"The 'Postman' leaned in behind, and the 'Ticket' had to give the ball to the 'Madman', who faced the 'Glove' and forced a layup but was grabbed the rebound by the 'Shark'..."
NBA fans who like nostalgia may want to hear this kind of commentary when watching "War of the Wolves". "Mailman", "Big Ticket"
, "Madman" and "Glove" refer to Karl Malone, Garnett and Spry respectively Ware and Payton, "Shaq"
O'Neal's other nickname is "Shaq Diesel" (Shaq Diesel)
NBA stars have always added "Shaq Diesel" between their names A tradition of nicknames, nicknames naturally follow the popularity of the stars themselves. Like "Air"
Everyone knows Jordan, and everyone knows "Magic" Johnson. I believe many people don't know or don't care about "Magic"
's real name--Earvin Johnson.
More than ten or twenty years ago, the popularity of the NBA had not reached the level of globalization it is today. At that time, fans seemed to prefer calling players by their nicknames. The San Antonio Spurs merged from the ABA into the NBA in the mid-1970s. Although they have never won an NBA championship, they have a group of talented players with unique personalities. George
Gervin’s nickname is “Iceman” and James “Snake” Silas
Due to He is always known as the "Captain Late" for his outstanding performance in the fourth quarter, as well as Billy "The
Whopper" Paultz, Larry “Special K” Kenon and Mike “Sugar” Gale are both idols that people love.
The main players of the Detroit Pistons, which won two NBA championships in the late 1980s and early 1990s, also had their own nicknames, such as "Spider-Man" John Salley (John
"Spiderman" Salley), Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson
, and later rebounding champion Dennis " Worm” Rodman). In fact, Worm in English refers to worm, which means "small insect"
, and "big insect"
is another name for tiger in Chinese. This translation has become a fact , there is no need to pursue it. The number one star on the team at that time was Isiah "Zeke" Thomas, now the general manager of the New York Knicks and nicknamed "Zeke"
"Zeke" is "Isiah" ” Another name in the Bible. "The Smiling Assassin"
is another nickname for Isiah Thomas. This nickname came about because Thomas' opponent once said about him, "(on the court) he always faces you first." Smile, and then kill you."
"Smiling Assassin" is "baby-faced assassin" in English, and its original meaning is "baby-faced assassin".
In addition, the entire team had a nickname at that time, which was the "Bad Boys".
Compared to one of the hottest teams in the NBA today, the Dallas Mavericks, there is not a single player with a decent nickname, which is a bit disappointing. The most pitiful thing was a Mavericks away game. Local fans put up placards attacking the English spellings of three of Dallas' main players. The signs read "Dirty, Nasty". "Disgusting", "Filthy", pointing to Nowitzki (Dirk), Nash (Nash) and Finley (Finley) respectively.
However, most stars continue the tradition. Duncan's nickname is "The Big Fundamental", Iverson is "The Answer", Carter is "AirCanada", and Pierce is called "The Truth". Truth)
, Francis is called "Franchise". However, having a nickname is by no means a "privilege" only for NBA players.
"Sky Hook" (Cap) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was asked on the day the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced his retirement, "Who is the greatest player who has ever played against you?"
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar thought for a long time and finally replied, "I have to say 'goat', Earl Manicault."
Earl "The Goat" Manicault Goat" Manigault)
is the greatest streetball player on the streets of New York. He is called "The Goat" because of his difficult to pronounce name. The "goat" who is only 1.85 meters tall can easily dunk on the head of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is 2.20 meters tall. Many old fans on the streets of New York swear they have seen "The Goat" perform "double dunk" with their own eyes. It is said that at the last moment of a street ball game, with his team trailing by 3 points, "Goat" flew up and dunked with his left hand, caught the ball in the air with his right hand and dunked again, and then said this to the referee. It counts as 4 points. Unfortunately, "The Goat" didn't get the success it deserved due to drugs and crime. (There are many introductions about "goat" on the Internet, so I won't go into details here.
)
Back to the topic, many NBA players have long and weird nicknames. For example, the nickname of Rafer Alston of the Heat is "Skip to my
Lou", derived from a pop song lyric that describes his skillful dribbling skills. There is also Dominique Wilkins (Dominique Wilkins)
The nickname is "Human Highlight Film", which also describes his superb skills. Wolves defender Cassell was called "Alien" because of his unique appearance.
Barkley and others often made fun of him.
Finally, let me give you some personal opinions. I always feel that it is not appropriate to translate Francis' "privilege" as "boss"
Because if Yao Ming becomes the "first brother" of the team in the future, who should be called the real "big brother"? "Boss"? Furthermore, Yao Ming's Chinese nickname is "Little Giant"
This really lacks imagination. The English nickname is "Ming Dynasty" (Ming Dynasty)
It's not very good either, because the Ming Dynasty was a weak dynasty in history, which doesn't sound right to Yao Ming, who has high hopes for everyone. . I named Yao Ming "The Hulk" (The
Hulk), derived from the movie of the same name. The reason is that the "Hulk" and Yao Ming are somewhat similar. Furthermore, Yao Ming's playing style is somewhat soft, while the "Hulk" will burst out with superhuman energy once angry. Yao Ming should also suffer. Stimulate your child and make yourself more fierce. "The Hulk"'s last line in the film is, "You shouldn't make me angry."
This is a sentence that Yao Ming should remember. (GUILI
