    Thanks for sharing.

    What Big Yao needs now is more respects from those referees !!!

    BTW, for those people watching the video, in that scene of Rick Adelman, the Chinese dude by his side is no one but Rock Wang Meng of Titan Sports.

    So not everything from him were fake and mock up stories. He is omni-present everywhere there in Houston (and travelling with the team as well) covering news of Yao Ming and the Rockets.

    The trouble is when he paints the picture a certain way instead of just taking the snapshot.

    Compare T-Mac to Keyshawn Johnson. Keyshawn won a ring with Tampa. No, he didnt have 85 catches with 1500 yards and 10 TDs during the season, but he became part of the team and helped them to win a Super Bowl. Talk to him now, and he says that the stats dont matter because he has a RING.

    I think T-Mac will have no problem if a reduced ball handling role leads to a ring.

    Tmac wished he could be on the court so that he could hug Yao instead of Deke! ;)

    Tmac hugging Deke from the back is the funniest thing ever! lol I wish I had Deke to hug when watching exciting moments in Rockets games and hide behind him (instead of my couch) in scary moments. :D

    You actually get a good look at Malik Rose's face right before Yao jams on him. I'd swear from his facial expression that he's thinking "Well, this sucks".

    Great video. Thanks Riz!

    1. Good to see Mac and Francis there with their teammates.

    2. Great to see the cheering from the whole bench when Yao made those amazing dunks.

    3. It is really uplifting to see the team being a team. We should all be grateful... we could have been supporting the New York Knicks you know :D

    I really like the spin moves in the first windmill dunk. Actually there were two spin moves in that dunk, the first spin move was sooooo fast!

    And if you have noticed, after he was thrown away, Rose felt so embarrassed that he didn't even want to stand up :D

    I am surprised by the support that Yao got in NY. Just take a look at fans behind the basket jumping up after he dunked on Rose.

    I just hope all the 'trade' news on T-mac arent true and at the very least, those wont hurt T-mac's feelings. I hope I am just shortsighted on this. No one will likely fit into RA's system quick enough to guarantee us a postseason spot and T-mac has been playing here for four years. If he is able to do the adjustment, he will be the best option for the Rockets.

    Unless GM has a long-term plan, we'd better keep T-mac.

    That had a very "Inside the NFL" type feel to it. That'd be cool if they had a similar show for the NBA, but I guess there's too many games in a given week.

    nice video...wish it was longer.

    Thanks for the video, it was great! I was at the game too in MSG and everyone was cheering for Yao here! I mean everyone! not just asians but blacks, whites, hispanics, young, old, male, female! It was an amazing experience. Yao was just a monster, everything looked so easy for him.

    Man thats why I hate all these trade TMac talks. I mean he genuinely likes Yao and there is no other player as good as TMac who will get along with Yao the way he does. He even said in interviews that Yao is more of a franchise player than he is, YOFs needs to just chill and get off TMac's back. That being said, I hope when TMac comes back we can continue winning all the way to the championship!
