Streetballer Hot Sauce Takes Issue with Nik Stauskas' 'Sauce Castillo' Nickname

Kyle NewportApr 5, 2015

While many have fallen in love with "Sauce Castillo," streetballer Hot Sauce has a bit of an issue with Sacramento Kings rookie Nik Stauskas' new nickname.

Ever since a closed-captioning error dubbed Stauskas "Sauce Castillo," the basketball world has taken off with the moniker. It's gotten so big that the Kings are even holding "Sauce Castillo Night" on Sunday, with fans receiving a free bottle of sauce.

Well, Hot Sauce doesn't like it when people associate Stauskas' nickname with his name.

Here's what Hot Sauce had to say about the matter, via TMZ Sports:

"

Everyone knows me as Hot Sauce. 2 Chainz shouted me out in one of his verses. I've been in a Mountain Dew commercial. I've been in movies. Ballers around the league know I'd have a problem with this.

At first, I could deal with them calling him 'Sauce' ... But now that they're associating him with 'Hot Sauce??' I got a real problem.

There's only one REAL 'Hot Sauce' ... I don't know who Nik Stauskas is.

"

In other words, there is only room for one "Hot Sauce" in the basketball world.
