Turns out no one is trying to steal Matt Bonner’s nickname
An unlikely source confirmed that “The Red Mamba” is safe. During the Spurs’ recent win in Atlanta, it was revealed that Hawks red-headed rookie Kevin Huerter — who happens to have the third-best three-point percentage in the league among rookies who have 100 or more attempts — has the nickname “The Red Mamba,” which research suggests was given to him back during his college years at the University of Maryland. This first came to attention before the game began, when the Hawks’ official Twitter account tweeted their starting line-up based on the players’ nicknames,...

But the essence of The Red Mamba is his playing. Bonner was a...
