Not sure whether this has been posted or not. From ESPN Insider.....as Del Harris shared his insights with Chris Sheridan. Got this dug out from Chris Sheridan's blog. To imagine Yao Ming playing all these while....2004/2005 with that pain on his toe. I'm glad his nightmare and pain on the toe is gone now.
The red army has introduced Yao to Victor Conte. Was it any big mystery as why Golden State wanted Yao so bad? BALCO!
The writer probably mixed Sun Yue up with Chen Jianghua. Su Yue is 20 years old going on to 21. He should be eligible for NBA draft in another years' time. (China CBA current rule is that no players eligible for NBA draft until 22 years old).
