You know, Yao, Yao Ming, the center for the Houston Rockets.
Yeah, Yao. So what happened?
You know, Yao has become the best center in the National Basketball Association!
No, you mean like Shaq or something right?
Can’t be Shaq, he has become a part-time player in recent years. Always finding a way to miss major parts of he regular season and then just show up for the playoffs. Yeah, in any one game it would not be smart to bet against …read more
