Editor's note:

.

With all due respect to Mr. Turpin, I am only repeating what fellow

basketball fans would say whenever I viewed him as a starting center

in the NBA: "Dinner Bell" Mel?

.

So, since I still know only sports names, stats, and trivia, I always

yield to fans who are far more knowledgeable regarding nuances

and intricacies of all the sports and abilities of all the participants.

.

The nickname is a personal sports favorite and may have nothing

to do with Turpin's abilities or career, so take the above reference

with a grain of salt - what do I know!!!
