MING TIDBITS

SHANK · Apr 18, 2002

I'm not sure if someone has already found this or not, but try asianbasketball.com for some cool info on Yao Ming. I would also look under "leagues" and click on CBA (Hilton League) for more specifics. Both the Bayi Rockets (Wang Zhi-Zhi) and Shanghai Sharks (Yao Ming) are there.

There's an interview with Ming too if you look. He calls Wang Zhi-Zhi his greatest opponent because of his mobility and "defense".

Linkified for the lazy: http://asianbasketball.com/

cool, there are some interesting quotes on that site:

"After watching Yao Ming compete against the best players in the world, I left Sydney dizzy with the possibilities. Simply put, the 20-year-old Yao has a chance to alter the way the game of basketball is played."
- NBA Legend Bill Walton
in ESPN The Magazine (12/2000)

"The good coach is much more than a basketball instructor for consciously and subconsciously he assumes the role of an educationist carrying his influence far beyond basketball itself."
- B. Jagger

"I was shocked by his skills (at the Sydney Olympics). He blew me away."
- Philadelphia 76ers Head coach Larry Brown

"You never believe you're gonna lose in basketball. If you start to think you'll lose in a basketball game, you will lose!"
- NBA Legends' Eddie Johnson
after coming back from a 10 point deficit to win Game 2 of the Legends' Tour series

"Whatever they are feeding those guys, I would like to know. I eat a lot of Chinese food. I should have fed it to my son. He's only 6-foot-4 (193cm)"
- US Dream Team coach Rudy Tomjanovich
