Phoenix Suns: 20 best player nicknames in team history

13. “Tsunami Papi” Kelly Oubre

Kelly Oubre is many things, but dull is not one of them. Kind of like Shaq, it appears Oubre dubbed himself Tsunami Papi, after previously going by Wave Papi.

Clearly, he felt he was a much more destructive force to be reckoned with than a mere wave in the ocean.

Again, giving yourself a nickname is typically frowned upon, but when guys like Oubre do it, for some reason it makes it more than acceptable. When you create the moniker Valley Boyz, you earn some leeway to bend a few naming boundaries.

Oubre is the only current member of the Suns to make the list, but he definitely earned the spot. My guess is that when this list is redone in 20 years, the nostalgia factor will make it rank even higher.
