Can't figure out why they Heat is translated with Friendly.
But refering to the Bucks as Male Deer made me lough.

Ash Bear, Express Steamer and Digs the Gold are funny translations too.

Well, Babelfish sucks ;)

When you watch NBA games from Chinese TV Channels on Internet Television Feeds Programs like Sopcast, TvKoo etc. they call Kobe "Kirby" and Dwayne Wade "DwaynWa-der".

A lot of translations don't translate straight to a word so that's why they have make-shift names.

Sit is right about the Chinese language not haveing a straight translation to English. Also considering that there are 3 main Chinese language: Fookien, Mandarin, and Cantonese adds to the difficulty of translating another language.
