Yep. Somedays it looks more round than long if the beard is grown out.

Donovan Mitchell is “??” “the Rice Ball”, because Mitchell sounds just like Mi(rice)Qiu(ball) in Chinese.

A few more I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Javale McGee was the "Shoe Change Emperor" after he changed his shoes 5 times during All-Star Weekend in 2012.

Ben Simmons: “The Chicken King” because he likes easy and opportunistic scoring, Chinese call this “stealing chicken”

Blake Griffin: “Short Fin,” teasing about his short arms.

Damon Stoudamire is “The Flying Rat” because of his Mighty Mouse tattoo.

Tracy McGrady: “Big Sleepy Devil”

Dwight Howard is “Mythical Monster”
