Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “nickname quizzes” all over the internet, and I finally decided to give the NBA one a shot. I thought, “I know basketball, this should be easy!” Famous last words, right?
First, I started by looking for a good quiz online. I just typed in “NBA nickname quiz”. It popped up many websites, I just picked up one and opened the website. I don’t even remember the link.
The quiz started, and the first few questions were okay. I mean, “The Mailman”? Come on, that’s Karl Malone, no problem! “The Glove”? Obviously, Gary Payton. I was feeling pretty good about myself, building up some confidence.
Then, things started to get… tricky. I was running into nicknames I’d never even heard of. Some of them sounded so random! It felt like they were just making stuff up.I have tried many quiz websites, I feel exhausted. So I decided to write down the questions and answers I have tried.
- Question 1: Which player was nicknamed “The Big Ticket?”
- My Answer: Kevin Garnett
- Question 2: “The Answer” was the nickname of which NBA great?
- My Answer: Allen Iverson
- Question 3:“The Truth” was a nickname given to which player by Shaquille O’Neal?
- My Answer: Paul Pierce
It is so hard!
Honestly, it was way harder than I expected. I thought I knew my NBA nicknames, but this quiz really put me in my place. I definitely learned some new ones, though! Now I feel like I need to go study up so I can dominate the next one I try. Or maybe I’ll just stick to watching the games…we’ll see!
