    People were talking about, a basketball player maybe? His nickname was something like "two sandwiches"?

    Am I making this up?

    Yup, if I remember correctly he kept talking about the Rockets paying him in sandwiches instead of money. He'd grab a rebound and Calvin would say something like "He just got two sandwiches for that."

    Then he made the mistake of getting into it with Rudy and was never heard from again.

    It was Hamilton. I always liked him for a backup...but then he didn't hustle down a loose ball or two and Rudy fired him.
