What's the worst nickname ever for a Jazz player?

Not that it was particularly bad, but whenever Ricky Green used to steal the ball, the commentator would shout "Ricky Green the fastest of them all! They'll never catch him!" So maybe "The Fastest of them All" deserves honorable mention.

Hot Rod Hundley never gave a bad nickname ever. Even if it was bad before, his adoption of it made it timeless.
 
You are probably right. Now that I think about it I really do miss the good old days of Stockton, Malone, and maybe best nickname of all time, Dr. Dunkenstein.
 
Here's one from when B. Russ started getting some national attention. More a national name then local, but people outside Utah kept calling him Byron instead of Brian. When he pointed out the mistake, national commentators started calling him Brian don't call me Byron Russell. Lol
