    How about the "Real Thing," I used it in one of my other posts. You know, like Ming is the "Real Thing." Get it? ;)

    How about

    YAO MING

    Yao - "want" in Chinese

    Ming - "life" in Chinese

    It means he is terribly good at what he does - he wants his opponent's life. Or simply, he is a killer!

    That's all we want him to be, right? Yes, kill all other teams.

    It would sound slightly different from his name in Chinese, but pretty damb close, or virtually the same for non-English speakers.

    I can't wait to shout YAO MING in a game...
