Father's day The Rockets had a guest power forward draining jumpers after Saturday's practice. Yao Ming's father, Yao Zhi Yuan, spent some time shooting and put on a pretty fair exhibition. Yao Ming said he last played against his father six years ago and could not remember who won. But he said he never has blocked his father's shot. But Yao Ming said his father's playing days are forever behind him. "Maybe he can coach," he said. That would make sense given that he has a shooting motion similar to the high-release jump shot Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich still has. "That's because they're both old school," Rockets guard Steve Francis said. "I guess that's how they used to shoot in those days."
C'mon ewfd, MoT could be the reason the Rockets get into the playoffs. Of course, Yao's mom could audition for backup PF...
Sorry, call me cynical, but I'm just not convinced MoT is the solution to our inside woes. lmao at being a backup.
