Obviously Wang Meng has been enjoying long, cold showers with Uncle Deke; this explains his intimate, insider status within the Rockets' organization.
I think it is the reporters calling them Uncle (in Chinese though). Those reporters are from young generation. They like to invent lame nicknames for every player to show their cool. They use street languages in the report, on the TV. Their article sounds faked even though they actually did the interview.
No, I know he was joking there about the term "uncle" being racist. My point is that the he tried to use the story to diss some posters who are too sensitive by playing the racist card. I think it's lame and that's why I sid he's pathetic.
Why do some fools try to seize every single opportunity to diss the other posters is beyond me. Do they feel so miserable that they have to do that to make them feel a little better about themselves?
