“Brick by Brick” – Mr. Bush’s Defensive Debut Turns Heads Against Titans

In a league built on flash and ego, Mr. Bush brought something else in his NBL debut: structure. The Herd may have started 0-2, but against the Titans, Mr. Bush didn’t just survive, he made his presence known.

Facing off solo against rising rookie John, Mr. Bush dropped 3 goals, 0 assists, 1 save, 10 blocks, 2 power-up plays, and collected 19 power-ups, putting up one of the most defensively complete stat lines of the season so far. His 10.53% power-up efficiency was low, but his sheer volume and physical presence were undeniable.

Shades of Lil Nee’s Origin

The comparisons to Lil Nee were inevitable. When Nee made his first appearance after leaving the Micro Dicks, he debuted with Higgy and logged:

2 goals, 0 assists, 0 saves, 0 blocks, and 2 power-up plays in a disappointing team loss.

Where Nee was quiet in his post-trade debut, Bush was loud—especially on defense. Ten blocks in a debut game is nearly unheard of. And while he doesn’t have the swagger or scoring burst that defines Lil Nee, Bush has something eerily familiar: that raw, undeveloped fire.

A Similar Mission

When asked about his goal, Mr. Bush gave a simple answer:

“The goal is the chip, that's it  that's aways been the goal, it always has been and it will be.”

The same words a younger Lil Nee gave last season. It's not just a goal it's a warning.

Mr. Bush might not be built like The One, but he’s already built to last. And if the Herd can build around him, they might just shock the league.
