0:04 Jesus name [Music] so there is a French pro basketball player whose jersey is in high demand right now is this a super tall dude he is super well yeah he's tall yeah he's very tall but uh is his last name hilarious his first name's Steve so it's probably not wow his last name is definitely not hilarious it's not a laughing matter he is uh he's in the French league oh never mind I've been seeing this dude that's like on highlight reels I think it's from France and he's like seven four yeah there is a dude yeah people love that guy too yeah some of these guys crazy this guy is uh yeah he's he is good though but um everybody wants his jersey and you're about to find out why his last name is

0:54 bukaki or something hey whoa whoa whoa whoa almost front holding fat oh you fast that's right I have seen that that's sick the real origins or did he change his name and because then he's a ████ Legend So that also sounds like like one of those fake Asian names you know yeah yeah ████ me long or whatever yeah something wrong something wrong yeah so this dude um he's actually his uh paternal grandfather I believe is Chinese

1:44 whoa it is yeah yeah it says his grandfather originally left China for France his mother is African um yeah so it's in his grandfather's yo we should get his jersey his jersey oh you fat dude so he's part Chinese that's cool ethnically oh what's that he's ethnically part Chinese uh no he's well yeah he is because of his grandfather Yeah I'm trying to find what team he's on but I can't find that I did see a ████ photo of him holding the jersey and said oh you fat and I was like no way yeah yeah now I kept on scrolling but yeah now this is like a for real name I'm like holy I mean hoe you ████ the Metropolitan oh you ████ yeah Steve Stevie wait a spelling his name five different ways but yeah Steve hold you fat Steve that's dope what a ████

2:35 funny name dude just Steve it's felt very correctly really okay yeah h-o-y-o-u-f-a-t with you because it could have been like and in fact f-189 wait why the y-o-u that's that's wild that's like a little too like it's cool on the nose that's two on there that's it that's a troll I've done that just I don't know if his grandpa did it like sometimes it's like it's actually why you but then the guy making the Jersey is like nah this is too good well you know how when you immigrate and you go you have to like fill the format you could spell your name however the ████ you want right that's how we got done and you have no control over it so uh you know my dad has like seven brothers and sisters they all immigrated at different times from different ports some came in through San Francisco some came in through La whatever we all have the same Chinese last name but there's

3:25 three different quans in our family like with o there's one with the g-u-a-n and there's one with r's Kwan there's another one I think with the o or with the Q oh but what what Quan does uh Burton bort have Swan uh Swan board is my new favorite so it's just whatever random American working at the immigration office that's like that sounds like Q then it goes to that or you know just whatever they hear that's exactly what happened dude yeah my Vietnamese last name is l y so my parents actually their last name is l y but then coming here it was pretty much turned to l-e wow it's supposed to be lie or it's supposed to be still still leave with l y oh this is a great Jersey good colors come on dude

4:15 Steve with two e's with two e's yeah you should do that I it's a great it's great I don't think I can pull it off that's too funny it's kind of hard all right you know I'm just gonna see how we can go in there that's badass it's pretty badass metropolitans oh you fat because everyone's gonna want one do you think women will be mad they can't that last name only but thanks for uh bringing that up that's the battle would you keep Lionheart or would you go to uh you oh you fat yeah I was hoping you'd say the right answer so long Lionheart because you actually have you actually have a really cool last name already so it's like I will always keep my last name selling his jersey yet

5:05 what if um some the guy you were marrying had an even cooler one lion balls you want to take line balls then you gotta merge it um it's almost there well not like Dragon heart if that was like your counterpart Jermaine Dragonheart we would combine it together maybe heart heart heart dragon lion what are we getting at so you guys uh want to get this jersey let's get this yeah I don't even think they made it yet someone's some guy in downtown is making it right now yeah yeah you guys make it right now it's probably like a you gotta like walk up and buy it from a textile dude yeah can you spell this out hunting for it but yeah they're sports teams just as lame as ours you know like Phoenix Suns like what the ████ the Sun the Metropolitan the Metropolitan like the ████ do you like that name the Metropolitan that's oh they're the Metropolitan yeah what's

5:56 another one then uh let's look up some French French sports sports names worst Pro Sports names how about that I mean they'll all be worse I don't know because they're French I got it ████ you bought one yep whoa it looks kind of cool too where'd you where'd you get it how much is it I'll tell you off camera because we're not paying us damn I'm about to get one oh you fat also into the group show okay yeah yeah yeah Joe's gonna buy one immediately he's not hard to find them I guess if Steve gets it though it's like his name's also Steve it's like way cooler yeah oh it's not as cool for us grab it as well dude their names are stuff that I can't even like say what does that mean I don't know it

