Late last season talk of Yao just surfaces. Somebody (DaDakota??) posts that picture of Yao in the Bayi Rockets gym, which had "Rockets" written on the podium, and says that that was an omen (amen!). early discussion of whether the Bulls would be interested in swapping their (supposed) #1 pick for Franchise so that we can get Yao. Lottery Jackpot!!! To trade or not to trade. Cat speaks for Odom... DocRockets' wiat he's coMing scoop. TroyBaros, SF: "Pick Yao, I'm gone" The CBA-ShanghaiSharks torture chamber. The draft The Worlds The Wang Zhi-Zhi scare. The contract The Asian games Arrival!!! Welcome big fella
Hey Kayman, do a search on "Ming" on this bbs. The talk and wishing of Ming coming here started way back at least in December of 1999. It may have started even before that on the bbs... I like how some of the people in those threads said Ming would never be allowed to leave China until 2005 or we wouldn't have a shot at him... How sweet it is...
For the past hour, I have read the first page of the OLDEST threads that mentioned Ming. REALLY interesting stuff by posters who are not active at the moment.
This is the oldest post in which someone mentioned Ming on this bbs. It was posted by FinalFantasy on 11-23-1999:
