Vescey's Chinese Exhibition
If you're wondering why the NBA chose to schedule
those Rockets/Kings pre-season games in China, it wasn't to sell more Yao Ming
jerseys. It was so the Post's Peter Vescey would have an excuse to
run with the following :
As the league's two-game (Rockets/Kings) exhibition in China embarked, David Stern was asked if it was a bit intimidating to visit a country of a billion people. "Not really," he said. "We have Shawn Kemp and Calvin Murphy hard at work trying to bridge that gap."
Dikembe Mutombo certainly has come a long way. During his first trip to China, his roommate was Marco Polo, and the Great Wall was nothing more than a rickshaw speed bump.
