Yao Ming
Sport is the best means of communication between people from different religions and countries.
Yao Ming
I feel that the All-Star game is more like a party because its made up of a lot of elements. However the core of All-Star is still the 48 minute-game and all the fans will pay all attention to the showcase of the players excellent skills. The result of the game is not much of a concern.
Yao Ming
Kobe's heart is as strong as his muscles.
