Maxi “Klee-bah” Kleber is a nice surprise this year for the Mavericks. He’s not amazing or anything, don’t get me wrong, but he’s solid. Solid is what you want from your poops, and solid is what you want from your role players. Solidity is a good trait to have.
I’m gonna start having to use the opposing commentators when making his highlights, though, because the way these Mavericks goons pronounce “Kleber” is driving me insane. I took German in high school, I know what I’m talking about when it comes to this stuff, and they’re just making a mockery of it. Like the Toronto guys and Jakob Poeltl. Can we give these guys new, normal, American names instead of their apparently unpronounceable ones? Something easy to say like… pad. Maxi Pad. Nice. I like it.
