I totally agree with the author of the article and with CD, leave the man alone. Yao has even said it himself that he needs a break from the Chinese national program. He has spent his whole life fullfilling the obligations of China's ambitions. I truly hope Yao quits the Chinese National Team and focuses all of his energy on the NBA, in particular the Houston Rockets. Now that the Rockets have Artest, with a healthy T-Mac and a healthy Yao, they can bring home another championship to Houston. Go Rockets!!!
