Yes. Rat Phunk is the nickname.

Thanks to J.E. "Candystripper" Skeets, I've successfully wasted a good 15 minutes typing in my faux name, real name and just about every friend and family's name I could come up with into the NBA.com NBA Playoffs Nickname generator.

My real name produced a much less intimidating result: Jason "Napkin" Kent. That's funny on my levels and somehow appropriate.

Let's see your nicknames - the best will ultimately get littered with many thumbs up. While we're at it, what's your favorite NBA player nickname?

Editor's note: 100% Injury Rate's NBA nickname is "The Mechanic." His real name, however, produces a nickname of "The Big Squeeze." He prefers the first nickname.

1	I am "The Air Conditioner" Must be because I am really cool. Granted I had to do it several times before getting that. I just think getting "South Dakota" wasn't that great.

1	I'm "Lashes." Splitting my Q name in half gets me "Swoopy." I think I'll go with that.

1	Mike "The Gaunlet" Kish... I'd like to thank the NBA Playoffs nickname generator for making me sound more fearsome than I ever could be.

Wait, how can there be two effing gauntlets? I thought I was the gauntlet!?! We better be playing for the same team or I am suing you for name infringement.
