New Nickname for Isaac Gaining Popularity on Social Media
MILWAUKEE – Like most things of substance in the NBA, catchy nicknames usually need time to marinate, resonate and become great before they stick with players.
Karl ``The Mailman’’ Malone only earned his nickname after years of delivering for the Utah Jazz. The same also applied to Allen ``The Answer’’ Iverson and Paul ``The Truth’’ Pierce after they stockpiled dozens of memorable moments late in games with their clutch play.
With his relative inexperience in mind, Orlando Magic Jonathan Isaac is still treading somewhat lightly around a catchy and very apropos nickname that is starting to stick with him as he evolves into one of the NBA’s best defensive players.
