Yao has been doing th whole "NY media tour" here lately to boost sales of his new memoir, "A Life In Two Worlds" He will be doing a book signing tomorrow, 1:00 PM at Barnes & Noble at Rockefeller Center and the NBA Store on Wednesday. Yesterday he was on Fox News. This morning, he was on Today. Wednesday, he will be on "Regis and Kelly." And sometime later on in the week, he is suposed to make an appearance on Letterman.
During this week, its become quite obvious that Yao is "Americanizing" as his English has gotten dramatically better.
And with that, has Yao also learned the American art of trash talking? View this quote from his book and decide for yourself.
. . . In his new book, Rockets center Yao Ming translates the Chinese script tattoos of Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. "His letters mean, 'Not aggressive' or 'indecisive.' " Yao writes. "Anyone who has seen Kenyon play knows he isn't like that."
Link.....Scroll to bottom According to Nugs fans, Kenyon jabbed back on local radio saying his tattoo's mean "never satisfied." He also questioned Yao's ability to comprehend to Chinese language and said Yao will get a better look at those tattoo's on his arm this season, as he runs him over on the way to a dunk. :rofl:
Ohh, all this talk. The season starts in a month......I cant wait.
