Yao Ming Quotations

I think before we (left) Houston that this trip would maybe be a turning point for out team. We are like a new team. It started that first night, when we played Sacramento. We had some trouble in that game (falling behind by 14) but did not give up.

I'm getting fat... because my size, I put on 20 or 30 pounds, it doesn't show very much... I'm thinking about going back to work out in a very short time.

When I was young, we were taught not to dunk. We were taught not to stand out from the rest of the team. It's different now.

We didn't end the game well. We were ahead by nine points with about three minutes left and then we didn't handle the ball well against the full court press. It became (a close) game. We have to know our opponent's strength.

I think we'll have a good year. Right now, Tracy and me have one year of experience. We know how to play together.

The talk has got to change, ... We need to do it for ourselves -- talk the talk and walk the walk.

One is taller. The other is shorter.

I don't really have anything to say. Basketball is not a game that you can play with your mouth. It needs action to prove yourself.

Hometown is like my quilts. Sometimes when you are in sweet dreams, you don't feel it's comfortable.

There is a phrase in Chinese, 'Resolve is victory.'
