Whatever on-court milestones Yao's body never allowed him to achieve, he more than made up for off the court. Yao was so much more than a basketball player. To the Chinese public who adored him, he was a symbol of his home country's possibility. Yao carried the Chinese flag at the Olympic opening ceremonies, soaking in the love of his country.
虽然姚的身体状况让他无法实现自己球场上的目标,他在球场外却做得更多。姚不仅仅是一名篮球运动员。对于崇拜他的中国公众来说,他是祖国潜力的一种象征。姚在奥运会开幕式上作为中国代表团的旗手,沉浸于对自己祖国的热爱中。
The NBA, and basketball in general, has greatly benefited from Yao's emergence. Hoops is hot in China — just witness the Nike-clad kids on the Beijing blacktops, showing off their crossover dribble — largely because of him. Nike executives, and NBA commissioner David Stern, should genuflect at Yao's size-18 feet. A 1.3 billion-strong market is not a bad place to be booming.
NBA,甚至整个篮球界都受益于姚明的出现。只需看看那些在北京室外球场上穿着耐克、玩着交叉步运球的孩子们, (就会发现)篮球在中国如此火热,而这些几乎都可以归功于姚明。耐克公司的决策者们,以及NBA的总裁大卫·斯特恩,都应该对姚明伟岸的身影顶礼膜拜。13亿人的大市场可是难以寻得的啊。
