    It was said this commercial was taken right before Big Yao had the surgery in early March.

    Can anyone confirm whether those scenes (the skyscrappers, the park, the stadium) belongs to Houston?

    thats the park in front of toyota center.

    the very very very first building looks like the old Enron Building.


    and it looks like the inside of toyota center, but the paint is different.

    When I first saw this commercial, I thought most of the scenes were done by Computer Graphics, cos I don't know how can they get that many Chinese temps/stand-ins for the commercial in Houston.

    I remember one time I went to the Rockets game during Yao's rookie year and saw the Yao's Fan Club almost filled half of the arena.

    Funny how they show him dunking - as if a 7'6 man dunking is supposed to be impressive. He barely even jumps.

    Yes, the skyline is Houston. That's the 'new' Enron building in the first sequence.

    Reebok was recruiting people in Houston to shoot this commercial.

    Reebok shoes are horrible. A lot of their other stuff sucks as well. I am glad the NBA switched to adidas.

    Yao should, too.

    I bought a pair of Reebok shoes in middle school. Wore it once and never touched it again.

    Indeed a meaningful ad, thanks for sharing Pryuen.

    No wonder he was so unlucky to injuries...considering the negative power generated by those bandwagon fans here. :rolleyes:

    I am sad that Yao is still in contract with Reebok. Reebok sucks big time and contributes to Yao's repeated injury. So stop advertise Reebok here.
