As a general rule, self-given nicknames in the NBA don’t stick. Kevin Durant started calling himself The Servant and Dwyane Wade proclaimed himself World of Wade, but no one refers to them by those names. Kobe’s Black Mamba is most notable of these monikers. That being said…
Hassan Whiteside has chosen his nickname: "Agent Block."

No. No. No. No. No.
Here are some possible nicknames for the Miami big man.
- Dinosaur (Thanks, Draymond)
- 2K
- Mr. Whiteside, assuming he’s a fan of The Killers
- Literally anything but “Agent Block”
If anything, these examples are a start.
