Did anyone see that cover of SI China with T-Mac on it and the word "God" next to some Chinese character? I don't know exactly what it says, but "God" is pretty obvious on the cover. Anyone has a link with a picture or something? I tried to look around but couldn't find anything...
Mmm...that looks good. Too bad SI America couldn't return the favor for Yao. XD http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...0220/index.html
The character is actually a short form for McGrady. It is literally the transliteration of "Mac". So the cover actually says "McGod", which means McGrady=God.
The Chinese character before God is the first character of Tmac's name's translation. It is produced as 'my', so I think they were playing it like "My God". Very cool cover.
Yup, you are getting it right. This has been issued for a some time already. IIRC, there was actually an interview with TMac earlier and the host asked his popularity in China and this "God" stuff was mentioned. Couldn't remember which interview.
