chinese nicknames for NBA players

A thread of Chinese internet nicknames for NBA players.

China is crazy for the NBA, but official sources use boring phonetic transcriptions, failing to take advantage of Chinese characters having both sound and meaning. Chinese netizens have "improved" on these official names.

The Chinese netizens have a vicious and creative streak, creating names and memes for everything they follow. I enjoyed this twitter thread *a lot*. For even more nicknames, check the replies as well!
