Talking about "Kebi Buláiente"

Got nothing to say to your students or the cab driver? Then drop the name "Ke-bi" in conversations and watch faces light up. Kobe Bryant is also known by his Chinese nickname: "xiao fei xia" or "little flying warrior."

This morning I got a full report from my MBA students on Sun Yin because over the weekend
brotha showed up against the Bucks for just over five minutes and scored four points in his first Laker regular season game. Hey now! So, who's their favorite baller? Some will be all sly and say Tracy McGrady, but I'm sure that's only because they can follow the Rockets without having to admit to how much they love-love-love Yao Ming. Overall, everyone I meet is a big fan of Mr. Alun Aifusen and Mr. Lebulan Zhangmusi and, without a doubt, the little flying warrior.

Yeah, but did your students talk about the FOUR fouls he picked up within the same minutes? At that rate, even if Jackson wanted him to play more minutes, he'd foul out of the game in less than a quarter!
