Shane Battier has his own NY Times article, a degree from Duke University and the body of a male model. Chuck Hayes has his own article from the Modesto Bee, attended some alleged university in Kentucky, and looks like Juggernaut from X-men rather than a basketball player. Battier is celebrated as the glue player no stats all star but Hayes is the true no stats all star. Once Hayes went down, the Rockets could not win a single game for the entire year of 2011 (alternative explanation: I was on vacation for a week, me enjoying a vacation in the sun leads to the Rockets losing because there is only a fixed amount of enjoyment in life). With all the other better known, higher paid players on the squad, maybe Hayes is the glue that holds them together. Chuck Hayes needs to hurry back because he is the true Shane Battier.
The Chuckwagon. Batman is one of my favorite comic superheroes, and its disrespectful and false advertisement(even a form of slander) for Battier to have his name as nickname.I've never called battier"Batman" and turn my head when i see outhers type it.
Battier's impact is both underestimated and overestimated. Chuck is mostly underestimated,because he is a no stats player. Battier should be able to do more with what he has, even though he is a role player.Chuck maximizes his skills.
I've been of the opinion that Chuck was the better individual and team defender and more important player to the Rockets for two seasons now.
What the... That's it! Chuck is Shane! Shane is Chuck! Chuck is a man!

I think you're a little over sensitive about the Batman nickname, but anyway, i was actually refering to Chuck's Modesto nicknames.
Chuck Hayes has conquered every obstacle in his path. During next offseason, he'll develop a corner 3 shot and grow 4 inches taller.
chuck told me "id rather be a monster than a mauler" so i told him "ok modesto mauler" it was hilarious!!!
