Monkey Kings is…certainly a name
I’m sorry, the MONKEY KINGS?
Outjerked by China
You can’t make this shit up
Great signing by the Kings
The WHAT
Nanjing Sun Wukongs
Get ready to re-learn Chinese buddy
In the context of Chinese culture it’s a pretty sick name, but yea it does look a little questionable from a Western perspective lol
Maybe I’m not just a Jazz fan anymore
the WHO
Monkey kings is a wild name
Tacko Fall is playing for Goku now. Once he unlocks his super saiyan form, he’ll come back and destroy Wemby to be the true 7’6 demigod.
I thought the funniest part of this was giving a sit down to dudes playing in China but apparently it’s that people here are dumb as hell about historically important Chinese literature.
Ne-how!
I hope Tacko enjoys his Journey to the East.
I know I shouldn’t expect anyone on r/NBA to have even heard of Journey to the West, but it’s still hilarious that people see the name Monkey Kings and the first thought is “ayo, what the fuck” lmao
Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is the main character of Journey to the West. The character is the inspiration for many characters, including Goku from Dragon Ball, Luffy from One Piece, and many video game character adaptations.
Monkey Kings is crazy
Just keep him out of MYTeam 2K
[For all the ignorant nephews](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King)
A Muslim playing in china is crazy
What the hell does ‘tennis for newborn daughter’ mean lmao
People here realise the word ‘Monkey’ isn’t itself racism right?
I can’t be the only one that read that as “76ers” right?
Monkey kings thats freaky as hell man
Waiting for Demarcus Cousins to throw a fit and demand all the Monkey King jerseys removed from their arena.
