    Don't believe a word of it. Where's your proof besides these obviously Photoshopped pictures!!! ;)

    But really, thanks for sharing the story and pictures (and not getting into a fist fight with Artest). you've got to love these cool experiences in life that come out of nowhere.

    I remember the when coach Adlemen took over and the Rockets had their training camp @ UT in Austin. I happened to be there one morning when the team came through and wished coach well for his first year. Just like you said - he looked pissed and grumbled something at me. As long as he keeps the team winning and focused!!!

    Nice pics. Surprising that Yao wasn't more friendly, I think that max sport stars that own restaurants owe it to their fans and customers to be more friendly.

    Thats really not cool of Yao, acting all superstar.

    Artest is definitely real.

    He wasn't acting all superstar. He was following the rules of his endorser's contract. If that basketball gets auctioned and is made public then he can get into alot of trouble with Reebok.

    If you were paid alot of money from a company, I bet you would try to follow their rules and stipulations also.

    It's like working for Microsoft and you walk in one day to the office with a shirt that says Apple Ipod on it. Then Bill Gates walks by your cubicle and sees your shirt. :eek:

    Funny, this made me recall that Brent Barry scene in Jerry Maguire about this very topic. Coincident they are on the same team now.

    I think he's talking about the woman who asked Yao for a picture and he said no.
