Hoosier Players Past & Present Nicknames???

[JSHoosier 22,212]

All of my funny ones are for our current coach which I don't want to derail this thread and get a lot of us upset on a Friday morning.

Splendid Splinter...Jimmy Rayl. I never got to see him play but he was 20+ career scorer and 56 point single game record done twice.

Big Mac...George McGinnes. The first "one and done" although he was at IU two years. Freshmen didn't have eligibility then and he took a hardship after his soph year. I can't remember seeing him in high school or college but what he did to Kentucky allstars will never be repeated. Something like 50 points 30 rebounds.

Rayl scored 56 points long before the 3 point line.  That's impressive.

not a player, but The General is pretty good.

Kelvin Sampson = Cellvin Samscum....

 

again, not a player, but fun none the less...

We used to call Mike Davis Mr. Ed for the face he made when he would scream at the refs.  Always used to imagine he sounded like him, too.
