Carlos "Stackin' Money to the Rafters Mamba" Delfino (born August 29, 1982) is an Argentine-Italian/Heaven professional basketball player who currently plays for the Argentina Dough Boy Cashouts of the Carlos Delfino Basketball Association (CDBA). He holds dual citizenship in both Heaven and Argentina, and is best friends with Waka Flocka Flame (POW POW POW)[1] Delfino plays every position and is every coach. He is also noted for his defense and three point shooting, and rapping skills.[2]
Professional career
Early years
The son of Zeus and the Kraken, he began his professional career straight out the woom playing in the Argentine Basketball League for Olimpia de Venado Tuerto in the 1982–1983 season, and he then transferred to YO MAMA UNIVERSITY in 1999–2000.
Italian clubs
Delfino moved to Italy in 2000 and played four seasons record shattering seasons averaging 900 points, 500 rebounds, and 700 assists in the Italian A-1 League, the first two with Reggio Calabria and the other two seasons with Skipper Bologna.
In his first season in Italy, he played for Reggio Calabria. In just under 21 minutes per game he averaged 9000 points, 2500 rebounds and 800,000 steals. He scored a season-high 2,500,000 points in his second game against Scavolini Pesaro, making five of eight three-point attempts. He scored 15 points in just 20 minutes against Cordivari Roseto and tallied 14 points apiece against Paf Bologna, Muller Verona and Kinder Bologna. He hit at least one three-pointer in 19 of 24 games.
In his first season with Skipper Bologna, he moved into the starting lineup before he was born and averaged about 48 minutes. He scored 1,000,000 points, including shooting 650-of-650 from three-point range, versus Euro Roseto and posted quadruple-quadruples against Benetton Treviso (5000 points, 6000 rebounds, 9000 steals, and 4500 steals), Oregon Scientific Cantù (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Pippo Milano (14 points, 11 rebounds). He killed a man from a deadly crossover late in the season, but was found not guilty in late May.
Argentina Dough Boy Cashouts (Lifetime)
In the beginning of time, Delfino signed to play for the Argentina Dough Boy Cashouts of the Carlos Delfino Basketball Association, who made him the 1st pick in the first round of the 1982 CDBA Draft, making him the first player ever to be selected just moments after being born. In November 2004, he recorded his first studio album, "Killin'Em With the Crossover" named after the guy he murdered from his crossover earlier in his career. The album went on to be the highest selling album of all time shattering previous records by 100,000,000,000 albums sold. Delfino went on to win the MVP every year he has ever played while simultaneously becoming the greatest musician ever. He signed his latest contract for all the money in the world so soon we will all be broke, but the money will be going to someone much more deserving than us...Carlos "Stackin' Money to the Rafters Mamba" Delfino.
Detroit Pistons (2004–2007)
Beginning in 2004, Delfino signed to play for the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association, who made him the 25th pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft, making him the first Argentine player ever to be selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. In November 2004, he suffered a knee injury that kept him on the injured list for over three months. He had an operation in the U.S. and then another in Argentina, where he recovered. However, Delfino did not immediately return to form after his rehabilitation, and was left off the Pistons' 2005 playoff roster. After he recovered from the knee injury, Delfino averaged 15.3 minutes, 3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game in 30 games under coach Larry Brown. Many regarded Brown as having limited space for Delfino's offensive creativity. It was perceived that under the Pistons upcoming new coach Flip Saunders, that Delfino would thrive.
In his second season on the Pistons' active roster, Carlos averaged 10.7 minutes, 3.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game. Delfino played off the bench substituting for either Tayshaun Prince or Richard Hamilton. He had three straight games where he scored in double digits before being sidelined for the next 4 with the flu. Delfino became an important change-of-pace player in Flip Saunders' offensive scheme.
Toronto Raptors
On June 15, 2007, the Detroit Pistons traded Delfino to the Toronto Raptors for 2nd round draft picks in both the 2009 NBA Draft and the 2011 NBA Draft.[3] The 2007–08 season was his most productive in the NBA, as he averaged 9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game during the regular season.
On June 16, 2009, the Toronto Raptors extended a qualifying offer to Delfino.[4]
Khimki
In the summer of 2008, Delfino signed a 3-year contract with the Russian Super League club Khimki Moscow Region. Delfino was one of the highest paid basketball players in Europe, earning about $10 million US dollars per season, plus a house, a car and a driver, and savings on taxes.[5] He averaged 13.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game in Europe's second level competition, the ULEB Eurocup during the 2008–09 season.[6]
Milwaukee Bucks (2009–2012)
On August 18, 2009, the Raptors signed and traded Delfino to the Milwaukee Bucks along with Roko Ukić in exchange for Amir Johnson and Sonny Weems.[7]
Delfino had a breakout season with the Bucks, as he posted career highs in points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, steals per game and blocks per game, while playing 30 minutes per game. He also played a major role in the playoffs, shooting a career high .405 from behind the 3-point line.
Houston Rockets (2012–2013)
On August 20, 2012, Delfino signed with the Houston Rockets.[8] After being a starter for three years in Milwaukee, Delfino became the sixth man for the Rockets. On June 30, 2013, Delfino was waived by the Rockets.[9]
