    Led by Tracy McGrady, a group of current and ex NBA stars visited China today. It will be a 7-day trip and they will visit 4 cities including ShiJiaZhuang, TianJin, HeFei and ChengDu. The event is organized by Red Cross.

    At the press conference held today, TMac announced that he will donate US$30K himself to support the event.

    I will post the photos of this trip in this thread, I will not disclose the names of the other NBA stars but I am sure you will be surprised by a couple (although I am still unable to find a close up for "THE" star).

    The lady next to TMac is Yao's idol, Lang Ping, volley ball legend and she also coached USA Women Volley Team to play in BeiJing Olympics games.

    Yao's idol is a female volleyball player?

    And "skinny" is a word best used to describe an anorexic celebrity chick like Lindsay Lohan, not a healthy professional basketball player. Tayshaun Prince is an exception. :D

    If anything, McGrady looks "in shape."

    skin⋅ny [skin-ee] adjective, -ni⋅er, -ni⋅est, noun

    –adjective
    1. very lean or thin; emaciated: a skinny little kitten.
    2. of or like skin.
    3. unusually low or reduced; meager; minimal: skinny profits.
    4. (of an object) narrow or slender: a skinny bed.

    Actaully, he looks like he has clothing on and isn't playing basketball, so I cannot tell whether he's in "basketball shape" or not.

    No kidding...I love how all these people conclude that he appears in basketball shape from some still photos of him sitting behind a table.

    haha, let me correct myself, he looks like he's closer to basketball shape than he was 7 months ago when he was playing basketball.

    Apparently, he's trained too hard. He's lost so much weight I can't even see him. :D
