Seriously, is Yao the most known Chinese in States?

Is there any chance that some Americans know Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan but never heard of Yao?

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan is old school, besides people in entertainment industry probably are not propriate to be a signal of a nation ;)

I would say most of the American public knows "of" Yao Ming merely from his commercials. That's how I knew about him before I followed NBA basketball.
