Strange

After Houston fell to the Mavs, Yao has made a rather interesting decision:

'Yao Ming will not play for the Chinese national team this year and plans to spend his summer in Houston on holiday.
"I just want to relax," Yao said. "I don't want to do anything. I'm not too used to being relaxed."'

Not that we really think China is a Communist country anymore, but it is nice to see them let Yao take some time off... I wonder if it is because of the rise of capitalism over there, or if they want him to have a break because they think the only reason he doesn't have a title is because they are making him play so much?
