    LOL You are most welcome. I thought it was pretty funny myself. Worse than watching my 5th grade girls team! ;) At least they know "It's all about the fundamentals"

    Chrome wheels, really. I would have thought Ye and Yao would have signed up for Cuisanart stainless steel pots and pans at the bridal registry and not chrome wheel rims at Autozone. :)

    LOL, I like how the article implies that a 7-series is some sort of humble, low-profile car...

    I like reading this cause I used to Hate Shaq so much but I guess the older he has gotten the more mature he has grown !! He really respects Yao and he should !He's the best center in the NBA

    Its kind of classless to publicly declare you are invited to someone's wedding if you don't know whether you have been invited or not. I don't know what Yao and Shaq's relationship is but if they aren't close I could see lots of reason's why he wouldn't invite Shaq. Maybe he wants to keep his ceremony in the US small, to his teammates and close friends. Now that Shaq has publicly said he is invited though if Yao doesn't invite him it will look bad.

    Shaq's always a clown in the locker room. It seems like a Shaq thing to do to invite himself for the US celebration. I think Yao sent him an Xmas card once, so Shaq assumed he's automatically invited.

    OOOKAAAYYYYYY!

    Hahaha! I had the same reaction when I was reading the article. Probably if your getting paid like Shaq or Yao, it might be a beater car ala Honda Civic to them. But to our middle class pockets, a 7-series would be like buying a house with wheels. I really don't like the 7-series though. Too many electrical problems. I'd rather stick with a 3-ci, 5 series, or ever better, an m3 or an m5 too bad my broke self can't afford those LUXURY cars. Lol. :(

    Why does Shaq always look fit and skinny during the summer on these tours and then when you see him on TV again during the season he looks really really fat again?

    actually, shaq was asked who's the MDC or the best in NBA on the tour and he replied he still is and Yao needs 5 rings to take that title. it's on sina a couple days ago. apart from that, he generally says things the chinese fans want to hear. he's in china after all.

    24-inch rims are for has-beens. Real ballers roll on 26's.

    That's Shaq's way of jokingly telling Yao he wants to get invited. Shaq is a class guy and a funny guy.
