He's a potential rookie of the year winner for the national league. Haven't found any information by googling.

Tulowitzki seems to be a germanized form of Tulowicki.

Lukasz, having a surname that was once carried by a nobleman does not always indicate aristocratic ancestry if that's what you tried to suggest.

My surname is Tulowiecki. What are the chances we are related somewhere down the line?

Tulowitzki is definetly a Germanized Polish name (like Nowitzky - Polish Nowicki). The name would be carried by a Pole in German occupied Poland. Poles were treated like dirt by the Bismark (German leader) and some turned their back on being Polish, and aquired a German persona. These pseudo Germans were often anti Polish because of their guilt and shame for their actions. Germans with Polish names seem to deny their true ancestry.

Dirk Nowitzki is a seven-time NBA All-Star and eight-time member of the All-NBA Teams, and is the first European-born player in NBA history to receive the NBA Most Valuable Player award.[1] He is the first Maverick ever to be voted into an All-NBA Team and also holds several all-time Mavericks franchise records.[2]
He led the German national basketball team to a bronze medal in the 2002 FIBA World Championship and the silver medal in EuroBasket 2005, and was leading scorer and elected Most Valuable Player in both tournaments. Regarded as one of the best European players in basketball history, Nowitzki was named "European Basketball Player of the Year" by Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport for five years in a row and voted FIBA European Basketball Player of the Year in 2005.[2]


Shame on him for denying his true heritage! Shame! Shame! Shame!!!
