Ben "Benji" Wilson

Pee Wee Kirkland?

Edit: Nah it ain't the same. But I really did think his real name was Pee Wee for a long ass time.

I think only Magic and Dr. J are the ones that have completely replaced an athletes given name. I remember in the 90's it came close with MJ everybody calling him Air Jordan but it never quite got to that level....


But I've never really heard anybody call Dr. J just "Julius". It's always Dr. J

Imagine that today

What's surprising about it? My cousin was on an NFL practice squad a couple years ago. His nickname from childhood followed him to college and the pros. Even when he was in the papers they called him by his nickname.
