Yao is so freaking huge, it’s crazy. An average human next to him would just not make any sense as already here he makes Cat look like he was shrunk hahaha
Cat is great. I love what he's doing in his personal life and advocating for father's rights, along with being an awesome human. ...I still remember his Golden State winner as a rookie. He was always going to be a problem.
Such a great interview. Both are just wonderful human beings and that richness of spirit really shines through when they talk. You can feel the sincerity and genuine friendship they have which really makes these kind of interviews better for me personally.
In the last couple of years there were so many images and memes of Yao in his job overseeing Chinese basketball, his struggles, his obvious frustrations--it just seemed like he was tired all the time. It's great seeing a more relaxed side of Yao, especially him talking to an old friend. He is such a charismatic dude, and obviously incredibly intelligent. Hope we get to hear more from him now that he's stepped down from that thankless, crappy job.
