[PAR] [TLE] Billy Joe Cuthbert [SEP] Billy Joe Cuthbert (born in Terre Haute, Indiana), nicknamed "Mongoose", is a fictional American basketball player, played by John Mead, who promotes Sony's "NBA The Life" video game.  Cuthbert's character first made his appearance known in 2005 through a website called "Dontbethenext.com," in which he chronicled his "history" in the NBA.  In advertisements, he is seen as a goofy, overly-intense, white player in approximately his thirties, who holds a grudge against Sony for choosing to put Kobe Bryant on the cover of "NBA '07: Featuring the Life Vol.  2" instead of him.  He has made numerous challenges to Bryant to play a game of one-on-one to settle the issue.  Being an irrelevant former player, his throwing-down of the gauntlet has brought little reaction from Bryant, nor from many other persons.  "Mamba versus Mongoose!"  is his intimidating catch phrase.  He is thought to resemble Kurt Rambis because of his goggles and mullet. [PAR] [TLE] Mongoose [SEP] Mongoose is the popular English name for 29 of the 34 species in the 14 genera of the family Herpestidae, which are small feliform carnivorans native to southern Eurasia and mainland Africa.  The other five species (all African) in the family are the four kusimanses in the genus "Crossarchus", and the only species in the genus "Suricata": "Suricata suricatta", commonly called meerkat in English.
