Nike had just signed contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks. We had a little party to introduce ourselves and get to know the players. A few of us were there when the team walked in. they looked normal, most about six foot four or so. Then, a thin, baby-faced guy about seven foot five came in. We were all surprised at seeing him. We couldnt believe his size. And when he started hitting three-pointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the U.S. didn’t believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall. To convince them, we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer. Yao had always played against kids who were older than him. This was the first time he was competing with players his own age. Del Harris, then the Lakes coach, was at the camp. He fell in love with Yao Ming. He was telling everybody, “I got to have a picture with that kid. One day he’s going to have a real impact on the NBA.” 姓名：姚明（Yao Ming）生日：1980.9.12星座：处女座民族：汉族性别：男身高：7英尺6英寸（2.26米）体重：305磅（141公斤）出生地：中国上海祖籍：江苏苏州吴江震泽国籍：中国曾效力球队：CBA 上海东方大鲨鱼现效力球队：NBA 休斯敦火箭现任主教练：里克·阿德尔曼位置：中锋
