Bucks Guard Donte DiVincenzo Approves of the 'White Donte' Nickname

Bucks rookie guard Donte DiVincenzo doesn't just have a new set of teammates this season after playing for Villanova from 2015-18. He has a new nickname, too.

DiVincenzo spent a majority of his college career going by "The Big Ragu", a moniker bestowed upon him by FOX announcer Gus Johnson. But after shining in the 2018 Final Four, DiVincenzo is now commonly known around the NBA as "White Donte."

The nickname was created by ESPN's Bomani Jones, who began using #whitedonte on Twitter in April. The nickname stuck and has followed DiVincenzo to Jones' ESPN program High Noon.
