    So I guess that was 4:30 Shanghai time?

    Sorry about the delay guys. I TOTALLY missed everything because I had to run out and do a recording session I forgot about. I'll take a listen tonight but I guarantee it will be on the news tonight.

    Not only can I imagine this, but there's a good chance I'm not imagining it.

    HA! Very true :)

    ball vicing or not, fact remains that Pau Gasol is not in the NBA without his Barcelona team being compensated. 100% free will did not exist in that decision.

    really, what is the average income in China?

    Alright, don't answer that. LOL!

    What I mean is that the NBA's CBA is a socialist doctrine. Relatively speaking, we are screwing these guys more unreasonably than the EU would and Baseball would. So the NBA is not the ones to talk with all this high and mighty pure capitalist, invisible hand ideals. The owners stripped them from the NBA Player's Union.

    Sharks own the contract. We must honor it. Their ball vicing is no different than the LA Clippers drafting your ass.

    Believe me, my ears were filled with this guy's screaming guitars (Dream Theatre-esque stuff) but my head was like:

    "So what's up with Yao Ming's people? Damn, what's up on the BBS?"

    :)

    I found this at New York Post:

    "BENOIT SAYS MING CAN MAKE HUGE IMPACT IN NBA
    New York Post; New York; Apr 4, 2002; MARC BERMAN;


    Abstract:
    After being [Yao Ming]'s teammate since early March and talking English with him on the plane, there's no doubt in [David Benoit]'s mind Ming will be an NBA All-Star, and even compared him to Shaquille O'Neal.

    Benoit also said he believes Ming will be released from his contract to play in the NBA next season only if Shanghai wins a championship. NBA ..."


    I think the contract of Ming and Shanghai Shark has been expired.

    Really just one guy. He's good but it isn't really cup of tea though I know how to record it because I used to play that type of stuff. Really nice guy and a good guitarist, but I felt very distracted by Yao. :)

    Benoit got humiliated by Liu Yu Dong in the CBA finals. And luckily he got Yao's help.
