Here he is universally known as Skip to My Lou, from the verse to the speakers were seeing him jump and humiliate opponents as if it were the most natural thing ever, "One Skip, skip two” and so on ad infinitum.

There are references to famous American movies. Shawn Marion is called "Matrix" for his extraordinary ability to remain for whole seconds, making cringe even Morpheus and partners. Some people then his nickname is derived directly from the experience of the actor like Ray Allen in the splendid " He Got Game" where Ray plays the role of Jesus Shuttlesworth with Denzel Washinton now direct from our friend Spike Lee, and coincidentally these are the two nicknames of 34 in Miami.
