Yao Ming: New Center Style

If 20 years ago you asked the average American basketball fan if a Chinese man could play center in for an NBA team. His answer might have sounded something like this:" Ha Ha, no. They're They'd been too short!" But now, the doubters are silent. Who closed their mouths? Houston Rockets, 2.26-meter-tall center Yao Ming, from China.
Yao Ming grew up in a family of basketball players. When he was 12, Yao Ming started going to an athletics academy outside of Shanghai and Later he spent a lot of time starting NBA games televised in China.
All this has paid off. YaoMing's first honer was he is ranking as Number-One draft pick. and He's been elected for an Rockie-of-the-Mouth award. Yao Ming has a style different from those of tall centers in the past. He rarely goes for a flashy slams. He'd rather show off his silk-smooth free-throw shots, or use his height to pop in jump shots from the three-point line.

Yes,prison desensitizes you.
But it also forces you to see what's most important.Family. And loyalty.
Because a con like you knows neither exists in this place.
So don't run from who you've become,felon.Embrace it.Grow from it.
　　　　
And you'll never lose sight of what truly matters.That's my final piece of advice,Wade Porter.
You protect your family at all costs. Even if you're forced to kill again.
