NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson talked to reporters during the Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am Golf Tournament.

Question: Mr. Iverson, what is the difference between competing on the basketball court and competing on the golf course against Yao Ming?

Allen Iverson: For me, that is an easy question to answer. I have a huge respect for the guys that play that game. It is such a hard game and I never knew how hard it was until today. Playing gave me a whole other respect for the guys that play- especially the very talented ones.

Question: What sport would you, Allen Iverson, challenge Yao Ming at?

Allen Iverson: Definitely not weightlifting. Maybe basketball or a game I thought I had a chance of beating him at.

Question: What do you guys (Yao and Iverson) talk about?

Iverson: Nothing in particular - we joke around about games or on the golf course.

Yao Ming (chipped in): We mostly talked about how bad our teammates were making us look because of how talented they are.

Question: Who is the better player between the both of you (Allen Iverson and Yao Ming)?

Iverson: Yao is the better player. This is my first time. I can tell he has been playing.

Question: Mr. Iverson, what other sport would you like to compete against Yao Ming at?

Allen Iverson: Weightlifting; no, definitely not weightlifting.

Question: How are you feeling about your first trip to Hainan?
