    "Yao-Mania!
    June 26 - Be sure to log on to rockets.com for complete coverage of tonight's NBA draft. The moment NBA Commissioner David Stern announces the Rockets' selection of Yao Ming with the No. 1 pick of the 2002 NBA Draft, rockets.com will launch an exclusive Yao Ming section, complete with video, photo galleries, a fan poll, quotes, a special contest, and much more!



    June 26 - Rockets general counsel Michael Goldberg issued the following statement today: “I received a letter early this morning from Chinese Basketball Association Chief Executive Xin Lancheng confirming that all of his concerns had been addressed. We are looking forward to drafting Yao Ming with the first overall selection in the 2002 NBA Draft. The fact that we arrived at such a mutually beneficial understanding in such a short period of time illustrates the spirit of cooperation and trust that existed throughout these discussions. There were many rounds of congratulations exchanged this morning with Chief Executive Xin, Yao Ming’s representatives and officials from the Shanghai Sharks.”
