Yao Ming has an ad in the newest ESPN Magazine. It's an ad for ESPN and the NBA. "ESPN. THE NEW HOME OF THE NBA. Wednesday and Friday Nights" It's a pic of Yao in some gray shorts and a red pocket tee sitting on the top bunk of a bunk bed reading a book. The book is "All-Pro Basketball Stars 1976." It could be 1978, the print is small. His legs, as we know, are HUGE. On the lower bunk, asleep, is the black ESPN anchor whose name escapes me. Not Stu, the chubby one with glasses. He did the Texans ex-draft with Stu and Jaws. Anyway, if anyone has a scanner, it's a great ad.
this ad is also in the latest SI. i wonder when they shot this ad? it had to be when yao was in indy...
If anyone can find the ad and put it on the BBS, it would be very much appreciated. If not, what is the cover of the SI with the ad in it?
The guy in the lower bunk is indeed Mike Tirico. I didn't see the ad in the magazine, but posted on the side of a bus -- I chuckled as it drove by me. It's a funny picture.
"Football Fever" with the Sooners on the cover. BTW, Yao is the cover story on the next SI!!! wooohoooooo!!
