    Article should be in the NBA Daily, friday edition.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TIME cites Yao's popularity in the world's most populated nation, his habit for sending polite holiday cards and how he has changed the landscape of the NBA with "his size and shooting touch, his team-first attitude and self-deprecating humor" as reasons for his selection. TIME's final assessment: ?Turns out the new Michael is a man named Ming.? </div>
