    I never thought he really needed a nickname. "Yao" sounds cool itself and it's only one syllable. No need to reinvent the wheel.

    I interpreted this thread as a chance to help the Chinese fans pick a new nickname for Yao.

    Obviously in America, he already has several popular and well-known nicknames (The Great Wall, The Ming Dynasty, Chairman Yao, etc.) that have nothing to do with the Little Giant.



    Forget American nicknames, we're helping to come up with a Chinese nickname.

    He already has these nicknames that I've heard many times:

    Chairman Yao
    The Ming Dynasty
    The Great Wall
    Yaozer
    Wow Yao
    The Dynasty
    Ming The Merciless
    Yao Kong
    Shanghai Shake
    Personally I kind of like,

    The Great Tall, instead of The Great Wall

    or Ming The Merciless that's a good one.

    Or simply, The Dynasty, certainly nice one. The Ming Dynasty is good too.

    The Great Wall isn't bad.

    I guess if he was from Hong Kong instead of Shanghai, could have called him "The Dong From Hong Kong"

    Is it offical that Yao is "MiniMing" ?
