    In Chinese we also call him 铁图姆 because he literally bricks everything (at Chinese 铁 is same meaning as ‘brick’)

      And Justin Trudeau is “little potato” since his last name is very similar to potato in Chinese “tudou” and he’s the junior to his father, hence the “little” part.

    I learned about this trend through e-sports (dota2) where Chinese fans really like coming up with funny nicknames for everyone. They seem to have a lot of fun with it

    These are just made up.

    There are a billion people in China. You can find people calling someone anything there. Stop.

      You would be too if every single word you utter gets analysed and spun out of context.

      I’d be out there like Kawhi.

    Useless trivia - I read Mariah Carey’s name in China is “Cow Sister” (it’s meant in a positive way) and because one of Ariana Grande’s biggest influences in her style of singing/music is Mariah, her nickname is “Little Cow” lol

    Giannis’s nickname is “alphabet bro” 字母哥.

    AD’s nickname is “Thick brow” 浓眉.

    Two of my personal favour.

          The Flying Pig lmao.

          I’d love to see an Inside the NBA skit where they’re told their nicknames on air. Chuck would laugh at his, Shaq would angrily take off his glasses, but then everybody would laugh at how Kenny probably doesn’t even have a nickname.
