'Sheed


The NBA season has started and I've learned that the Chinese assign their own Chinese nicknames to various "high profile" players in the NBA. They don't use their English names typically. Rasheed Wallace is one particular player who plays for the Detroit Pistons. He also has a reputation that, evidently, has stretched across the globe.

China's name for Rasheed? "Nu Hao Tian Zun" which directly translates "Angry Loud Sky King". I think they have him pegged.

Go Pistons.
