The man Pistons fans affectionately call Joe D. is still known by his childhood nickname back home in Natchitoches, LA. Are you ready for this? “Boobie” Dumars. No, seriously. (Hat-tip: Need4Sheed)

I’ll take this Boobie over the Gibson one any day.
I’m going to pretend I didn’t read this.
Ditto Birdman.
I remember reading about that in an old Mitch Albom article from Joe’s playing days. It was an interesting article about his upbringing–I’ll have to see if I can find a link. I read it before I’d ever heard of a certain Cavalier, and when I did, I kind of put the nickname out of my mind. Like everyone else, I’d really rather not associate the two.
