Many youngsters are trying to play basketball more that other sports like table-tennis & soccer. China is exceptional in table tennis. But Houston Rockets is the place every youngsters dream about. It is the fame & the money!! Sadly many youngsters have forgotten about Sun Jihai & Li Tie. They are playing professional football in England. They don't earn as much money as Yao Ming so they are not so high-profiled. Hopefully kids remember that there may never be another Yao Ming. And they should continue to play and to excel in other sports. I love watching table tennis. Players have such quick reflexes, it is amazing. Amazing!!

In fact, China has many many physical training schools in every province. Children who has certain talent will be sent to study in the school. Yao Ming is a good example. If you don't have talent in basketball, you will never become Yao Ming.