6:47 looks like a ball with a mountain on it so along with the mountain on it yeah their names are boring yeah just like ours oh the BCM look what the ████ is a Laker what was the Laker the jdad of sorts like gold digger types wasn't that because of the they used to be located by the Great Lakes yeah but what is a Lakers still I just remember the Lakers I need chickens ████ enthusiasts of uh bodies of water that are not connected to rivers or oceans but now I'm an avid Laker you see like that that's what it sounds like yeah that's like the 49ers it's like how how much time do you think we have until ████ Asians get mad about what how are you fat being used in a comical way do you think people are gonna be mad about that the team moved to Minneapolis in 1947 his name was changed to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota state nickname land of 10 000 lakes that same year the Lakers acquired Georgia make

7:37 him a little came with a little the Lakers Los Angeles Lakers history from Minneapolis we have like two lakes in L.A and like like yeah and like and the other ones are secret that only like gated communities know about yeah oh yeah you know about those ones you go up there you're like there's a ████ Lake up here yeah and the house is all around them those legs are dope there's a bunch of little ones next to each other right yeah like you go up in the mountains and you'll like when you take a helicopter tour you're like La is mostly Lakes and they never said ████ and they never said ████ God damn it we are the Lakers rich people are good at keeping secrets of their communities dude the private beaches thing is a ████ joke yeah that's a scam dude scam I go on their Beach dude I'll give a ████ don't knock the Zuck you don't want the beach dude yeah you don't know the beach it's jerky that's what I say so yeah this um this player I don't even know if he's good I'm sure he must be like well I just saw

8:29 him miss a three right yeah yeah yeah that should be the definitive thing right now any ████ bounced off the rim but do you think um him having a name like this would help his chances to be drafted to NBA in my league yeah but I don't think we have very much I think I think that when you get more attention regardless you either step up or you don't you know what I mean if there's suddenly like more natural viral attention yeah I think it's gonna put a different type of pressure on him as a player and maybe he could step up to utilize it like when Lynn sanity became thing he ████ started carrying it it became like automatic even though like you know that was literally kind of like almost a quick blip it was like two years yeah but it went to like all the way to like ████ he was like an Asian dude on Time Magazine type ████ you know so didn't he get kind of like ████ up a little bit over that a little bit but

9:20 like when it was happening when he was riding that wave that ████ was just automatic he would just go in and just go you know anything my family came together for yeah a lot of families were into that ████ but like did he get depressed after like something like died down I feel like he was like not he said he couldn't he felt like he it was mostly mental form like he just felt like he didn't belong in the NBA for a while and then his performance started showing that so he he talked about it like postal insanity and like hearing about how he was like traded from one team to another constantly I think that like messed with him a little bit and now he's playing like in another country Taiwan he had all the ability to play in the NBA like he could have really hung but I think it was the mental side of that like which playing in Taiwan is not bad by any means right they got a good like thing going and I think he's playing with his brother now too in Taiwan or something

10:10 like that right making so much money do you guys remember when tiger like like late 90s when tiger was about to win like I think there was what the ████ is it US Open one whatever it is whatever the one is the PGA Wimbledon it was such a big deal that at my school like the teachers like like stopped class and like pulled out the ████ roll away team all the way TV like history in the making yeah it was pretty it was really cool they'll probably do the same yeah transferred over to the states I had the Chinese Teachers so many people are going to be rooting for that though right it like You're Gonna Want whole you fat to do well so that they constantly have to say oh you fat like the audience is chanting his name yeah so like it's there's I think it's gonna be tough pressure on one end but at the same time like it's not like it's not like his ████ father was Michael Jordan type pressure right it's like

11:00 your last name's oh you fat and I'm really like I'm a fan of any kind of amalgamation of so many different cultures That You Don't See too often like this is what he said he said uh he said uh Chinese people don't like to mix marriages I'm black it's a Chinese name so it's not easy to talk about that but that's it I'm proud of my name I'm proud of who I am I'm proud of my dad and my mom that's tight I like this dude that attitude he's like I'm a holy fat for Life dude oh you fat for life forever and any hoes out there that want to be all you fast as well holla at you boy I swear on my name is a hoe you fat I swear oh my God [Music]
