    Tell me how would you feel if your every move was looked at by the entire world ..looking at you as some sort savior or some sort basketball god...When he is just someone with the gift of playing a game ...I mean a game mind you not someone that just saved the world or invented the next hoola hoop

    If every where you went someone you didnt know was putting a camara your face ..

    Well for me it would be hard to smile alot ....but if I had to smile I would think of all that money they are going to pay me for a game then it wouldnt be so hard ( I THINK ).....:cool:

    It was not a very serious question, guys. More of a rhetorical one. Note all the smilies at the end?

    Relax.

    I like the fact that he doesn't smile much. Mean and intimidating. He'll smile when he hoists the championship trophy.

    Yao is entering a new phase in his life and basketball career.
    Is there any news about getting the FIBA clearance?
    I don't think he can play in the pre-season games without it.

    Why didn't Yao Ming visit his middle school and high school too? But I do know he visited the college he is attending. Will he graduate from there one day?

    Heh heh...LOL! :)

    Well, I think that guy on the right (looks 6'0), would look down on Calvin.

    Yao's father (on the left) is 6'10" (Hakeem height). Yaowza!

    I still can't believe we got the #1 pick. I feel like we stole from somebody and RudyT is going to get walked off in handcuffs any minute now.
