    on Yao's shoulders.

    My two brothers and my little brother's girlfriend
    6:00PM We went to have Cheinese food $40

    7:30PM We arrived at Compaq Center (Free Rockets T-shirt)

    8:00PM Picked up out yaomingfanclub T-shirts (Free). Right after we went to restroom and put them on.

    8:30PM Two bottles of water ($7)
    9:00PM Game Start

    10:05PM Li' Romeo performing. We all got our hands up.(Super!)

    10:30PM We appeared on the big screen. We were waving a giant "YAO MING" banner (2 hours of work).

    11:00PM We were sitting in section 101 waiting to take picture with Yao Ming. Other members of the club gather in 101, 104, 106, and 108

    11:20PM He walked out from the locker room and the crowd got all excited. We were 4 rows up from the court-side. He sat on the top on the barricade. We all rushed down trying to get as close as possible to Yao when the photographer tried to take the picture for all of us. My brother was quick enough and manage to stand right behind Yao and put his hands on Yao's shoulders just right before the pictures were taken. Damn, he was so lucky. After few flashes, he walked to the next section and again sat in front of the first row. About 4 stops, he started walking back and waved to show his appreciation. But crap, many people right behind me (80% of the members) expected more pictures taken because they were told by the yaomingfanclub staff that they all would get the chance have a photo with Yao. They all looked terribly disappointed, especially those kids that got pumped up about the whole thing. I knew this was going to happen because there were about 1500 people waiting and I couldn't imagine how they would be able to pull that off. Hope this organization do a better job next time.

    My brother got lucky. He have his hands on Yao's shoulders. Priceless moment!

    I would like to see another one too, because the clothes on him in this pic is very very ugly.

    Also, his head doesn't appear that big compared with many other people.

    Those threads he has on are the "Dynasty" sweats Steve designed for him. The reason they look funny is because Yao has the top tucked. Steve gave him the clothes, not the "playa" instructions on how to wear them.

    Agreed. This pic is just too ugly it isn't even funny. And those security guards are strange-looking as well.

    Whoa.

    Looks like Yao Ming took a page from the Maurice Taylor Fashion Handbook.

    omigosh... those clothes Yao has on look awful. Baby blue doesn't cut it for a giant. Jeez... Franchise should fire his designer. man, that looks terrible. The other Rox must have set him up and were probably cracking up in the locker room. Yao must have also known he had been pulled a fast one... why else the pissy look.

    :D

    I have more pictures; but I can't figure out how to post them here. Anyone who can write a brief "instruction" here?

    Yes, I am dumb sometimes. :D

    Steve Francis needs to employ a new designer! The sweat suit of Yao Ming is not anything of quality or of destinctive design, infact I could do ten times better!!

    ....Dynasty Wear!!!

    Steve Francis and Nick Van Exel and who owns the clothing line We R One? Is it Sam Cassell? If it is, those two are rough on the court. And then they go out to eat dinner after the game. :)

    Yao clothes...he should stick with Nike.
