It still blows my mind Ervin Johnson convinced the world while in college to call him.... MAGIC

But magic wasn't even known as it nickname, or a second name

He WAS MAGIC JOHNSON

And always was

Ha-ha Clinton dix the closest I've seen lately
Tyrann Mathieu showed how it's done.

If you're an elite athlete, you can take anything and attach it to yourself and people will follow suit. He had CBS commentators calling him the "honey badger" every Saturday. That's waaaaaaay beyond a simple nickname like Sugar or Magic.

If Ervin Johnson showed out a few games, which I'm sure he did, he could have just said "call me 'the urinal'" and everybody would have.
