NBA fans have been desperate for their respective teams to recruit Steeve Ho You Fat, simply because of his humorous name, and the player himself intends to cash in on his newfound popularity.
With a name that can also be used as an insulting phrase, Ho You Fat has been left inundated with requests to release his own personal jersey range, allowing people to purchase a shirt with ‘Ho You Fat’ printed on the back.

This came in the clash between the G League Ignite squad and France’s Metropolitans 92.
Eyes were glued to the game due to the presence of the likely top two overall picks in the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson.
Ho You Fat stole the show because of his name and has perhaps been the biggest success story of the exhibition game between the two teams.
Unfortunately for Ho You Fat, an NBA career is exceedingly unlikely. His abilities are limited and he has a total career average of 2.7 points per game.
