October 12th: Yao Ming was interviewed at the NBA China game recently.

When asked what conditions are needed in the Chinese basketball world for another player to follow in his footsteps and compete in the NBA, Yao Ming said: "This is a good question. If possible, I would like to ask you in another way: Do we often follow our parents' advice? I'm afraid not. There are so many."

"So I think the younger generation needs to...find their own path and make their own way in life, and I want to be the one to cheer them on and help them when they need it."
