Great pictures windandsea Can you imagine how intimidating yao will be if he ever develops a pair of shoulders Seriously though, he looks very strong in the legs and I love the way he is getting more and more confident. Excellent signs.
Yao's legs are HUGE!! Vince has got to be standing on a box in those other pics. Yao is easily a head taller.
LOL Am I the only one who found this absolutely hilarious? The thought of Yao talking like that gives me the giggles.
No I found that to be rather stupid & pathetic if you ask me. Let me make up for it with a nice article about Vince & Yao to redeem that absolutely horrible comedy routine. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/1506947 July 24, 2002, 10:14AM Vince Carter: Yao Ming will be successful in NBA Associated Press BEIJING -- The Toronto Raptors' Vince Carter faced off against Houston Rockets top draft choice Yao Ming today and predicted that China's new NBA sensation will be successful in the pros "because he is high and he has skills." Carter, visiting Beijing, joined Yao to play a two-on-two half-court game today at the stadium of the Chinese National Training Administration. Each had a tiny child as a teammate. "He's gonna to be successful because he is high, and he has skills," said Carter, quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency. The 7-foot-4 Yao was the No. 1 overall NBA draft pick last month, tapped by the Rockets. He hasn't reported yet, pending final permission from his Chinese club, the Shanghai Sharks, and the Chinese Basketball Administration. "If you give me three to four weeks to see how he plays, and how he adjusts, I can tell you (if) he is good or not," Carter said. "There are a lot of people from the world playing in the NBA, and lots of people struggled at first." Carter recalled his first impression of Yao. "I said to myself, `He's tall. I'm going to dunk over him,'" Carter said. But, he quipped, "Now I don't want to."
In that article it says that Yao is 7-4 According to ESPN Insider, Yao is 7'6" 1/4 I think. The guy who wrote that article must not know a lot about Ming.
I nearly blew Pepsi out my nose over this one: "Vince: Hey Yao, you dropped your dentures! Here they are! Yao: slurihhhhhhhhhhswthht. Tank... (shuffles) Thanks Vwince." LMAO
So this is a nike goodwill tour to China in order to get their name out there, huh? Not a bad idea to bring out Carter. I had no idea Carter was the biggest b-ball star in Europe, according to Courtside. Any more evidence to this being the case? Later
I thought Ming was supossed to be working out "hard" with the national team; so hard that he wouldn't be able to come to Houston untill after preseason.
