In the moment he coined one of basketball's best-known nicknames, Troy Machir was on the couch eating Fritos.
If you've ever referred to new Thunder forward Doug McDermott as “Dougie McBuckets” — and if you're a hoops fan, chances are you have — you can thank Machir.
These days he works at CSNMid-Atlantic, but back in 2013, Machir was a college basketball blogger at NBCSports.com. During a hoops marathon with fellow blogger and former roommate Rob Dauster, Machir found himself ranting about “Dougie Fresh,” the moniker some fans had adopted for McDermott, then a junior at Creighton.
