He is just using the name he used in Brazil
Nenê real name is Maybiner Rodney Hilario a REALLY weird name for a brazilian.
So, in Brazil he is know by the name Nenê, only really basket junkies knows that he is named Hilario.
So, he is just changing BACK to his more famous name, cuz he will get more money and advertising using that.
Problably the same will happen to Leandrinho Barbosa.
Nene is not doing the same thing we do in soccer, he is just doing what brazilian usually do.
In Brazil we always call and know people for the first name or nickname, even in formal places. Example: I work at a big telephony company, and call my boss Teo, a nickname, but If I was living in america I would Problably call him Ko Freitag, his family name. Get it!!!!
I thought only Marc Stein would do this stupid assumption.
