What was your nickname when you played team sports?

Face it we all had one. I never competed in an organized league, but played a couple times a week in a fairly tough pick up venue just outside of Detroit. As I was generally the tallest and didn't shave for the Sunday morning games, I picked up the handle "Vlade" after the LA Center from a couple of decades ago.

    I had a few based on the group I played with.

    Lock down. I liked to play defensive in basketball. Was tall enough to guard most positions and quick enough to guard smaller players.

    I think it was racist. To each their own.

    After I hit a shot to put my middle school team into the district playoffs, I threw the ball into the stands and started jumping up and down and screaming. This got me the nickname "Wildman" for a few years.
