I'm pretty sure this is the BB, and I'm pretty sure I need to replace the entire crankset before it explodorzes. It's nothing TOO major, but does get annoying when I'm trying to slow down and that couple cm of play comes in before I can slow down my rear wheel.
Actually, how bad is this? I honestly don't know myself.

For a crankset to "jiggle a couple of centimeters" it would have to be falling off, but seeing as you say that it is apparent when you're trying to slow down, I wonder if the problem you're experiencing is in fact a loose lock ring and you are destroying the threading on your hub.
