Viral NCAA Basketball Star Robbie Avila Picks ‘Cream Abdul-Jabbar’ as Funniest Nickname

Robbie Avila — the goggle-wearing big man who went viral as “College Jokic” for his throwback game and elite passing — isn’t just cooking on the court … he’s racking up an all-time nickname collection.

Before March Madness truly tips off, TMZ Sports caught up with the Saint Louis star to run through the internet’s best monikers — and one stood out above the rest: “Cream Abdul-Jabbar.”

“That’s the most creative nickname I’ve ever heard,” Avila said. “It’s hilarious, I love it.”

The specs and old-school style make it hit even harder for the 6-foot-10 sensation who has the Billikens dancing into the NCAA Tournament with a 28-5 record.

“Larry Nerd” — a nod to Larry Bird from his freshman and sophomore years at Indiana State — also earned praise. Avila transferred after two seasons to Saint Louis … following his coach, Josh Schertz.

“That one’s another good one,” he said.

And how about “College Jokic”? Respectful, but not elite … even despite sharing the likeness with a three-time NBA MVP, Nikola Jokić.

“I like it because of the comparison,” Avila said, “but creativity-wise, it’s not up there.”

He’s also rocking with “Steph Blurry” (rec specs, obviously) … while “Milk Chamberlain” is making a quiet comeback.

As for the newest entry — “LeBron Frames” — even Avila’s still catching up, saying he saw it on Twitter just a few days ago.

Avila averaged 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists during his senior season … and may soon get his One Shining Moment in his first NCAA Tournament action.

No. 8 Georgia and No. 9 Saint Louis will play on Thursday at approximately 9:45 p.m. ET in Buffalo, New York … with the winner advancing to play either No. 1 Michigan or No. 16 Howard on Saturday.
