    Great interview with Yao... interesting discussion at the end about what he thought about the state of Chinese basketball.

    Imagine if he had played along side Mutombo since the start of his career. It would be the Cookie Monster with a Chinese accent.

    Yao's english is pretty awesome in this interview. It's strange how sometimes he's easier to understand than other times. And NO he does not sound black..

    Some very good questions asked here.
    Yao speaks with such a realistic and honest manner, and has such an obvious kindness and care for his people. How could you dislike and root against this guy? (leebigez)

    Have I mentioned lately how much I love Yao? He's like this ordinary guy in this extraordinary body. Very smart guy.

    I loved the bit about the Chinese basketball where he said that all they do is what the coach instructs them to do, but in the game you have to adjust to what's going on and not depend on the coach to tell you.

    Good stuff... thanks for the post!

    I bet Yao is thinking, "Yeah, I could hit that if I wanted to"

    I like how Yao says black people are more athletic, but dumb as a box of rocks.


    Oh, that's not what he said?
