It’s a real shame that one of my greatest nickname creations has to be wasted on a player like Reggie “Ock and Bull Torture” Bullock. I’m sure if you put him in my pickup games he’d dominate like no other (if he could pry the ball away from that dude who NEVER passes), but in the NBA, he’s pretty lackluster, and he’s taking one of my best nicknames and not even using it effectively. That nickname could be used for someone good, like Ricky Rubio or something, but no.
I shouldn’t be overly hard on Ock and Bull Torture. He’s still in the league, somehow, four years after getting drafted. That alone means something. I don’t what, but definitely something. When teams keep bringing you back even though you haven’t shown much of anything, the word I’m looking for is potential. Potential to not suck in the future, that’s what Bullock has.
