Yup, you've any problem about it? To others, please let me know if the photos didn't show up properly.
I believe your itinerary is final as TMac said so in his own blog. It was pretty messy regarding TMac's itinerary in this trip earlier, no matter the actual dates and venues.
Earlier I said there will be a surprise in this trip but turn out THE STAR didn't come to China as expected. It was supposed to be our beloved Spoiler Cuttino Mobley The other Stars who have joined this trip are (I can only guess base on their translated Chinese names and their profile in a couple words so bear with me here) Shawn Dockery (ex Duke player) Bryon Russell (the you-know-which-team player) Rasuall Butler (Clippers) Sherlock Baylor (?? this is the toughest one, no profile, couldn't find a closer name via basketball-reference.com) Dennis Scott (probably the ex Magic player?) Joe Bryant (Jellybean, Kobe's father) [Edit] Oh, courtesy hoopchina.com for the player names here http://bbs.hoopchina.com/852622.html

Haha, yes, that's how the Chinese media wrote his profile too. "Bryon Russell, ex you-know-which-team player, he's the one who guarded Michael Jordan's THE SHOT".
No problem, it just seems odd. Did she do something special like save a kid from a burning building? If not, how did he come to idolize her? Is volleyball that big of a sport in China? I can't think of many professional male athletes saying they have female sports idols. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I was actually wondering initially if you made a mistake in saying she was his idol.
I am very sure I read somewhere Yao told the Chinese reporters that Lang Ping is his childhood idol. He respects Lang so much that he often bought/gave tickets to Lang Ping to watch his games (Lang was living with her daughter in US). Lang Ping led the Chinese Women Volley Ball team dominating the sport in 80s. She is a legend of the sport. I believe Chinese Women Volley Ball Team is the first team to won the top positions of team sport events (both Olympics and World Championships) for PRC.
I think pryuen had that story 2 and 1/2 years back on the forum. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=2826996&postcount=1
somewhere i think pryuen is pissed that some newbs don't know about his legendary yao specific threads.
How can I forget Pryuen in this case? And I keep searching the Chinese reports via sina and sohu! Stupid me! The Chinese article I mentioned earlier, written by Zhang Yi. http://sports.sohu.com/20070228/n248418338.shtml Lang Ping's blog recording her meeting with Yao in LA where Yao treated the ladies a dinner and tickets to his game against Lakers in year 2007. http://langpingblog.blog.sohu.com/40137968.html Thanks again wireonfire!
