    Just curious...

    If his name is Wang Zhizhi then why does his jersey say Wang? Is his name Zhizhi Wang or Wang Zhizhi...or is it a Chinese 'thang' and I just don't understand??

    Also Barkley had a funny comment about his first game, which was against the Hawks.. he said, (something along the lines of) "Be sure to tell Wang that not all teams in the NBA are like the Hawks!"

    I thought that was pretty funny.

    In China, your surname comes first I believe.

    ...that's right, surname first, your family being more important than yourself.

    Yeah that might that have been funny if his previous comments hadn't been, (paraphrasing) "It's pretty sad that the Mavericks couldn't find a good enough player to draft from America that they had to go pick a guy off the streets in China. Wang thinks he's pretty good but he's not, he's too weak and he'll get pushed around by the NBA players. Be sure to tell Wang that not all teams in the NBA are like the Hawks!"

    I know this probably not a good thing to say on the Rockets board, but Barkley is a real a$$hole for saying stuff like that. He is so full of himself and criticizes everyone in the world like he knows everything. It pisses my off.

    Hey Mavs fan you know what? Barkley is a a##hole! But I love him anyways! [​IMG]

    Anyways I think this Wang guy might actually turn out to be pretty decent. Dont go around paying attention to what Barkley has to say.
