Windandsea has posted that Ming has some concerns and hopes of feeling a sense of brotherhood on the Rockets. And I just thought that maybe you guys could think of some ways that his new Rockets teammates and coaches could help him feel welcome into their brotherhood.
Take him to the alley behind the Compaq Center and show him how to "light it up" on and off the court..
the team and our coaches should all learn 1 positive phrase each, like "nice job" or "great game"in chinese. then we would have like 20 phrases that would inspire him. and when he screws up he wont understand the negative comments. its perfect. print it. send it out.
Oh my god, I'm laughing my a$$ off. This is what I love about this site. The comedy on this site really makes my day. Haters not included.
Smoothie great idea I like it, actually think the rockets should consider it Great pic Windandsea only you should have put him on the space shuttle... lmao! Hoopgod13 who do you propose teach him to light it up, Mo Roxran is that a big grin

(for the chinese out there, sorry for mixing up the wade-giles and romanisation, it's purely to make it easier to read...)
Funny Stuff Lil... I'm still laughing... Thanks for the chinese lesson I'm debating on using one of these as my moniker. As for everyone else don't stop contributing your ides on how to welcome Yao into the Rockets Brotherhood... Be creative
I am sorry, I just had to reply to this thread because I was LMAO at the title of this thread! Great title! Ming seems pretty easy going and seems to have a good attitude. I think he will get along great with the Rockets. He just wants to "fit in" and is not going to come in here trying to be the savior but rather just be a piece of the puzzle. I think once the guys practice together and work together they will get to know him more and their Yao Yao Brotherhood bonds will get stronger Chris
Brotherhood will come when we win. If Stevie and Co have half a brain, they will welcome Ming with hugs of his ankles, shins and knees the minute the he swats the layup attempt of _____ (insert name of any perimeter player in the NBA) that just blew through our alleged defense. I have never seen a single tape, video stream or written transcript of a CBA game, but I guarantee you that Ming has never seen ups like Francis and quicks like Mobley. Ya, I think he'll like it here. Our boys just have to remember to get Ming 10 shots a game.
Lil- funny and creative stuff! Hopefully we'll actually be hearing these lines whether in chinese or english!
