    "Little man, yeah, you...why don't you do big Yao a favor, break out your Rand McNally, and tell us all exactly how far it is to the steps of the Philly Art Museum." "Oh, and hey! Whoever has the boombox in the back -- I can't freakin' hear 'Gonna Fly Now'."

    While Francis started a new record label, Yao was selling bridges. Damn it, only Griffin practise in the summer? We all know what Cato and Taylor were doing.
