    I finally beat W&S......


    Summary of this interview:

    1. Ming confirmed that his mom is in Houston, and he will fly to Houston on 10/21 with his father (a 6'10 center).

    2. Ming said that he will think about how to play J O'nail, the dream and M Camby, the first three opponents he will face (he knows Houston's regular season schedule better than many of us)

    3. When asked about Asian Games Final against S Korea, Ming said the Korean Center often complained to the ref, and 'he is not a true man'. Ming also said that he understood everything that center said on court, and that guy spoke English.

    4. Ming is a little frustrated for the loss, but he is not that sad, because he said he is looking forward to the more exciting matches in the NBA.

    Thanks for the link and summary, lovethisgametoo.

    So when Yao gets to the U.S. with his 'visa,' is he going to take a page out of Hakeem's book and "treat [us] guys for lunch?" ;) I know a nice Chinese restaurant in Bellaire, but I'll settle for Tony Roma's. :)

    I'll stop trying to be funny now.

    I'm glad Yao's not coming to the U.S. down about the Asian Games. I thought he would be given how competitive he is.

    He probably won't be playing Hakeem though. The Dream is over, long live Ming.
