How about the Mountain Mamba!!!

Seemed like the first part of the year Perry was getting more pt but Noah has come on strong. He has a good shot under pressure.

Holler Baller is absolutely FANTASTIC!

yeah may be better and a little more original. Mountain Mamba is good but kinda has West Virginia connotation

Noah is FEARLESS!!!!

He is a PLAYER!!! He needs MORE PT!!

Got hairy late but we executed to perfection the last 4 minutes, beautiful basketball by Noah.

Cal's biggest flaw. Could not just adjust to the pulse of the program. You can't win with a whole team of Perry and Noah, but you have to be smart enough to know they can contribute. How many kids sitting on his bench better than these two kid?

I've watched Noah since the third grade playing against my kid. He was always a head taller and stronger than anyone on the floor. When Noah became a senior he was still a head taller and stronger that anyone on the floor. You don't get too many kids like that. You always expect to catch up.

Mountain Mamba is Gold. GOLD!!!!

The best soup in the city, Jerry! The best!

Why do you find it cringy? Because the actual Mamba died when his helicopter crashed into a mountain?

I guess that makes Kobe the original Mountain Mamba?
It’s not original and has a redneck connotation.

As someone from the mountains of EKY, I approve! And the people in his hometown love it. Everyone from the mountains take pride in being from the mountains, except the few pretentious ones who thought going to EKU or Berea suddenly made them “educated city folk”.

Noah looks so natural when he plays and shoots he does not force anything the guy looks somewhat like Reed from last year.

Well, if it helps with this discussion, in the post-game interview last night, when Brea and Almonor were asked if they would pick Mountain Mamba vs Holler Baller, they both said "Mountain Mamba".

Their takes were very complimentary b/c they said the were big fans of the original Mamba, and they said Noah has a little Mamba in him AND the mountain part paying tribute to his roots. These are both New York kids, so maybe it isn't too redneck or cringy.

Noah also said he and his family friends are having fun with it.

So, maybe these things will help make it a little more fun/acceptable.
