We may only be just a quarter of the way through the NBA season, but Thursday's slate of games includes one colossal matchup that may be a preview of the NBA Finals

The Lakers are in Milwaukee to take on the Bucks, with both teams currently sporting an astounding 24-4 overall record. Each leads its respective conference, but each is also coming off a loss, meaning one of these teams will emerge from this matchup having lost consecutive games for the first time this season. Each is also led by a former Most Valuable Player, with reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo playing even better this season than last, while LeBron has shown a return to form with Anthony Davis by his side in L.A. The game tips off 8 p.m. ET on TNT. 

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. Not only are LeBron and Giannis two of the best players in the NBA, but they also have two of the best nicknames of all time. From "Pistol Pete" to "Magic" to "The Answer," the NBA has always been the league with the best nicknames. So with that in mind, how many current NBA players can you name based solely on their nicknames in five minutes?

Good luck!
