    Yao Ming Visits Cameron
    Written by Dave Bradley

    March 1, 2008

    It is common for Triangle-area visitors to go out of their way to make a stop to see Cameron Indoor Stadium. Almost every day, you can find visitors snapping photos both inside and outside the storied venue. Typically these guests aren't 7'6" NBA All-Stars but yesterday was an exception when Rockets center Yao Ming decided he wanted to check out Cameron while in town and tour the grounds where NBA teammate Shane Battier thrived for four years.

    The towering six-time NBA All-Star made his way over to campus and met up with his tour guide, Coach K. The Hall of Fame Duke coach showed Yao around Cameron, our locker room area, and the brand-new Krzyzewski Center. Along the way, Yao saw Shane's retired jersey, checked out his three National Defensive Player of the Year trophies, and even watched some of his Duke highlights in our theater. Exceedingly gracious, interested and friendly, Yao certainly impressed our coaching staff.

    Yao, Coach K and members of the Duke and Rockets staffs in the K Center:

    I am glad to see he's not moping and staying home eating cookies and getting fat. :)

    BTW, what's Keith Jones doing there? Isn't he supposed to be taking care of Mutombo's elbow pads?

    Yao looking sharp. I wonder where Yao gets his jeans? Those jeans look pretty nice. I'm curious what size they come in and who makes those jeans. :cool:
