    As a significant upgrade over Shawn Bradley the Praying Mantis.

    Also, to resume the trend of animal nicknames for Rocket's players:

    Mario "the Junkyard Dog" Elie

    Cuttino "the Cat" Mobley

    And the beloved Pig Miller.

    Yao "the Divine Mantis" Ming!

    or

    The Ying-yang Mantis!

    Geesh! You have to earn a nickname or at the very least have one asrise spontaniously.

    He might be The Bust or if he wins multiple championships he might be The Ming Dynasty. If he turns out to be fragile and hurt all the time , he might be the Ming Vase.

    But you guys should leave the annointing of a nickname to the radio announcing professionals.

    I think what Clutch had posted a couple of days ago is the clear winner: APOCALYPSE YAO!

    Others:
    "Wow!" Ming
    Yao-za

    if he's as inteligent as people say: Yao "Think"
    If he's a bust: Yao "Stink"


    Also, I can't wait for "Wink to Ming" plays, this may be bigger than "Stockton to Malone"

    I like "Chinese Puppet" since that is what he is.

    "Shanghai Kid", I know he is not a kid but it sounds good
    "Jaws" like the shark because he played for the
    Shanghai Sharks
    "Tall guy from Shanghai"
    "6 feet 17 inches"

    I offered the "Yellow Menace" but that didn't seem to catch on. I think the "Dynasty" might stick. I like the "Great Wall," that one has merit, could be a keeper. How about the "Oriental Express?"
    Until he plays, I don't anything will really stick. He might block so many shots that we call him the "Sly Swatter!"
