Perusing the box score from San Antonio's 96-76 victory over Charlotte, I noticed Adam Morrison had a second straight awful performance (1-for-10), Brevin Knight played a mere 10 minutes because he was ejected, and somebody named Walter Herrmann played 16 minutes and scored six points.

Who?

I try to fancy myself a hoops connoisseur. (No kidding, back in 10th grade, I played a really nerdy game with a friend to pass time in English class: Where'd he go to college? We'd ask each other where a random NBA player went to college. Sadly, I dominated. It's also probably why I didn't get into my first college choice, but that's another story.) But the name Herrmann didn't register. His bio lists him as a 6-foot-9 forward from Argentina.

This is where google is your friend. In a short amount of time, we've learned:

* Walter Herrmann would have played for the Bobcats last month, but Visa issues got in the way.

* If you yell 'Fabio!' in his presence, chances are good he'll turn around.

* Herrmann definitely goes by the name Fabio. So says Carlos Delfino, a Pistons reserve who was roomies with Herrmann on the Argentinean National team, confirmed it.

* Herrmann's got a Spanish accent. Combine that with looks of Fabio, the 6-foot-9 height and the fact he's athletic, and he may be dating the likes of Jennifer Aniston any minute now.

* He looks like a poor man's Andres Nocioni in this video.

* If this message board is to be believed, Herrmann might just have the saddest story of an athlete we've ever written about: A car accident in June of 2003 took the lives of his mother, sister, and fiancée.

If anyone knows of a Walter Herrmann fan club, I'd like to join. I'll be rooting heavily for this kid.
