    Anyone see the new Rockets billboard with Ming on it?
    You see it going north on 59 from Sugarland into Houston.

    It's all in Chinese except for the Rockets logo!!

    Anyone know what it says?

    I can't tell you how exciting it was to see the one on I-10 when I went through Houston for the first time in a while. It got me pumped about being a Rockets fan.

    That's cool guys, thanks for the explaination.

    One thing though, the one with Mobley is obviously playing off of "Godzilla."
    Is that right? Kinda stereotyping Ming as a "Chinese" monster!!

    Then again China has to approve all marketing ideas about or involving Yao.

    They look cool though!

    Errr....Godzilla is Japanese. And Cat would be screaming about the "something big" coming.

    I like the one of Cat that's near downtown on 45 south...he's pointing right in the direction of the new arena, and it says "be part of something big." Great placement!
