Coincidentally, that's the same nickname for Dwight Howard in Taiwan, but not because he's cute.

He looks like a cute rabbit? I don’t get it.

Elvis Presley is known as the Cat King in China. 🌠 The More You Know🌠

[–] TylerBlozak@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

Toilet bro is fire

[–] TacoPersonality@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d be thrilled

[–] richard_golbes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

These are just made up.

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

Pro athletes are so boring lol

[–] KalpolIntro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

And Jennifer Lawrence is the Big Cousin for some reason.

1.Most beautiful girl in the school.

  1. Joke

I'm not kidding they call him 校花 or 笑话. Same pronunciation as his name.

[–] dafire123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don’t know what to do with this information tbh with you

[–] elbenji@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Call him that affectionately like how curry is sky fucker

[–] pccabc123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Giannis's nickname is "alphabet bro" 字母哥.

AD's nickname is "Thick brow" 浓眉.

Two of my personal favour.

[–] fuzzb0y@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Skyfucker for Curry is pretty dope too

[–] ClassicAd8627@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No name goes as hard as kobe, the God who strikes iron (hits the rim). Perfect badass name that's just a roast.

[–] BorisTheBlade04@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Manu’s is Demon Blade, that should enter the conversation. Named for being a slasher

[–] limbtz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So if someone says "Kitty will give you a ride" - who would that be?

Kevin Durant is schoolbag du. He used to wear backpacks to press conferences and du is short for Durant

[–] OutsideTheServiceBox@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BorisTheBlade04@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Notice how Barkley is the only one that didn’t need an explanation? Lmao

[–] niquelas@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kawhi is called 可愛 (ke ai) which means cute. Because kawhi sounds like kawaii meaning cute in Japanese.

[–] seanconnery69696@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kind of want whole news articles written like this now.

Michael jordan's pancake syrup and chower blessings poured onto a cute rabbit, which then has sex while airborne. Animated donkey runs around kicking humans in the testicles. Kingslayer tries to duel with his left hand but drops his sword.

[–] d2kSON@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't Steph curry "sky fucker"?

[–] Aggressive_Ad5115@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Klay is Clay

[–] limbtz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh, thanks God it's not Kitty 🐈 😔

[–] Dramatic-County-1284@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rabbits can’t clutch up in the 4th either

[–] Pranker00111@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Ambitious-Income-672@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thought it was just me that called him that

[–] DLoadingKeanu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
