Yao Ming-mania hit Canada on March 5, as the Rockets made their first visit to Toronto with Yao in the lineup. Yao scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the Rockets' 97-95 victory that featured a large turnout from Toronto's 400,000-person strong Asian community. He attracted approximately 50 media members from the city's Asian television, radio and newspaper outlets. A Rockets spokesman said it was by far the biggest media turnout for Yao in any NBA city. In October, Yao might be bringing his American teammates and foes to China. League officials are talking to the Kings about playing two exhibition games games against the Rockets, tentatively set for Oct. 17 in Beijing and Oct. 19 in Shanghai. </div> I think this can only do good things for basketball. But i think they cant just goto china because of yao ming. They need to goto Germany Croatia England Italy France. Make basketball a World Sport.
O man, why the KINGS??? They're such a good team... Yao will just get shamed in China.. They need to find a crappier team heheh...
yao will really shine tho. He'll put divac to shame. the reason its the kings, is because its a market more familiar with. California has the highest number of asian people. Take a team like memphis to china, and ask a local to point out memphis on a map....
Wouldn't NY or Chicago be a much better team to play against? They're worse and have a pretty big Asian fan base.
