Yao Ming is sino-cizing the Rockets

Sorry to use a strang word. But you will understand what I mean. Here is a new interview of Yao Ming. Very long. There are some interesting stuffs in it.

When he was asked how he overcame the cultural and customary differences and mixed with other Rockets so quitely, Ming said:

"I use the Chinese culture to attract my teammates. Our culture is so great. They are very excited when I talk about Chinese culture."

"I tell them many aspects of Chinese culture, the delicious food, the beatiful sights. Now everyone in Rockets is eager to go to China."

"Next year probably there will be a pre-season game of Rockets held in China. That will be very cool."

"Mobley decided to print "cat" in Chinese on his shoes. He asked me to write down the word "cat" in Chinese. I provided two versions to him, one is simplified Chinese (which is used in Main land of China), another is traditional Chinese (which is used in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other areas). He liked the traditional one because it looked more complicated. But I told him, "You should choose the simplified one, then all of 1.3 billion Chinese people will like you."
