The official Rockets site has a challenge to find a nickname for Yao Ming. Stevie is the "Franchise" and Cuttino is the "Cat". There's a lot of creative people here on the BBS and I'm just interested to see what nicknames the posters here could come up with since the official site is not posting results. http://www.nba.com/rockets/fans/Name_That_Ming-47626-34.html
To an extent I wanna wait until I see him play. It will determine his nick name. . . .we still working on one for Griff The Crime Dog just does not cut it Rocket River
I cant think of anything right now. I also must see him play here in the nba. I seen some of thie stuff on the videos and he looks great, but i want to see it with my own eyes.
The Chinese have a nickname for Yao, Bateer, and Zhi Zhi which is the "Walking Wall". How about we keep that and call him Yao the "Wall" Ming? Not too creative, I know but it's fitting.
This should be a no-brainer: "The Dynasty" (as in the Ming Dynasty of Chinese History) ! I know, I know - everyone will say that we should wait until he begins to play, but if S.F. can be The Franchise before the first whistle is blown, then Yao can be "The Dynasty"
This guy already comes with his own nickname. How many variations of Yao have we seen? Yao-sa Yao-sa Yao-sa.....It's Yao or never....etc When Mobley wants the ball from Ming is the Cat just gonna look at him and say "Me Yao!!!!" I hope I don't have to explain that one later.
[Any Flash Gordan Fans? ] ["Ming the Merciless" ] I've seen that movie, man its old. Any way i like the Great Wall nickname, i think thats will work. In the mean time i hate the nick name fast eddie, that sounds ga.....bad.
