Good job ZRB. WHOOP THERE HE IS! YAO-ZA! DING-A-LING, MR.MING THE KING!!!! BIG GRIN! BIG GRIN! BIG GRIN!
wow..................... thank you Houston, thank you Dawson, Goldberg, Rudy T. and everyone involved....... Thank you ZRB, Clutch for bringing this news so early to us!! Go Houston. BTW: count my $40 for your new season plan, Clutch. Do you agree that you may have to upgrade your server/software since more visits are expected with the draft of Yao in the new season?
I'm not sure I like the sound of "they should not worry about the FIBA letter." I will feel much better when the Rockets get that little piece of paper in their hands!
YAO WEEEEE!!! Great news. Exciting news. The 2002/2003 Rockets are suddenly more interesting and scarier. Can't wait to see the big boy in Houston jammies.
But didn't The Rocket Guy just say ... Oh, never mind! Congratulations to Dawson, Goldberg, Rudy T. and everyone involved. You did a great job with a difficult situation. Now don't screw up pick #15!!!
"just a little patience," "yeah , yeah..." Bring on the Ming, can you feel the love? outstanding, thanks for stayin on top of it ZRB.... I just knew when I woke up a, that I would see good news.
Props also to JONATHAN FEIGEN for staying up so late to update the Chronicle on-line. I'm guessing the morning paper is way outdated now. os
so, anyone want to tell me how crazy the bbs was last night. seems to have held up. so, don't you guys go crazy tonight, Clutch wants to have fun too. Oh, and, woo hoo. What was the deal Mr Commissioner? Did you get your silly promises in writing, that you already had?
Yup it sure does compared to trading it for a pothead who is overrated.:rolleyes Who are you?? Stevie Francis himself?? Get over it and get used to hearing the Ming dynasty dude.
Ming Ming! Everytime I come into your city Ming Ming! Everytime I buy a new ride Ming Ming! Lorenzos on Yokohama tires
All Systems Go For Yao Ming! June 26 - Rockets general counsel Michael Goldberg issued the following statement today: ¡°I received a letter early this morning from Chinese Basketball Association Chief Executive Xin Lancheng confirming that all of his concerns had been addressed. We are looking forward to drafting Yao Ming with the first overall selection in the 2002 NBA Draft. The fact that we arrived at such a mutually beneficial understanding in such a short period of time illustrates the spirit of cooperation and trust that existed throughout these discussions. There were many rounds of congratulations exchanged this morning with Chief Executive Xin, Yao Ming¡¯s representatives and officials from the Shanghai Sharks.¡± -------- from NBA.com
