hi, jiangrong
I am one of fans of duncan from china,too.

to milkway21. bobby isn't a kind of bird when we use it as the nickname of Duncan.

It is just because Tim doesn't have much expression on his face,
so we call him booby.
In china, it is said that a person with high IQ looks like a fool. In that way, we use the word "booby" as the nickname of Tim.

That is right. I am in Shanghai. Where are you?

After I read the article, "booby" seems to be the right word.

In Chinese, there is a proverb "A man of great wisdom often seems slowwitted". Those who call Duncan "booby" mean the same.

I guess that makes sense.

Kori really needs to get that article to Horry or Brent Barry.

I bet Shoogarbear has about a 1000 witty comebacks himself for the whole Timt he Booby thing.

I can come up with 1000 just using a pink bra.

However since you asked . . .









I guess that explains why he wears the pasties.

Booby Duncan sure sounds funny at first.. but with the meaning, it fits perfectly! Like the word is made for Booby.. ehhrr.. I mean Timmy..!

This is correct. I have heard Spanish commentary when the Spurs played against the Memphis Grizzlies. They love Pau Gasol in Spain. The commentator always referred to Bruce as Bruce Lee and whenever someone made a 3 he would say "triple'!" Spanish commentators rule!

[DJREN37]

I like "booby" better than what the Duke fans gave him as a nickname when he played at Wake Forrest. The Duke fans use to chant "Spock" and he use to always smile and have big games against them.

[Jimcs50]

, fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby.

No wonder I like TD.

"And the Pistons defenders pressure Duncan at the half court line. It's a booby trap!"

[texbound]

That is right. I am in Shanghai. Where are you?

Welcome Jiangrong. That's why I love this forum. So many people from other cultures on this board.

I love Shanghai. It's a wonderful city (I was only there two days and stayed in the Pudong area). I spent most of my trip taking a Yangtze river cruise from Chongqing to Wuhan. Beautiful country. I plan on going back to China soon, so maybe I'll get to see more of Shanghai.

everyone just wants to rub or squeeze booby

[charmie21]

i want to squeeze booby! Timmy the booby, that is..! LOL

[timvp]

I guess that explains why he wears the pasties.

[SpursWoman]

When booby is sore, booby should get rubbed on.

Many man try to make moves on booby.

Many man get rejected by booby.

Ever heard of a Hall of Fame booby?

Double double = DD ... that means booby was BIG.

Booby likes to squeeze ball before play.

Tony Parker makes a lot of passes at booby.

That's cool!

After I read the article, "booby" seems to be the right word..

I dunno ... do I explain or not?

[Summers]

I dunno ... do I explain or not?

Nah! There's definitely something lost in translation, but it's well-intentioned.

[Summers]

We very very hope that Tim can attend the Olympic of Beijing in 2008, but I know the possibility is very very little.

Oh, amongst all the confusion, nobody mentioned that Tim will probably not play in the Olympics again. He had a bad experience in Athens and said he wouldn't play internationally again. I think Kobe will be there, though, so that should make a few Chinese NBA fans happy.

In chinese forum , fans of Tim give Tim a nickname:booby(•ðŽq�j.

I am 3/4 Chinese. What is the phonetic word in Mandarin Pinyin?

[TDMVPDPOY]

[TimFan]

I am 3/4 Chinese. What is the phonetic word in Mandarin Pinyin?

It is Dai Zi 呆子. Some overseas Chinese fans also call him "Deng Dai 邓呆" or "Mu Mu 木 木". All are very cute nicknames, full of fondness.

[TDMVPDPOY]

mu mu sounds like a name for a puppy man, just like mimi

[ShoogarBear]
