Carlos Boozer is a ‘Betrayal Skull Dude’

Make all the jokes about Carlos Boozer and his last name. You certainly can’t say the same about his Chinese nickname, “Fan Gu Zai,” which translates to “Betrayal Skull Dude.”

The betrayal skull reference comes from the Chinese story of Zhuge Liang, one of China’s most well-known intellectuals and military strategists. According to legend, before Zhuge died, he said, ‘Wei will betray the country sooner or later.’ Wei was a general under Zhuge’s supervision.

‘How do you know?’ someone asked.

‘He has a protuberant bone on his head,’ Zhuge answered.

Now how dope is that? Not only does he have a nickname with historic value and the word, “Dude,” in it, but it’s in another language. If you twist it around, it’s almost like he’s “Bone Dude,” which equals sex god. But that’s only with a couple shots and slight dyslexia.
