    Tell Silvia to remind her hosts that Shaq was traded to Phoenix. And how do you pronounce “nba”?

    Hey, Squathole, they pronounce it, ‘en bee ay’.
    In the midst of Chinese, ‘en bee ay’ sounds pretty funny. Just like that time in Miami when I sat next to a group of people speaking Chinese… it was a lot of Chinese then all of a sudden one of them said ‘hurricane shutters’ then a whole bunch of Chinese again.
