    Jordan Hill not following directions again; where is his tux? Is still considered a tux if you're only wearing the vest?

    lol

    I don't know, but Chuck looks like a street pimp, especially with that cane. I don't like the outfit at all. Scola looks sharp, good color selection.

    Oh guys, don't you miss Pryuen?

    http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2011-03-11/12425484349.shtml

    Sina listed some of the auction results:

    1. Patrick Patterson probably spent the most amongst his teammates:
    - Dwayne Wade autographed jersey - $1,000
    - Clyde Drexler autographed jersey - $900
    - New Orleans Saints Reggie Bush (??) autographed jersey - $1,500 (Sina translated the last name as 'Lush/Lash' but I can only find one Reggie in the Saints so I guess it's Reggie Bush)
    - Mike Tyson autographed boxing gloves - $2.000
    - MLB Reggie Jackson (??) autographed photo - $500

    2. The GM and his wife Ellen (??):
    - Luis Scola autographed jersey (Argentina NT) - $1,000
    - Yao and Chris Paul autographed photo (All Star) - $300
    - Andrea Bocelli autographed cowboy hat - $350

    3. Kyle Lowry:
    - Tiger Wood autographed 18th hole flag (as mentioned by rags080704) - $1,550

    4. Other items:
    - To play bowling with Luis Scola
    - To bring Yao to school - $10,000 x 2 (co-winner), so Yao has to go to school 2 times
    - 22 wins autographed ball - $350
    - Kobe Bryant autographed photo - $500 (WTF?? a Lakers' photo for $500 but Houston Pride only $350??? Houston people hates Rockets or what?)
    - Yao autographed SI cover poster - $300
    - Yao autographed 2004 All Star jersey - $500, shoe - $350

    5. Other titbits,
    - Yao was with Les as you seen in sports163 photos. Hayes was with Morey (that's some kind of recognition IMO).
    - Performers: Miri Ben-Ari and Comedy Sportz

    Maybe someone should tell the rookie there is a lockout coming and he might want to save his money.

    I don't doubt his IQ, he's probably aware it already hence takes this opportunity to do some business there. ;)

    I keep searching the web for more photos from T&T. No luck. Still haven't seen pictures of LEE, Patterson, Miller, Dragic or Thabeet since the only album so far was 95% Yao.
    Still waiting for a Chron.com album. They had a great one last year of players and their dates.

    Yao always has the nicest threads. Epic win on that tux.

    Yao looks pretty slim for a guy who hasn't balled for a while. According to Feigan he's been working out so that's probably why. He sure looked slimmer than he did in some of the early 2010 photos.
