Man, why do I trust this guy to make good, common sense decisions? It's weird the way my perception of him was informed by his work ethic, sense of humor, humility, etc. I really don't know THAT much about Yao, apart from what I've seen as a Rockets fan.
What you are experiencing is the result of very sofisticated commie propaganda. What, you thought propaganda hasn't evolved since WW2? Believe me, China is pumping out these ideal humans with characteristics like having an elite work ethic, sense of humor, humility etc. Don't believe anything these people say or do, it is all an act to make you trust them. You know this Lin guy, right? He's their new prototype, but this time with an added feature of being Christian.
