Giannis’ Chinese Nickname is Awesome
Twitter is a fun place where things can happen out of the blue. Take yesterday morning for example. Nick Kapur is studying Asian history at Harvard, and he decided to spend his morning by giving us all of the Chinese nicknames of the star players. The list is absolutely incredible. Naturally, Giannis Antetokounmpo was included with this list of NBA superstars. The nickname they give him ‘Letters Bro’ because he has so many letters in his name, therefore, he’s simply ‘Letters Bro’ which sounds like a nickname that could stick for awhile.
Giannis Antetokounmpo – 字母哥 "Letters Bro"
Because his last name has…so…many…letters!

There are so many good ones, so, make sure you like at Kapur’s thread. The Steph Curry is easily the best one. ‘Fucks the sky’ might be one of my favorite nicknames of all-time. I would like to see t-shirts, mugs, hats with that nickname on it. If Curry was smart, he would have the nickname on some clothing item of in the coming week.
Let’s hope that Letters Bro is a thing going forward.
