Moving to the US was quite a transition for me, to say the least! There were, and still are so many new things to get used to: the language, food, culture, even the style of basketball is different here!

All of the Chinese people, the Asian people say, "Oh Yao Ming, you are all the Chinese, all of Asia's hopes." That's a lot of pressure. I'm just a basketball player.

I understand basketball is not my entire life. It's only a part of my life. And there are a lot of other things that interest me a great deal ... other goals to seek, and this is how I have balance in life.

Sport is the best means of communication between people from different religions and countries.

Every sound in the gym is so fantastic. The screams of the fans, the whistle of the ref, the teammates calling to each other, the sounds of the ball touching the wooden floor, the sneakers touching the floor, and the sounds of the fight, the muscle and the sweat. Oh, and the last one-when the ball goes through the net. Don't laugh at my sensitivity and romanticism - those sounds really attract me.

I only want to play basketball, and play it well and be happy about it. But I realize that with being famous, comes a lot of demands.

Others are improving very fast, and I'm not improving as fast, and that bothers me.

The Olympic Games is holy. Athletes from around the world, including myself, of course, dream to participate.

Westerners respect privacy, and they are very competitive in terms of work and personalities. My teammates in China and I can talk about everything. But with my Houston Rockets teammates, even though we're friends, we cannot ask each other about everything.

No matter whether you are new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another.

When I was young, we were taught not to dunk. We were taght not to stand out from the rest of the team. It's different now.
