THANKS TO a fumble by closed captioning and a tweet that went viral, new Sixers guard Nik Stauskas has had a wonderfully catchy nickname since March.
Call him "Sauce Castillo."
Andrew Unterberger was watching the Kings-Sixers game on March 24 when Stauskas hit a seemingly routine three-pointer in the second quarter with Sixers announcer Marc Zumoff at the mic. That's when Unterberger, a Lower Merion native who lives in Queens, made the following observation.
"My closed captioning just referred to Nik Stauskas as "Sauce Castillo" and I will never be able to not call him this again," Unterberger tweeted.
