The Houston Rockets with a pair of titles to their credit couldn't get
the job done last year, but with some skillful moves/trades they may be a
serious contender for the Bulls. Hakeem sure is a big help to the Dream
team.

The Rockets should make a major move for Charles Barkley if they want to
give the Bulls a run next year.

Well, the Rockets couldn't knock off the Jazz, but they sure

They came close to beating the Jazz just like the Jazz came close to beating the
Bulls. But close doesn't count for much.

Yao, in a Q&A with the Denver Post:
Q: Would you like to be more popular than Tiger Woods?
A: "It's not something that I would really want. It's too tiring."
Q: What are your favorite English words?
A: "Last question."

"He is a great person. He is a wonderful person. He has a great sense of
humor," he said. "He is 22-years-old, but he is mature beyond his years. And
it is funny, at 29, I think I can learn a lot from him."
And Yao is learning a lot from his translator, Colin Pine, who lives with
Yao and his parents in a house in suburban Houston.
"His English is getting better and better. We talk in English a lot. Just to
practice, we try to have conversations in English," he said. "You know, he
will be independent and that is the goal. I do not know at what time [when].
But it is going to happen sooner, rather than later."
Pine says Yao is getting used to life in the United States.
"He has been here several times before, so I do not think it is as much of
an adjustment as people think. He does not have a lot of time to go out and
see things, so I think it is tough," Colin said. " But I think he adapts
well to everything. So, I think, no matter where he is, or would be, he
would be able to adapt. "
