A closed-captioning error might turn out to be the best thing that could've happened to Nik Stauskas's career.
The struggling Sacramento Kings rookie was toiling in obscurity before the inimitable nickname "Sauce Castillo" was fortuitously bestowed upon him, and since then his stock has taken off.
Earlier this month, the Kings hosted Sauce Castillo Night, in which they offered bottles of hot sauce as free fan giveaways.
Capitalizing on the remarkable surge of his nascent brand, the accidental entrepreneur is taking the bit to its logical conclusion, partnering with Japanese condiment producer Musahi Foods to create his own signature sauce.

Not that that's stopped his teammates from treating him like any other rookie.
