Yao Ming might purchase stake in Shanghai Sharks

good for him

 

Yao Jordan?

Yao doesn't seem like he is a good businessman to me. He seems like the kind of guy who wants to support his old team out of loyalty and love of basketball, but doesn't have the eye for talent that it takes to run a ballclub, much like MJ.

 

He's got a restaurant yo, don't be hatin'.

 

Let's just hope he doesn't emulate Jordan and try to become a player/owner for the Sharks.

 

Would it violate the collective bargaining agreement for the Rockets to stash 2nd round picks with Shanghai?

 

Good for Yao...retire after surgery and go manage the Sharks.

Save us and yourself some pain.

 

You can tell the haters, they make negative snap judgements about Yao on just about everything.

 

You don't need to have a good management skill to become a owner of the team. You just need to hire a guy who is good at it.

 

WTF? The owner of a team only has to have an eye for a good GM. Do you think Jerry Buss makes player personnel decisions?

 

Is Jerry Buss a businessman or did he make his millions by being good at putting a ball through a hoop? Owning a basketball team is business. Do you think Jerry Buss doesn't have input on player personnel decisions? Do you read any articles pertaining to Leslie Alexander's ownership style? Yao, like MJ, was a great player who seems to lack the mind of a businessman- necessary for success in business. You act like people who own sports teams don't affect decision making. Ever heard of Mark Cuban?
