So I get the feeling not too many of you believe me. That's cool, like I said, I have the autograph to prove it. I won't tell you what Best Buy it was b/c my boss would kill me... I will tell you that Yao lives in a gated community on Barker Cypress, about 2 miles south of I-10... you figure out which store I am talking about. Still don't belive me, if you live in the area, ask some of the employee's how often Yao comes in our store. It's like no big deal to most of the full timers b/c they see him so often. Someone said it is sad that Yao was shopping alone... trade him to LA... OK, I know you were kidding but actually, I think that's pretty cool that people let him do his own thing. Don't get me wrong, they were definitely staring, but they didn't mob him. If it makes you feel any better, my boss said he usually gets mobbed for autographs... he just so happened to come into the store on a slow afternoon. I would scan the ticket if I had a scanner. I can prolly come up with something. Still I know most of you won't believe me. That's cool... but the truth is, I have met Yao, which I think is pretty awesome. He was very friendly and modest, which I respect a lot.
My Cousin lives right near Yao Ming in Katy, Texas. She was in a Best Buy store near her house one day, and when she turned around she ran right in to Yao's crotch. It scared the crap out of her how big he was, she said she just got the hell away from him as fast as she could. This happened to her during his rookie season. She said a small guy with glasses was also with him which was more than likely colin pine.
I ran into Andre Barrett at Chuck E. Cheese's last night. Then again, it might have been just some kid.
