Is it Donté Greene? Or Donte' Greene?
misterbrister raises the question. The NBA goes with the é. Syracuse has used an apostrophe. ESPN remains agnostic.
Donté/Donte' was born in Munich, and lived in Europe for the first three years of his life. That would hint toward the acute accent, though it is far from definitive.
If it is, in fact, an acute accent, should we adopt its usage? If so, then we must provide equal diacritical ferver in Francisco García's name … something the NBA does not offer but The Bee sometimes enforces.
We hope to have this serious matter resolved soon.
