LOL at the due who fell! and anyone know what Yao said after that? I couldn't understand. Yao also says "He (Carmelo) a good teammate!" haha
A collective shudder just swept across the rest of the league. I think there's a palpable sense of anxiety among the rest of the league front offices right now. They're already all afraid of getting fleeced by Morey, but now they're worried that Yao will be back full force and Melo might end up on a well-balanced Rockets squad. It's hard to underestimate the effect of a 7'5" guy to anchor the defense and who on offense commands a double team on the strong side. Over-optimistic maybe, but hey it's the offseason...
Wow. Have missed that big guy so much. Top class, all the way, anybody who doesn't absolutely love that guy just hasn't been paying attention.
I swear if there is one thing I will miss when Yao is gone, Its his interviews. The guy clearly is level headed and down to earth. Most of the time, it looks like he enjoys the interviews. I love that comment about IPAD video and saying he won't make it for Melo because it might make the Heat better. I just ROFL
He looked like he was pretending to not understand the Carmelo question when the guy asked him the first time so he could stall and have time to think of an answer without giving away the fact that he knew Carmelo is coming here already. Also, hilarious interview.
Sounds like the reporter was saying "cara-mallow"....completely butchered his name like 3 times, so yao didnt understand
when the guy fell down, yao quickly said, "you're not going to miss any games are you?" LOL. good to have the guy back.

This might have been staged to show either cp3 or melo that Yao is fine and that they should want to come to Houston.
If only my name were Adam CLAYTON. (Don't worry, people still call me that all the time...since they apparently only made it to a 3rd grade reading level.) BTW, Yao looked very good IMO...sure, he was rusty and winded as all get out; but he looked sure of himself and didn't lack any contact, courtesy of Chuck Hayes. Made me feel a lot better about the prospects for this upcoming season. 'Melo would solidify that
good pics and thanks for the update to see him just go out and shoot around is just good to see gives some hope for next season
I don't know if the angle can make the right calf look so skinny compared to the left calf. It's about half the size of the other calf. I hope that's not how it looks up close.
