I found this interesting link to NBA news in a Chinese newspaper. More Ming info than you could possibly use. http://www.21sports.com/StaticNews/P16.htm os
Ok, so some of you might not be able to read Chinese. I did find some translated Chinese info. Not as much as I would have expected so far. Mentions him being named to the CBA All-Star team. http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200205/19/eng20020519_96011.shtml
You can't read Chinese??? Were you born in a barn?? Sorry, Moo...just my idea of a bad joke amongst Ming Mania. Check out the second link for a little news. os
Dooooooooooooooooooh! Do have one question though. How come the URL is in English and not in Chinese?

"I had only one feeling when I heard the news -- surprise!" Yao said here Tuesday after a practice class in the national team. The 2.25-meter-high center, who is a hot favorite to get the No. 1 pick at the June's draft conference, said he couldn't say which team he likes most before the selection, which is obliged to the rules of NBA. "I just know nothing about the team (the Rockets), and I cannot say whether I like it or not," he said. Yao, 21, alongside Duck undergrads Jay Williams and Mike Dunleavy, are considered the possible top-three picks this season. Over half of the public-opinion polls is for Yao to win the No.1 pick. "You cannot say that I will be selected by the Rockets on No.1 because over half of the people stand for me. They could select Williams or others. Even the Rockets do offer me the No.1 pick, they may want a trade." "Which team will select me? It is not my business. I just wait and see what will be going on," "Big Yao" told Xinhua.
