Having fun with TNT’s “team roles”

We mentioned those “team roles” that TNT lists for each player (i.e., Rip Hamilton is Detroit’s “Efficient Scorer,” Jamaal Magliore is Milwaukee’s “Space Eater”) in our real-time recap for Sunday’s game. Tas Melas over at The Basketball Jones also thought they were a little odd, and he decided he’d list his own roles for the Pistons:

Rasheed Wallace:
Will Bark Like Dog Until He’s T’d Up

Antonio McDyess:
So McNice You’ll Invite Him To Breakfast

What team roles do you think TNT should list?
Throw out some ideas in the comments.

    I think we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention former Piston Darko Milicic, “Human Victory Cigar.”
