Hoops FolkLore: Why Erik is spelled with a "k"

This week's craziest stat is not entirely scientific, just observed over a long time.  For some strange reason, Erik has more kicks of the ball while playing defense than everyone else in the gym combined.

Maybe he is some sort of Hockey goalie savant, (notice I didn't say "Soccer" because we live in America) or maybe his brain is wired in such a way so that he uses his legs and feet when most human beings would be reaching with their arms and legs.  Whatever the reason, if you pay attention for a few sessions, you'll find it to be true.  I've discussed it with him and he is definitely aware.

So, it makes sense now that you know that "Erik" is really an acronym that stands for Every Reflex Is Kick.
