Lost in Translation. In this week's show, the story of how Colin Pine (at right in the graphic), a 5' 9" East Asian language specialist who couldn't make his high school basketball team, ended up a minor NBA star ... as the translator for the first foreign player ever to go number one in the draft, Yao Ming. A story of celebrity, basketball, an unusual friendship and one of the unlikliest routes to a dream job ever. Broadcast the weekend of May 30 - June 1 in most places, or available here next week via RealAudio. Pictured: Cartoon by Richard Rempel.
