How similar is it? Even when Yu Hewei talked about the NBA, he laughed at himself that Jordan Jr.' s face and beard were similar to his, and after seeing the photos between them, Jordan admitted that he really resembled Liu Huangshu.

2. Emperor Danny Green-Amar

Although Danny Green is not a superstar, in the 13 finals, he almost staged the drama of riding the savior alone, but this finals seems to have used most of Danny Green's shooting touch, so in the next few seasons, Green often performed crazy performances while the iron was hot, so he was affectionately called by domestic fans. Lin Tie? It happens that everyone knows that there is a person who claims to be? Emperor's professional household? The actor's name is Zhang Tie-Lin, so Danny Green got one? Emperor Amal? After Danny Green hit a three-pointer, the fans often joked? I don't want this iron mountain. ?

3. hibbert-Gao Yuanyuan

Many young fans may not understand why hibbert's nickname is Gao Yuanyuan. After all, Gao Yuanyuan in our country is a great beauty, and hibbert lags far behind Gao Yuanyuan in appearance. Then why is hibbert called by domestic fans? Gao Yuanyuan? And then what? The main reason is that hibbert, who is 2m 18, often gets 0 points and 0 rebounds in the game. He is tall and the data is zero. Right? Gao Yuanyuan? Really?

4. Duncan Stone Buddha

Compared with China's two nicknames, Duncan has reached the point where everyone knows. As for why he is called the stone Buddha, the reason is also very simple. That is, for most of his career, regardless of winning or losing, Duncan is basically expressionless and will not have obvious emotional fluctuations. Even some Mu Na, coupled with his unpretentious style and low-key and introverted personality, are as low-key as a stone Buddha, but extremely stable.

5. Griffin-Geffen

What is Griffin's nickname in China? For Li Fen? Why did domestic fans give him such a nickname? There is a simple reason. Although the rookie injury season was reimbursed, Griffin's performance in the second season was really awesome, and the style of the ball was soaring. He often performed amazing individual dunks in competitions, so it was very appropriate to nickname Li Fen at that time.

6.klay thompson-Buddha

The NBA has two brothers, one is Yanis Adeto Combo and the other is anthony davis. Are they called by domestic fans? Brother letter? And then what? Brother has thick eyebrows?

The nickname Brother Thick Eyebrows mainly benefits from the iconic beauty of anthony davis, and the reason why I bring the word Brother is also an affirmation of their strength, but according to anthony davis's eyebrows, it is called? Yimei brothers? Shouldn't it be more appropriate?

8. Buckley-Pigs flying in the air

Buckley's nickname has always been regarded as the classic of all NBA players' nicknames, China, because it is so appropriate.

In the league where players are getting thinner and thinner, EJ.Lee stands out like Pang Hu in the cartoon, especially the literal meaning is realistic. After all, EJ.Lee is very fat, with the top three weight, athletic ability, impact and explosive power in the active league.

10, Durant-Schoolbag Du

Except Durant? Death? In addition to this recognized nickname, there is another nickname in the mouth of domestic fans, that is? Schoolbag du? Why is it called schoolbag Du?
