    Haven't seen any post on this, Yao is invited to the lunch tomorrow at the white house, what kind of dish do they server there? :)

    Hopefully next time he goes there it will be as the NBA champ next year!

    Well it doesn't sound like much fun for a 25 year old... He may need Colin Pine along so afterward he can say reassure Yao: "oh, just shut up you actually know how to speak English". :D

    What's Colin Pine doing now? I know the Rockets wanted to give him a front office position. I was watching that Year of the Yao. The end was actually pretty sad; brought a tear to my eye.

    I heard that Yao will defect right there in the White House.

    Do they call the leader of China "President"? I like less generic titles such as 'Crown Prince' or 'Chancellor' or 'Mullah' or 'Furor'...OK, scratch the last one.

    I believe Colin is in Shanghai. Last I heard he took a job there, I forget for who. A friend of mine is friends with him and he'd know. He posts here but I forget his username because he doesn't post often. It's got HOU713 in it. I remember that. :D

    There is something very fishy about this article, though I won't elaborate on that since it has little to do with basketball.

    We call our leader Chairman Hu and last time I learned, from this board, Colin is working for NBA in China. :)

    He should be in Beijing.....working for NBA Asia. We saw alot of Colin's faces in the summer, when he showed up in Yao Ming's fan club activities, and other NBA activities like the FIBA Stankovic Continental Champion Cup and the Basketball Without Borders Camp, meeting with Yao Ming, Ye Li (Yao Ming's girl friend) and Bostjar Nachbar.
