Steve Francis+FollowThe NBA’s “Five Greats” — Chinese meme editionChinese hoops fans remixed their fictional “Five Greats” into today’s NBA: 北丐 (Northern Beggar) → Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 西独 (Western “Solo”) → Luka Dončić 中神通 (Central Divine) → Nikola Jokić 东“鞋” (Eastern “Shoe”) → Giannis Antetokounmpo 南僧 (Southern Monk) → the zen GOAT archetype It’s a wordplay tour: swapping the wuxia titles with hoops royalty (and even a pun on Giannis’ signature shoes). If you know the novels, the roles fit interestingly. Other cast came to your mind? #NBA #Memes #Wuxia #HoopsCulture #ChineseCulture 20Share
