    For those that don't know, AK-47 is also a Russian-made rifle that's been used in basically every single conflict since the end of World War II, almost always against the American agenda. Rugged and easy to use, you hide it in mud for a month then take it out, it would still fire like normal, unlike the high maintenance M-16s. It's been an ideal weapon for the revolutionaries and terrorists because it's cheap & reliable, as well as powerful.

    Andrei Kirilenko, number 47, so yeah, AK47 is an epic nickname.

    No, because when he was like 15 or 16 he was already over 7 feet tall & playing for the Chinese national team internationally.

    Well, Barkley did say the Rockets were going to be the worst team in the Western Conference (or was that the league?) before the season started...

    the accurate English translation for Lowry's Chinese nickname should be:

    the little motar (in Chinese literally, "the little steel gun")

    addressing his small size, sturdy build and fatal firepower in close combat.

    Little steel gun or Little cannon is for Kyle in China.

    In China, we call VW's car Golf GTI (especially W12 650) as Little cannon. Small, but quite powerful.

    Chris Bosh (Long Wang) King of the Dragons: He’s seen as the leader of the Raptors.

    Tim Duncan (Shi Fo ) Stone Buddha: Duncan is very strong and calm just like the Buddha.

    Damon Stoudemire (Xiao Fei Shu) Little Flying Mouse: For his speed and the ability to pass through opposing players.

    Dikembe Mutombo (Fei Zhou Da Shan) Africa’s Big Mountain: Mutombo’s ability to block shots. And he is a player from Africa.

    Carmelo Anthony (Tian Gua) Sweet Melon: The nickname “Melo” resembles “Melon”. “Sweet Melon” refers to Carmelo ‘s sweet and cute appearance .
