That three point shot is just waiting to be developed. I also love picturing the frustration of opposing fan bases when N-Mart scores on them with some awkward-looking move, “Why can’t we stop that dorky-looking white dude!”

Absolutely. I guarantee they're saying that. Maryland had no answer for him last night, and it surely must have been frustrating for the fans.That three point shot is just waiting to be developed.

Someone asked about nicknames for Martinelli last night, and see some are calling him "Nicky Buckets" today, but what about just a standard boring classic nickname?
"Lefty Martinelli" just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
The coaches think a LOT of him. Really good to see him make a shot when he had to and break the ice. Seems otherwise he's not allowed to shoot as the coaches very gradually bring him into the game. He may not turn into Martinelli, but what if he's a kinda good shooter?
We got a lot of dorky looking white dudes.That three point shot is just waiting to be developed. I also love picturing the frustration of opposing fan bases when N-Mart scores on them with some awkward-looking move, “Why can’t we stop that dorky-looking white dude!”
He does not need a nickname. I assume we are adults not children. Just enjoy the ride.
I would’ve considered it a badge of honor. His game isn’t pretty, but he finds a way to get it done, mostly by doing all the dirty work no one else on the court wants to do. He’s a more athletic Tim Doyle. Good for him.
I think they were saying Rec League Hero in that when he's 45 and his playing career is over, he will go to the YMCA and still be able to make all the moves he was making last night. I think they meant it as a compliment.
Almost every adult I’m friends with has a nickname. Live a little. Life is short.
Agree. And I could see him doing some scoring as well. He's athletic, can rebound and I believe will find ways to get the ball in the basket. Germantown Academy, where he played basketball, is a good prep school, but Blake was home schooled.. One of my all time favorite football Wildcats, Hudhaifa Ismaili (sp?) was also home schooled. He played on the Rose Bowl team and was much lauded by Fitz, who often said he was one of the best players he ever saw.
