Take stock of the funny and weird names in the NBA, which one is the most shocking
A name is a person’s code name, but some people have nice names, and some people have unpleasant names. This is also a fact. , this can only be expected from parents who expect and choose names. There is also a phenomenon like this in the NBA. Many players in the NBA have very weird names. They are so weird that you can remember them once, and they are so weird that they make us dumbfounded. Maybe It’s easier to achieve success with a weirder name! Today we will take a look at which stars have the weirdest names~
1. Kobe Bryant
Kobe was born in Philadelphia. Kobe’s name comes from a family in the suburbs of Philadelphia. King of Prussia's Japanese steak restaurant, Kobe is the signature dish there. Kobe's father, Joe, liked this signature dish (steak) so much that he named his third child (only boy) Kobe. By the way, Kobe is the transliteration of Japanese Kobe. I wonder if there will be Chinese players called "Sixi Meatballs" or "Kung Pao Chicken" in the future.
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Antetokounmpo’s name is really long, so everyone is used to calling him Antetokounmpo! Maybe Antetokounmpo's fame has something to do with his name. Arrange Antetokounmpo's name completely, and the jersey can hardly fit in it. It is said that during a game, when Antetokounmpo hit a key shot and the MC announced the names of the players, the display was garbled and even the usually strict coach Kidd laughed.
3. Uncle Mu
The only player in the entire league who can use the finger-wagging celebration gesture, his greatness need not be repeated. In addition, Uncle Mu's age has also been talked about by fans and the media. When he was playing for the Rockets, some American media even revealed that Uncle Mu's actual age was 40 years old! Just kidding, but what few fans know is that when Uncle Mu was playing in the league, he also set a record for the longest name. Let’s take a look at Uncle Mu’s full name: Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo. If we follow the principles of American naming, Uncle Mu should actually be called Dikembewa Mutombo...
4. Artest
Since Artest corrected his evil ways, , the name was changed in 2011 (Metta World Peace, meaning charity·world·peace, referred to as "Metta World Peace")
