Brian Scalabrine is an NBA player that ‘plays’ the forward position. He was selected during the second round of the 2001 NBA draft. He had horrible stats and was a non-factor in any game or team he sets foot in. 

As a joke, NBA fans will typically proclaim how great and amazing his basketball talents are, call him the ‘White Mamba,’ or propose ridiculous scenarios or trades that could involve Scalabrine.

The jokes have started since the 2008 NBA finals, being spread on mediums such as the comments section on NBA.com as well as YouTube. Fans have even called him the G.O.A.T. - that holds the meaning "Greatest Of All Time."

Brian Scalabrine was also called "The Man, The Myth, The Legend."

Over the years, his performance fueled this fire and it spread onto nearly every medium.
