    Does Yao still eat at his restaurant in Houston?

    All true. Owner Alexander blew his chance to maximize his TMac op.

    Owner Alexander is a billionaire because Donald was a sterling jerk and Adam turned his silver into gold via a very Hot Mail. The water level it did rise high in the aftermath of that bath.

    PS Sterling did quite well for himself for being an arse as big as all SoCal.

    Sterling was forced out

    nah . Les painted the Toyota center in Chinese and the city jerseys with nothing that indicates the city of Houston exists

    Yao never got traded
    Not because he was a great player and loyal dude

    we know why
    Should have told Les he wanted the largest contract in nba history

    Why would you expect him to be worth more? That's way more than he earned as a player after taxes.

    Kobe is worth $600 million
    Yao should be worth more than $120
    That’s low for a globally recognized player

    Sterling, being a life-long jerk, was forced out and GOT PAID. >2B$ for a team he paid what, @25M for? That sale set sail to a rising ocean tide of future team transactions inc and especially Owner Alex' 'gifting' to TF for @2.2B more than he paid ol' Charlie back when Commish Stern directed the sale to LA.

    The Yao Ming Trading cards are doing much better than they should be. Almost quadrupling in value over the last 5 years for no apparent reason. One just sold last week for 22k. His autographs are routinely bringing big money. He has really strong market value.

    ...Maybe the dude isn't a psychopath and is content with having his measley120 MILLION dollars ... I gotta be honest with you Tinny, I know it's unamerican but I plan to quit pursuing money after I make my first hundo millo. Kobe was a hyper entrepreneur, not everybody is like that.

    Yao didn't do too bad for a man who only signed one contract after his rookie deal. Yao made 90 million from his NBA contracts, Kobe made 330 million and had a career twice as long which effects advertisements. Regardless, this is a D&D thread, and the whole point is to take a jab at China.
