Celtics' E'Twaun Moore and the "White Mamba" suit up for Benneton Treviso

The Italian team Benneton Treviso has started their exhibtion season and some of the lockout affected NBA stars were there. And by stars we mean 2nd Round Draft pick E'Twaun Moore and ex-Celtic practice squad member player Brian Scalabrine. Moore went 8-of-9 FGs and 5-of-5 from 3-point range for 22 points in the exhibition game.

More importantly is the emergence of a new nickname for Scaly/Veal/Jackie Moon/etc: Brian "the White Mamba" Scalabrine.

One can only hope the Robert Rodriguez directed short is in post-production.

While the White Mamba scored just 6, as always the Mamba's impact doesn't necessarily show up in the boxscore, which can be seen by these action shots:



The behind the back is so smooth.
