Petteri gets a nickname

It's been far too long since I last blogged. Not a lot of exciting stuff has come and gone. But there's been some tidbits.

Greg's rehab has us all atwitter to see what he can do next season.
Bill Bayno getting a much deserved head coaching job at Loyola Marymount.
The draft day excitement of dumping Jarret Jack for Jerryd Bayless.

All rather pedestrian compared to what I think is the most exciting news of the year. Due to his late game heroics against the Washington Wizards in last night's Summer league game he has had the nickname "the Finnisher" bestowed upon him.

I added it to the NBA section of his Wikipedia page.

Let's see how long it is before someone labels it as patent nonsense.

Also Jerryd Bayless didn't have a bad game either. But it wasn't nickname worthy like the Finnisher's game was.
