The Big Dipper, he is regarded as one of the greatest and most dominant basketball players of all time for the incredible statistical achievements he attained throughout his playing career.

HOUSTON ROCKETS\nmainly because of T-Mac

No way in hell.  It doesn't even seem like they're as good as their record says.  Jeff Van Gundy's got a real mess on his hands.  T-Mac can't do it himself (when he's not injured).

It can't be Dirk as you said because that photo looks bald plus Dirk drives more standing up.\n\nI think it's Tracy McGrady. T-Mac drives and dribbles exactly like that. But his head isn't really shaped like that...\n\nIt can't be Steve Nash because his hair would be sticking out at least a little. But then again that does look like Steve when he's about to make a pass...\n\nIt can't be LeBron because he wears a headband and I don't see a headband sticking out in that photo.\n\nI would say Chauncy because his head is shaped like that but he dribbles NOTHING like that. He always has good fundamental dribbling.\n\nCONCLUSION: I'll take a wild guess and say it's Steve Nash because of his back to back MVPs and the photo looking like his exact passing motion when he's driving.

The worst nickname?  Well, there was Choo-Choo Coleman, who didn't have any idea where he picked the name up, but I would have to agree with "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy.  And I remember David Letterman picking on Mookie Wilson.\n\nBest?  "Teddy Ballgame" (Ted Williams) says it all, but my choice would be "Li'l Abner", taken from the now-defunct comic strip, which was applied to Ron Swoboda.\n\nIncidentally, Mickey Mantle's given name was Mickey.  He was named for Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane.\n\nOther great names:  The Big Train (Walther Johnson), Meal Ticket (Carl Hubbell), The Iron Horse (Lou Gehrig), The Barber (Sal Maglie, so called because of he pitched batters close and inside), The Ol' Perfessor (Casey Stengel), Stan "The Man" Musial (he earned it), Yogi Berra, "Say Hey" (Willie Mays), "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio, The Vulture (Phil Regan), Blue Moon Odom, Mudcat Grant, The Wizard of Oz (Ozzie Smith) and Charlie Hustle (Pete Rose).\n\nPaul Waner and his brother Lloyd were known as "Big Poison" and "Little Poison" respectively.  Another brother act was Jerome "Dizzy" Dean and his brother Paul, nicknamed "Daffy."\n\nBob Feller was known as "Rapid Robert" and Tom Seaver was "Tom Terrific."  Nolan Ryan did not have a nickname, but his fastball was called "Von Ryan's Express" after a contemporary movie; later the "Von" was dropped.\n\nPumpsie Green (his given name was Elijah Jerry Green) was the first black player for the Boston Red Sox.  He received the nickname name as a child from his mother.\n\nA recent one, no longer applicable, is "Steady" Eddie Guardado.\n\nConnie Mack is entirely a nickname: he was Cornelius McGillicuddy.  And let us not forget Mark "the Bird" Fydritch (probably from "queer as a bird," meaning "wacky") or "Mr. October (Reggie Jackson).\n\n"Papi" in its various forms is a Spanish term of respect for a beloved elder (also equivalent to "Daddy") and has been applied to several Hispanic players, such as Edgar Martinez.\n\nYankee Stadium is still called "The House that Ruth Built," and the original Washington Senators used the nickname instead of their formal name, which was the Nationals.  The Senators were often described as "first in war, first in peace and last in the American League."  Casey Stengel was the first to call the Mets "Amazing".\n\nAnd that's the tip of the iceberg.

Well, there are a couple of hot dudes in the NBA right now but if I had to name only one, it would have to be Mr. Michael Redd. If I'm not mistaken, he's leading the league in scoring right now and he has a 57 point game on the season. \n\nThe dude that has the shivers in my mind is T-Mac! Plain is simple, McGrady is too freakin' talented to be putting up 18 ppg. Seriously, Houston doesn't have such an offensive punch that Mac AND Yao can't both average high 20's!

They were on the Toronto Raptors together at one time. McGrady was still a very young player and was over shadowed by Carter's success. When he went to the Magic, he had his own stage and became a great player.

Its the Lakers and Kobe fault. KOBE suppose to be the MVP. Mr. 81 points man. THe superstar. They choke badly. They been beating the Suns all that time and couldn't keep it up come on. Its manly Kobe to blame. You the MVP of the team, you suppose to take the over the game when the team is in that big hole. Thats what great players do. And people calling him the next JORDAN or better than Jordan. PLEASE. T-Mac and the Rockets last year was down by over 10 points. T-Mac took over and score 13 points in 35 seconds AGAINST THE SPURS. SUNS dont play defense. He had over 7 minutes to make a big comeback. KOBE know his team wasn't hitting nothing so he should've taken over like great players do. Like Bird, MJ, T-Mac, AI, Magic, Oscar, Hakeem. Good LORD,  Anthony Johnson, took over for the Pacers to try and stay alive in the playoffs. Yeah they lost but you got to admire that he did was trying to pull off a victory.

I say Kobe whether you're comparing him to T-Mac or anyone else currently in the NBA. I'll assume that you were comparing him to McGrady, so I'll work with that. I feel that McGrady is a more fluid scorer. He just makes it look so easy. Obviously, Kobe is a great scorer, also, but Kobe has to work much harder to get his points. McGrady scores so easily that it looks like he's not even trying sometimes. Kobe is always stutter-stepping, crossing over, spinning, pump faking, basically always working hard to get a shot off. I think T-Mac's height, length, and better jumper give him a more clear advantage over most of his defenders. Overall though, Kobe has a huge advantage. McGrady isn't much of a defender. He has the ability, but doesn't seem to have the desire to defend. For anyone that calls Kobe a ball hog, but praises McGrady for "team" play. Kobe's career assist average is higher than McGrady's. Before you say "it's b/c he had Shaq", Kobe averaged 6.0 assists in his first season w/o Shaq, while T-Mac averaged 5.7 assists in his first season with Yao. Kobe's all-around game is superior to McGrady's. When I think of team play, I factor in defense as a major factor. So, I think Kobe is the better player.
