From the Celtics sites I've been (pretty much just this site and Celtics.com (they have a great, POSITIVE game chat). Only recently have I added Celticslife), the front runners are:

Iron Man (from his Celtic teammates)
Hulk
Uncle Jeff (which was his nickname in his Thunder days)

I think he really earned the superhero names tonight, especially Iron Man (which, as somebody pointed out, is a very apt nickname).

We actually have reasons for giving him a nickname now...

"Holy Jeff Green, Super 8, the Leprechaun is with the. We kiss thy Green Lantern at the alter and bathe in the Greenious that holds thy Magic 8 Ball. You were traded for our sins of dominating in 2008, but we realize it was a sacrifice for the championship and you have returned and have dawned the number 8 to remind us of your Glory.



Amen"

Uncle Jeff is his nickname. It's a done deal; he is unavailable for nicknaming. New nicknames never stick, and they are usually just annoying. Case in point, anything Shaq ever tried to call himself, anything Big Baby ever tried to call himself. The other thing, though, is that it actually fits. Jeff Green is a quiet, stoic type, a solid dude in the background that is always there. The uncle thing works.

It is also too late to rename Steez, Jet, the Truth, Jesus Shuttlesworth/Ray-Ray, the Big Ticket (ugh... worst nickname ever), Big Baby, Perk, Nate the Great, Starbury, Hump, No-Pass Bass, or Crash.

You could try with Vitor, but I don't think anyone's coming up with anything better than El Hombre Indestructible. That's on the fast track to being one of the coolest nicknames of all time.

If you want to nickname Sullinger, you might be able to get in there before "Sully" is cemented. It seems inevitable, though  (sorry, Smokey the Swag Bear). Likewise, KO seems inevitable (what about Sunshine you guys?! It's totally a reference to sports movie and not racist in any way!).

Angry Bird never really caught on, and pit bull never will either... so Avery Bradley is still available.

Courtney Lee has no nickname, but that's because he never did anything you wanted to nickname him for.

Rajon Rondo has no nickname, which is kind of amazing. People have tried for years, and they all seem to suck.

My vote is for Mean Green
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

lol...

His nickname should be "Fringe" cuz while he's a quality player, he'll never make an actual all-star team.

Tell the rookie NBA headcoach to make Jeff Green the number 1 offensive option and then Green's nickname will be "all-star".

With Rondo hurt, Jeff being 4th in team usage is a crime!

Our already poor offense is KILLING this team on both ends of the floor. I know the pro-tankers love this.

You realize that part of the problem is that Green only has two options when he gets the ball, right?  He can shoot it where he catches it or drive in a straight line for a layup or dunk.  That's all.  He can't really handle the ball well enough to create shots.  Unless he is going to run around picks all day to launch 3's like JJ Redick or Ray Allen, I don't really see where the extra shots are going to come from.

Alriiiight only one who voted for Envy. That one just sound's smooth and cool.

The first time I saw Jeff post up when he first came here I thought he looked like a gladiator.I have always been partial to Jeff "The Gladiator" Green. Minor allalliteration,  great word, his game is kind of predicated on him going off solitarily.

Thunderous Dunk by The Gladiator! Are you not entertained?!

If Jeff gets traded, this thread gets traded to the accompanying SB Nation Blog.
