Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic unable to get “The Matador” nickname

Luka Doncic made a big splash in his rookie campaign with the Dallas Mavericks, proving to be one of the most NBA ready rookies the league has seen in a long time. As with all future superstars, Luka needs to have a nickname that people will always remember. MJ, King James, Wilt the Stilt, the Round Mound of Rebound, Larry Legend, Magic. What will Luka’s nickname be going forward?

Well the one thing we know for sure is that “The Matador” likely will not stick. News surfaced recently that the Dallas Mavericks attempt at trademarking the nickname for Luka was unsuccessful.
