The first time Shaquille O' Neal faced off with 姚明 Yao Ming , the game was treated like a heavyweight fight. In this episode of “Storytime with Shaq”, RO PARRISH talks to Diesel about that game and his relationship with Yao throughout their careers. | NBA TV

Shaquille O'Neal was the NBA's most powerful center, but when he learned that China's Yao Ming was coming to the best league in the world, he treated him in the worst possible way. Shaq would be extremely harsh with the Asian, causing a huge scandal in the US. However, the relationship would take an amazing turn. Yao would teach Shaq a powerful lesson in their first confrontation, and O`Neal would regret his words. | Rebound

Sheeesh. Come to think of it he kinda looks like YAO MING! Haha Man, this guy gotta be a professional basketball player somewhere, he is 7’8 tall and has the body of a basketball player. Yao Ming during his time was a great time for Asian fans as we had a Chinese person actually dominated the NBA, too bad his career got cut short with the injuries, but I think he is having a great time right now being and making a difference in his country, China. | Neon Man
