Sam Cassell asked about alien nickname lol..

[Jazzo]

That's some funny shit though, because back in mid 90's when he played for Houston, my pops use to call him "The Martian". That nickname stuck for him in my household. When ever we saw him on T.V. playing, "Tha Martian" would come out of someone's mouth...
