Dwyane Wade

"WOW" and "Flash"

In his second game playing under his self-proclaimed new nickname -- WOW (World of Wade) -- Dwyane Wade scored a season-high 39 points as the Miami Heat won 141-129 in double overtime over Sacramento. Wade also tied a career best with 19 field goals under the new moniker, which teammate LeBron James says is corny. Whether WOW will become as popular as these other NBA nicknames -- and we have our doubts -- only time will tell.
