Yao’s Spirit
• Para.5 • We live in the age where freshmen with even the slightest amount of talent thump their chests and cry out loudly for attention. Sadly, the game of basketball has turned from a game with players who worked together as a team to a group of players led by one man. They chase their one-man show in order to promote themselves over their teams, but Yao Ming is changing all that. Yao hops off the bench during a time-out to hand his teammates towels to wipe the sweat out of their eyes. You will rarely see him celebrate some achievement he has accomplished , but he will be the first one to high-five one of his teammates, or pat them on the back whether or not they make the shot.
