    He kicked the table, washed his head with cold water and cried for a long time, until some player from other teams came to comfort him.

    He will go back to China tomorrow with NT. He wanted to "escape" from Indiana but hoped to beat Pacers when he comes back at Oct 30th.

    "Does Yao Ming have the desire to win?"

    Wasn't this one of those questions about Ming? Well, this answers it.

    Poor Ming. :(

    Well, he won't be crying at all when he joins the Rocks. He'll be surrounded with talent. And he'll actually win a lot more games!

    Windandsea is Yao Ming still in the USA? I was wondering when he will sign for the Houston Rockets?

    Man, his sorrows are going to be turned into praises when he is surrounded by Griffin, Francis, Mobley, and Rudy T.

    Don't worry, Ming...the nightmare of having sorry A$$ point guards are over when you come to the NBA...

    Doesn't steve cry (or used to cry) after almost every loss? I think having 2 centerpieces on our team that hate to lose that much will be great.

    Unbelievable. A 7'5" Chinese guy has turned this BBS into a group hug for soap opera junkies.

    A little drama never hurt anything. :D

    Of course, between sweat and tears, if Yao cries after every Rockets loss....? We'll have to hook him up to an IV.

    Will and OS, you guys are killing me. LMAO!:D

    You go, Yao! Just don't cry during a game, a la Kordell Stewart, even when you see our perimeter defense!

    How about tears of joy?

    I'm secure enough in my manhood to admit I wiped a tear or two as I watched Dream sitting on the scorer's table after Game 7 and thinking about Houston's first big time championship.

    Also shed a few for Clyde after the Orlando sweep.

    However, if you're thinking about crying due to pain or disappointment, then Cowboy Up and choke back those tears.:D

    Just found out that the player who comforted Ming at the locker room when Ming was cring is Mehmet Okur of Turkey. They talked for a while and Ming said that he found his English was improved a lot after his cry.

    :confused: His English improved b/c he talked with Okur? Or did his crying magically transform his English proficiency?:confused:

    BTW, Jose Cruz cried after the Astros were eliminated by the Phillies in a close game. Cruz is my all-time favorite 'stro.

    Sorry, I'm off topic.
