    I am a chinese boy, my english isn't good. Perhaps my words cann't rightly express my meaning, but I will try my best. There are very very many people are Tim's fans in china . I think that in china the number of Tim's fans is only less than Yao and Kobe. Tim is my favorite player. In chinese forum , fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby(呆子). Because when he play , there are very very little expression on his face. I can ensure that the nickname is entirely start from the favor. We very very hope that Tim can attend the Olympic of Beijing in 2008, but I know the possibility is very very little.

    Your grammar and usage are as good as or better than the grammar and usage of many posters in this forum -- and they are born and educated in the United States!

    Perhaps my expression is wrong. Gawk? Goof ? The nickname given by chinese fans is start from the favor of Tim , not dislike.

    "Stone Buddha" is often appeared in the official newspaper or magazine. The nickname "booby" is given by the fans of Tim in chinese forum.

    Gawk and goof wouldn't be a good one. We'll go with Booby, that sounds pretty funny.

    isn't "Kobe" a dish or a place they used to eat in Japan?

    Kobe is a type of beef steak, some of the best food you will ever eat. But it's Japanese, not Chinese.

    Welcome to the forum jiangrong.

    In many languages, direct translations don't work. Also, sometimes, cultural meaning is different.

    Anyway, I like it. Booby Duncan is looking good as we get closer to the playoffs. Duncan may not receive any of the regular season awards this year, but if he keeps getting better, he will end up with the greatest award: the championship and maybe even the finals MVP. :

    If you mean "goof", then I think the English word you are looking for is "boob". Do they think Tim is goofy? (in a good way)

    i think booby is a bird. A diver.

    A bird that glide under water at almost as great a degree of swiftness as when flying in the air.

    But he's saying the word means "goof" in English. So he probably means "boob". So booby is cool I guess
