“That nickname was given to me by Steve Nash when I came to the league and nobody could say my last name, Dragic. Everybody was saying Dragika - nobody could say it. So he said, 'From now on you're The Dragon. It's much easier.' The funny thing is he didn't know the capital city of Slovenia is Ljubljana and the logo is the dragon.”
