Dawkins bestowed nicknames on his dunks. The first backboard-shatterer was
dubbed “The Chocolate-Thunder-Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking,
Glass-Breaking, Rump-Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam,
Glass-Breaker-I-Am-Jam.” There were other nicknames
<http://armchairgm.wikia.com/wiki/Darryl_Dawkins>: “In Your Face Disgrace,”
“The Go-rilla,” “Earthquaker Shaker,” “Candyslam,” “Dunk You Very Much,”
“Look Out Below,” “Yo Mama,” “Turbo Sexophonic Delight,” “Rim Wrecker,”
“Greyhound Bus” (for when he went coast-to-coast), “Cover Your Head,”
“Spine Chiller Supreme,” “Slam Bam Thank You Ma’am” and “Walk Away From
Love.”
