In Spain there was a commentarist called Andres Montes (RIP) that did the NBA for years and he gave the players the funniest nicknames ever, but most of them were in Spanish. He called Rodman Cruela de Vil, and singed the theme everytime LOL


I wonder if it was the same guy that nicknamed Tkachenko a "Sad Mammoth"?
