Comments on: NY Times article: Beijing to Halve Traffic for Games http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2008/01/23/ny-times-article-beijing-to-halve-traffic-for-games Where fans of Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets can find out the latest on Yao Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:27:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: kho http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2008/01/23/ny-times-article-beijing-to-halve-traffic-for-games#comment-10159 kho Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:40:34 +0000 http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2008/01/23/ny-times-article-beijing-to-halve-traffic-for-games#comment-10159 I just wanted to say thanks again to John for doing this. The Olympics are coming up and I happen to be working on the Olympic Project in Beijing. We got 193 days before the August 8th(8 PM)=Opening Ceremony and I'm starting to get pretty excited! If I happen to find any interesting news regarding the Games(which I often do), I'll be sure to send it to John. I've been an avid reader since I found the website several years back. Back then, John had all of Yao's hit/missed shots in a handy chart and play by play action so whenever I missed a game(Rarely would I be able to watch a Houston Game back in Northern California), I would always check the site. I wanted to give props to John for all his hard work and dedication throughout the years. I think Yao's presence in the league has really been great for Asians(and definitely for all of us Asian Americans as well!) Lastly, I'm glad yaomingmania has been a huge part of my experience and let's wish the Rox a better second half of the season! <em> Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm really flattered by it. Aahh, the shot charts and play-by-play...that takes me back. I wish I could have kept doing them, but they were so time consuming to create, I had to stop. But I think they served their purpose at the time, which was to let people who had never seen Yao play before be able to visualize what he was doing. Now with alot of games being broadcast overseas and all the national TV games he has played since his rookie year, fortunately alot of his fans now know what his shots look like. -- John</em> I just wanted to say thanks again to John for doing this.
