I've just thought of something......in the sports section of Hong Kong papers, I have never seen nicknames for players put in print, it would always be something like '高比‘ （Kobe），‘奧尼爾‘ （O'neal）Always a direct translation, never heard of any of these nicknames.

melo ... street cred? if he had any to begin with he lost it at MSG ... and if he had any left after that he lost it completely when stern revealed on tnt that he told melo "i saw you running. you're not a fighter."

Melo should be "man that slap and run"

His Mexican name would be "slapping speedy Gonzales"

i dont know why they translated it wrong but Dirk's nickname (De Guo Zhan Che) means "German Tank", not "German Racecar".
maybe some kind of political reasons have to do with this "error"
