    Let's see, we've got one guy who speaks English but barely ever says anything, one guy who just learned English but is more comfortable in Chinese and so barely says anything in English, and one guy who allegedly speaks muliple languages but speaks English with such a ridiculous accent who generally won't shut up.

    This dinner has serious comic potential.

    for the sake of the future of the nba, i hope all the tall players procreate with other tall females, shaq's wife is really short so I doubt we'll see a second Shaq. Now with Yao, I wouldn't be surprised to see 7'8 twins.

    No kidding.

    I'd love to see some of the supermodels those throwing stones hang around with.

    Uh, give me the benefit of being globally famous and millions of dollars, I'm pretty sure that I could pull a pretty decent piece of arse... Hell, I've done better (and worse) than Ye Li without being rich or famous mind you; trust me, that's not saying much.

    It's obvious that's not what Yao is all about. Maybe he should pattern his life more after Charlie Sheen, or better yet...Calvin Murphy.

    Maybe Yao actually likes this person, and enjoys her company, and thus spends time with her. What a concept.

    If Yao had your mindset, then yes, he could do better as far as looks, but that isn't what matters in a meaningful relationship.

    he could always wait..in his book he says she was his first and only girl

    I'd get some major booty action before commiting to anything

    but this is Yao were talking about...so its kinda expected

    I'm speaking of Calvin's (or any one of many NBA players) reputation for getting around.

    I respect Yao and all he stands for.

    From the Houston Chronicle (sorry if it's a repost).
    BTW, this sounds like a truly classy move by the Rockets organization and of course Mutombo. Good job.

    Rockets Summary

    Worthy cause


    Speaking at the Rockets' annual Tux & Tennies Charity Gala on Thursday, former president George Bush praised the work of center Dikembe Mutombo and his efforts to build a 300-bed, $29 million hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

    "It's nice that the Rockets do this each year for some charity, and it's very nice to be here tonight," Bush said. "This guy Mutombo, I'm telling you, he is a good man, and he has given a lot of money himself ($10 million) to help the people in his home country, the Congo. He came out to my office and showed me the plans for this hospital, and it is really inspiring. I'm proud to be a little part of this."

    The annual gala, the Clutch City Foundation's top fund-raising event, benefited the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation.

    "I have great admiration for the amount of time and effort and money he has put in to try to help his people in the Congo," Rockets owner Les Alexander said.

    Mutombo was clearly moved to have the Rockets throw their support behind him.

    "It is a dream come true," he said. "I played with so many teams over the past eight years. But there hasn't been an organization that blessed my foundation as much as the Houston Rockets have."

    They should lose weight or something.












    Why is Tet Offensive 1968 one of the google ads for this thread?

    This has got to be a joke, either the post or the person.

    I'd hit it and so should Yao :p

    jk, let the man do what he wants. Besides, I can't wait to see the kind of kid those two would breed, him and Ye.
