    Thanks for the compliment.

    Actually I planned to post some of the activities, photos and translate an interview of Shaquille O'Neal in China whereupon he talked about Yao Ming; but I was p@$$ed that the moderator removed my Shaquille O'Neal in China to somewhere else, so I was in no mood to do the translation or report and post the photos/activities of Shaq in China............. :eek:

    Bear are the best fighters among animals, they dominate tigers and lions and other supposedly great fighters. Oh, they are not extinct like the dinosaurs either. ;)

    I think Shaq might have meant that him and Mourning are getting ancient like Dinosaurs.

    :D as much as i like shaq as a player i think you over estimated his intelligence and knowledge about chinese culture. what i meant is that i doubt he understands that black bear in chinese - 狗熊 - has negative meaning. ;)

    You have not made this up in your "Let the Pictures tell the Story".

    In the above articles, it did mentioned Yao Ming is the one that stood out amongst the rest of his team mates in terms of his involvement, condition and form in the first team practice of the national team in Sapporo.

    He first blocked Yi Jianlian's shot.

    He then handled the ball from back court, ran at full speed, and with a behind-the-back dribble, finished with a lay-up. A typical from-coast-to-coast fast break 一条龙快攻.

    So is Yao moving over to PG and pushing Rafer to the bench?

    BTW, that black bear is moldy looking and moth-eaten.
