OT: Boozer earns his nickname 

Post#1 » by random_hero891 » Mon Aug 11, 2008 2:58 pm

The Utah Jazz forward is known to the 1.3 billion people in China as "Fan Gu Zai," which, loosely translated, means "Betrayal Skull Dude."

I don't know about you guys, but I thought this was hilarious.

I read that and thought it was pretty funny as well. I don't really care about the Boozer situation anymore though personally

Saw that on a number of sites.

I guess the Chinese people are pretty wise and can cut through the PR front that Boo$er puts up.

One more season and Utah will get Boo$erd.
