             Las Vegas, Nevada - In a post-game interview following the 7-4 victory against the Houston Bulls, LVA's newest defenseman, Gruffud Theofylaktos, was asked an interesting question regarding his diet. A reporter for a local news tabloid asked the amount of milk Gruff consumes in order for him to play like he does. Surprisingly, Gruff said that he doesn't drink milk. Stating that he was lactose intolerant. After some laughter, Gruff said that he "doesn't know why [the reporter] would ask how much milk he consumes." Further elaborating on his statement he mentions that "if it was almond milk, then about 5 gallons." It was unclear if he meant it or not, but following the game, fans of the Aces started referring him as the Milk Man. Ironic considering his inability to drink milk and other dairy products.

 

During a team practice, teammates notably Juan Ceson, would throw Gruff cartons of almond milk. Obviously referring to the defenseman's new status as the Milk Man. When interviewed about the pranks, Gruff laughed it off remarking that "at least they were considerate enough to give [Gruffud] almond milk." The name has since become a fan favorite. It was more marketable, but less menacing than Gruff's previous title as the Greek Menace. Las Vegas management has hinted at potential merch marketing the nickname. Depicting their newest defenseman holding cartons of almond milk with a bright big smile. However at the expense of Gruffud himself, that might stay as an idea until further notice. Nevertheless, this start of the season is quite an interesting one for the Greek rookie.
