While many people debate who the best star on Team USA is, the players on the squad are debating something else: who has the greatest nickname?
Courtside Buzz shared a video on Twitter featuring multiple players from the team stating the most memorable nicknames.
“King James” for LeBron James seems to be the most popular choice, but “Chef Curry,” “Slim Reaper,” and “The Process” also got several votes for best nickname.

The number of awesome nicknames reminds fans how many special players are on the team.
Earning a moniker like this is an honor that not all NBA players receive.
James has been called King James since entering the league, while Steph Curry earned Chef Curry a few years later.
Durant has multiple nicknames, including “Slim Reaper” and “Easy Money” and he sounds like a fan of both.
Perhaps the silliest nickname was “Bamonte” for Bam Adebayo.
That was apparently given to Adebayo by JaVale McGee, who thought his full name was likely “Bamonte.”
A few stars on the team don’t have memorable nicknames yet.
Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, and Tyrese Haliburton are still waiting for theirs, for example.
In the grand scheme of things, these names don’t really matter.
What really matters is that they all play very well together and win the gold medal for America.
The Olympics are about to start and Team USA is the odds-on favorite to claim that prize, even though they have had a few tough exhibition games so far.
They play their first game this weekend and all eyes will be on King James, Chef Curry, and the rest of their squad.
