The NBA is big in China, and the superstars of the league have earned their own reputations and nicknames over on the other side of the world. Nick Kapur, a historian of modern East Asia, put together an informative and entertaining Twitter thread covering the nicknames Chinese basketball fans have come up with for the most popular players in the league.

Yes, there are LeBron haters outside of the U.S.

Manu has the best nickname

Poor Shaq

Poor Chuck

They just added an ‘n’ to Melo

Julius Erving, Ph.D.

Scottie Pippen is always playing second fiddle

They could just call him 羊
