Nowadays it seems like everybody in the NBA has an alternate persona. We’ve seen “Dame Dolla”, “Hoodie Melo”, “Playoff P”, and many more, but now it looks like its time for “Hoodie ‘Fultz.”

Markelle Fultz was spotted wearing a hoodie while warming up prior to the 76ers matchup against the Indiana Pacers, and I have a feeling he’s going to start hearing a new nickname fairly soon.
A former No. 1 overall pick, Fultz has had a pretty disappointing career thus far, failing to come anywhere close to expectations. However, if Fultz can show out Wednesday night after rocking the hoodie, maybe something new may be in order for his alter ego.
We’re rooting for Markelle Fultz to get back to this.

We’re all rooting for this.
Sixers fans have always fallen victim to the Fultz hype tapes. After mysteriously losing his jump shot halfway through his rookie season, Markelle has looked much better so far in 2018. Fultz still has a long way to go, and a hoodie is unlikely to have much of an impact.
