Marek Dolezaj

[creatorsgam]

The Butcher of Bratislava.


Bonus: If they give him #53 we can just call him BB-8 for short.

Get him to grow out a wicked handlebar like this Butcher, and I'm sold on the nickname.

Maybe "Uh", as in the noise Butthead used to make often.

Also as in 'Marek "Uh" Dolezaj, as he might be called in the old school Sports Center days. It may make him feel more at home, like one of us, here in the Great Babylon.

As long as no poster uses their custom title to put "Sexual" in front of the nickname, like someone did for Thickburger, I'll likely be more accepting.

Anyhow, I have a photo that has the name, and yeah, I've got a real thickburger for ya in it too. Ive not yet determined what team is on the tube behind him.

MD > Doctor > Doctor Dolezaj > Dr. D > Dr. Doom (with the added bonus that the original Dr. Doom was also from a small Central European nation)

Nerd Alert!

My gold standard for European basketball is Detlef Schrempf.

Watching Dolezaj he isn't as big as Schrempf but his game reminds me of Detlef. He passes the ball, rebounds, decent not great shooter.

I think Schremph was a bit older. Plus, it seems that Marek was getting better as his season went on. I'm not saying that he will be as good as Schremph but I think this kid will be a good shooter for us. the rumor is that when he visited, the coaches thought he was a much better shooter than they thought.

 

[CaptainJ]

As a names guy, I say Detlef Schrempf is the clear winner.

I loved when Bill Walton used to call Detlef Schrempf NBA games on NBC.

Walton loved Schrempf like he was the greatest player of alltime. It was hilarious.

I'm sure we did our homework on this...hopefully everything goes smoothly with no hiccups

 

[Flacusian]

He he could easily be gone after one year to go pro back home. There are no guarantees he will be at SU very long.

Uh...Nyet

Man, I wish I had seen one of them! That was back before I knew what a broadcasting legend Walton was. If anyone has one of those recorded somewhere, I will pay good cash, American.

Here is "Bill Walton" on Detlef Schrempf...

Walton and Snapper Jones were great together. I remember one time Walton said Detlef has amazing low post moves for a little guy. Jones replied I guess if you consider someone who is 6'9" little. He then replied with disdain, Snapper anyone under 7 feet is small. It was hilarious.

Yeah, he clearly can't break through a wall like Paul Harris. But, I bet he could jump over one. A real high one.
