I think the "Little Chucking Warrior" is a better fit :nod:

Just joking, but its a pretty cool name actually

To make this more interesting, that nickname is originally written as "xiao fei xia", it is the name the Chinese gave to Peter Pan when Peter Pan films were first introduced to China....... So dwell on that......

Does every USA player have a nickname like that? I remember Lebron's is "Little Emperor" or something like that. I can't remember what Boozer's was but it had something to do with a his skull and him being a betrayer.

Bosh`s nick is Long Wang. No joke.

Long Wang or 龙王 means dragon king if translated to English. And it's definately not pronounced how it sounds in English. Kobe's Chinese name is 小飞侠 and for anyone curious what they called Michael Jordan back in the day it was 飞人(fei ren) which means flying man.
