That pissed me too. Did you see my NBA players' wf and gf post in the NBA dish? Every single lady is better than Ye Li. Damn, even Karl Malone's wife, which we all agree she is the ugliest, is hotter. I mean, come on Yao, you are a NBA superstar who already make millions. I am not saying you should bang a lot of hot chicks, but at least you should pick a decent-look, cheerleader-like one as Dirk did. If YeLi is the only woman you get for your life, I am sorry, even you could makes a hundred million in the future, your life is wasted.
Can Rockets sign a contract with their offsprings now? Let's keep the Rockets legendary center tradition going.
I've got a pic on my c drive but have no idea how to post it on this board. Don't I have to send it to a site first?
Here are some 40+ photos of her in different poses. Some on practice court; some in her casual wear. http://sports.sohu.com/64/48/news213764864.shtml http://sports.china.com/zh_cn/sportsnews/other/1080/20040415/11666648.html I thought she has been in her short hair for the past 5 years, as far back as 1999 when she first joined the national team.
She definitely doesn't look as butch with long hair, but my opinion that Yao could do much better is unchanged. C'mon, you've got to think Lisa was at least a little curious...
I really think Yao is too shy to go up to a really hot chick and ask her out. I think he's the type that waits for girl to come up to him.
That's what entourages are for..just send somebody over there to do it for you -- that's what Jordan used to do! Colin Pine -- you are now useful again, come back from the unemployment line!
You should read how Yao Ming first took the initiative to approach Ye Li, and how he courted her, before you made these remarks.
yao said it's he that went up to his girlfriend first! his girlfriend took no attention to him first and then was moved by his persistance,consideration and care.
Thats great! I usually thought he was a shy person but I guess thats only if he's in the US...or maybe he's not shy at all.
We should just start a Yao gossip column. Maybe we could hire E! Entertainment's Ted Cassablanca to get the latest inside dirt on Yao. What's that? Oh, a little bird is telling me that while Yao and his gal-pal may be lovey dovey, but that isn't the sound of wedding bells you are hearing. A good friend of the toweringly tantalizing twosome says they are both "very dedicated to their careers on the hardwood at the moment and have no immediate plans for marriage." Shame. Yao would like mighty dapper in a super sized Armani suit and can't you just picture the lovely bride in an extra slinky Vera Wang? Oh, to die for.
She was hot till she did that poodle bob haircut...now she looks a little too boyish for my taste... but what can I say...I like women who look like women...and it is HARD for woman to rock the buzz cut and look good. Thats old lady hair! I think Yao is right to stick with her though...since once you become famous and rich you have two options basically: 1. Stick with the woman who loved you before you were famous and rich 2. Never get serious with anyone, just date many different women. Once you have become famous and rich, it is impossible to be sure that she loves you for any other reason. Unless you are ok with just being used for your $$$. I only wish I had these kind of problems... If I was Yao though...I would be insistant that she grow that fro back out...
It's good to know that the phrase "true love will conquer all" is still alive and well in today's society.
I hope they'll get married in the end. one of the reasons is that I would like to see how tall their kids can be!
Yao's got a couple of strikes against him: 1) He's avg looking at best. It's dependent on the angle and lighting, he can come off as normal looking guy to being frankensteinish. 2) He's 7'6". That's mutant territory. His pool of potential mates is down significantly. Considering the above, I'd say he's done rather well for himself.
