He mad. Shouldn't have taken all his payments for those streetball videos in the form of And1 stock.

Too funny, the streetball legend apparently does not know much about Nik's NCAA/college game or that he was a first round pick - something that Hot Sauce was not. Another person desperately wanting his 15 minutes of fame.

Hot Sauce has been a legend in hoops circles since Stauskas was in elementary school

This comment makes me think that you probably don't know what a double-dribble is.

He kind of is, Hot Sauce was a big deal (of sorts) in the 90s when the And1 Mix Tapes were a thing.

But it is funny that he's never heard of Nik Stauskas. Stephen Curry has. And the rest of the people who play in the NBA. I'm sure more basketball fans know Stauskas than Hot Sauce at this point...

I know who he is, and he is a popular street ball guy. But a guy who couldn't ever make the NBA not hearing of a current NBA guy is laughable (basically your last point).

Ah, Streetball, the place where crazy athletic guys that don't really know how to play "basketball" go. Where you can travel and double dribble all game long and it is perfectly legal. Hot Sauce, legend-LOLOLOL

It's not like they're calling him Hot Sauce Castillo. And he didn't even give himself the nickname. Sounds like Mr. Sauce needs to get up off that high horse of his.

Didn't even know they were still around.

I thought they went the way of LA Gear, British Knights, No Fear, Big Johnson, FUBU, Wu Wear, and Starter. Nice to see they are still around.

Too many youngsters on here with no respect for street ball or the and1 days. That being said, hot sauce can chill. They're not ripping him off and Stauskas didn't name himself. He's jelly, as the kids would say (I think I used that right)

He should've trademarked ask sauce-related basketball nicknames. Poor planning Mr. Hot Sauce. Hot Sauce was popular as hell in the late 90s early 2000s iirc. Those And1 Mixtapes were ridiculously popular and I'd say he had more fame, at the time, than some NBA role players in certain circles. If you didn't watch And1 then you wouldn't know much like someone who doesn't watch basketball won't know NBA players very well. Funny though that a guy whose career is basketball doesn't know who a recent 1st round pick who had great success in college is. I call bullshit. Hot Sauce is looking for attention.

Adding that he was here first, and he'd never even heard of Stauskas before this moment. We think the argument is unnecessary. The beauty of hot sauces is that there are many, and we could never live with just one.

The beauty in hot suace is in the variety to some extent, and there is plenty of room on the planet for Hot Sauce and our own Sauce Castillo. Not sure why anyone could be upset by this really.

I mean, technically, Castillo means castle, so his name is castle sauce. It's not even the same type of sauce. It sounds like Hot Sauce is just a little jealous that he never made it to the NBA.
