    Poor Brent. The Spurs are treated like rock stars in San Antonio. They're all over TV, radio, and billboards. Life in a single pro-team town isn't bad if you crank out championships every other season.

    From reading the spurs forum they call him "Bones" alot too.

    Maybe he's a Star Trek fan.

    I don't know either. I also never understood why Heman's arch nemesis was named Skeletor.

    Brent is gangsta. I remember him doing the C-Walk after he shot his turn in the 3 point contest when he was with the Sonics.

    Eric Piatkowski's wife gave Barry that nickname during Barry's rookie year because he's long and knows how to penetrate.

    Shaquille O'Neal's nickname "Shaq" confuses me as well.
