I met briefly with Bill Sanders of Team Yao yesterday in LA, and he told me the story that Yao will be making a cameo in a Taiwanese film is NOT true. We didn’t have time to go into the details, but I’m guessing it was a publicity stunt by the film producers. I will not go into the name of the film or the producers involved in this rumor. No need to give them more attention than they deserve.

What’s amazing to me is all the media coverage this untrue story received. After I reported on it, I saw the same story in the Houston Chronicle, and even on NBA.com.
