AP: Yao Ming says Chinese players need to step up intensity to play in NBA

Yeah....uhh...how old is this kid and how tall is he?

 

I had the exact same thought until this last pic came out (the post right before me). Looks like this isn't exactly intense competition. Those little toddlers might be able to play for the Denver Nuggets, but not an NBA team.

Edited to add: this is a terrific pic for all those worried about Yao's "burn-out" from the grueling games in China.

 

Hmmmmmmmm...lol

I believe it's kinda obvious to everyone that they are not playing a real game. It must be some kind of public workout in which Yao is tutoring the youngsters in Hongkong. That kid can't be older than 13.

From what I read they will only play one single game against an Australian team in Hongkong.

 

What's Yao doing smiling and all that with the ball under the basket?!?!? He should be ripping that kid's head off and spitting it out to midcourt!!?!?!?!?! Aggression dude!!!!!

 

I'd be hella pissed if I were part of this "meet Yao Ming" basketball camp like thing and he swatted my shots into the stands.

Good to see Yao enjoying his time off.

 

I think my boy Yao will truly be better and more aggressive this year...A force to be reakoned with in a couple of years...
