In 2004, former Rockets All-Star center Yao Ming was the subject of a
documentary entitled "The Year of the Yao," which chronicled his first year
in the U.S and the NBA.
Pretty soon, production on the "The Year of the Lin" will need to get
started for Jeremy Lin -- and, if so, you can guarantee Yao will be included
. But that won't happen only because of the Asian connection. Lin and Yao
are actually very close friends.
"I talk to Yao after every game," said Lin, who took part in Yao's
foundation tour in Taiwan in August 2010. "He's taken me out to eat every
time we're in the same city. He's obviously a role model and a big brother
and mentor to me. We keep in touch all the time."
For nine seasons, Yao was the Asian ambassador of the NBA, but unfortunately
various injuries cut his career short, and he retired last summer. Could
Lin take over that prestigious position? With the way word spreads around
the world nowadays, especially though the advent of social media, that may
have already happened.
