He said: "Ever since I started playing professional basketball, I was referred to as the Little Giant since I was 16 or 17. Now that has been used for 10 years. I'm now 27 years old, I've got married recently, and there is even white hair growing out now. I don't think I am little anymore, even though I am still not to be considered old. Please don't call me Little Giant in future." As to what nick name he preferred, he jokingly said: "I never heard someone will pick a nick name for himself. I am okay with anything you people choose, as long as it is something nice, easy to remember and pronounce....and, please, not Little Giant anymore." So what do you guys think? Any good suggestions?
This nick name alway said by Chinese. As pryuen translation from 163.com "Ever since I started playing professional basketball, I was referred to as the Little Giant since I was 16 or 17. "
no one here calls him lil giant, so I guess hes not referring to us, just the chinese media. otherwise, Ive always thought the great wall is a lil too obvious, but does it really matter? I dont really care even if yao was called tigger everytime he made an awesome move, cause im still screaming out a lung for him.
how about "greatest ever in history of world of many people to be the best and happiest beast of all nations in basketball universe of power"....... has nice ring in the face. !!
