The nickname is famous, and I don t know my real name. This is exactly what the five NBA players are like.

Players with nicknames in the NBA are generally not very poor in strength. After all, players who do not have fans' attention will not be keen on giving them nicknames, so from a certain perspective, stars with nicknames are generally well-known in the NBA. For example, the nicknames of the Little Emperor James, the cute god Curry and Durant are all familiar with these, and they can also be associated with the players themselves. However, there are five players in NBA history, and their nicknames are well known, but when they mention their real names, not many players know who they are. Let’s take a look at who they are!

5: Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson is a super point guard at the NBA history level. After entering the league, he can be said to be at his peak. After all, he can win the honor of the Finals MVP in his rookie season. From then on, he quickly became the team's boss with his assist ability.

Under his connection, the team's overall offense was also very smooth, and he often made some incredible passes in the game, and even his teammates couldn't react easily, so everyone gave him the nickname of Magic Johnson. Over time, everyone began to call him that, so many people forgot that his real name was Elvin Johnson. Some people were stunned for a while when they saw this name, and it was difficult to associate it with Magic Johnson. Moreover, after he retired, people often only called him Magic Johnson, and no one mentioned Elvin Johnson's name.

4: Big Z

Big Z is an old teammate during the James Cavaliers era. His real name is Zajunas Ilgoskas. This name can be said to be quite difficult to read, and it is difficult to read it once, so not many fans remember his real name, so they gave him the nickname of Big Z in order to save trouble. He was the pillar of the team in the inside line. As an All-Star center with solid basic skills, he still had a deep impression on people on the court, but he and James did not win the championship at that time.

3: Dr. J

Dr. J is the familiar dunk king Julius Irving. The huge dunk he showed in the game at that time also impressed the fans. He was also called the originator of dunks by fans. As the well-deserved best player in the NBA in the 1970s, his influence in that era can be said to be unique, but everyone habitually called him Dr. J, and they all ignored his real name Julius Irving. If this name suddenly was mentioned, many people would not remember who he was for a while, and some even think that he was a role player, but if it was Dr. J, everyone would remember it all at once.

2: The essence of human movies

The essence of human movies is Dominic Wilkins, the legend of the Hawks. At that time, he performed very well on the court, especially the wonderful dunk scenes during the game. Many people say that his playing ball is as exciting as playing a movie, and it is worth watching frame by frame, so he has the nickname of the essence of human movies. It is worth mentioning that Wilkins suffered a major injury in his career, but he was able to perform very well after a ruptured Achilles tendon, which also made many players who encountered similar injuries later take him as an example and deserve to be a star in the NBA history level.

1: White Chocolate

The nickname of white chocolate should be familiar to everyone, and many people have seen his wonderful collection of passing balls. However, almost few people know his real name Jason Williams. If you put this name with him, it is hard to remember that he is white chocolate. But even such a player, his performance on the court can be said to be very exciting. Others can score a highlight when scoring and offense, and his passing scene is also so exciting that it can score a highlight.

He almost got the ball with one person on the court and nine people panicked. Not only did the opponent not know where he was going to pass, but it was difficult for his teammates to guess his ideas. But he could use his passes to create very good offensive opportunities for his teammates. Various elbow passes and back-head passes are also emerging one after another, but behind the wonderful assists are very high mistakes. Although he was able to connect his teammates very well on the offensive end in the middle and late stages of his career, his excessively high mistakes also gradually faded out of the league.
