Yao Ming an Inspiration
Yao Ming an inspiration to any basketball player. He was a chinese athlete who was the first to play in the NBA. He did not get there easily. It took pride, power, and dedication. He started basketball when he was kid. His parents taught him the game(Young 16). His parents were both professional basketball players(Young 15-16). His father was on the Chinese National Team(Young 15-16). His mother played in the olympics for the chinese(Young 15-16). Yao didn't like basketball at first it started to grow on him as he got older although he reached the height of an average adult when he was in the third grade but he peeked at 7 feet 5 inches(Young 20). As he got older he became considerably better at the game, mostly because of the height that he grew to. He became quite quick for a tall man which also helped his basketball career. He eventually became as fast as a small forward but as big as a center(Young 27). Yao was a player and should be recognized for the achievements that he has earned.
Yao started young playing basketball. His parents taught him the game at a very young age(Young 15-16). His father played on the chinese national team(Young 15-16). His mother played on the Olympic team for china(Young 15-16). He was exposed to the game so early that he really didn't like it that much at all. He wasn't even interested in playing basketball until he got older and considerably better at the game. Yao reached adult height in the third grade. This helped him start playing more and more. He was getting better every day. He eventually became as fast as a small forward but as big as a center.
Yao’s dream was to play in the NBA. He wanted to go to the top of the basketball world. He would eventually get his wish. He had to go through a lot to get there but he would get there. But first he had to start here at the chinese national team. The national team was a good experience but it wasn't the NBA. Yao’s team was called
