The NBA takes a cue from the XFL
and is strongly considering putting nicknames on the backs of jerseys.

Proof that the NBA and Stern know what they are doing. Wish I could say the same for Selig. Although baseball nicknames are ridiculous. Just add a Y to someone's name. "Salvy" "Getzy" "Esky"

Great marketing. Kids are going to flock to them Mamba, KIng James, Melo, CP3 jerseys.
now is the time to strike as the NBAs popularity is on a major uprise these days. |

Where's the age cutoff where you hate this idea? I'm 34, so it's below that. Is it above 18?

Depends on the demographic in part, I would think.

Will they just be alphanumeric nicknames, or will dollar signs be allowed?

The Black Mamba is the dumbest ****ing legit nickname I've ever heard. I swear to God that Mitch Holthus put the idea in people's minds and it's just been accepted since then.

Hope the NFL does this. Peyton would look awesome with '4head' on his jersey. Or Mark Sanchez with 'El Doucherino'.

Big Ben can wear 'Therapist' on his. One will wonder if he's actually a therapist, or if it's 'the rapist'.
