On the first page of C.E.Xiao's biography of NBA superstar Yao Ming he asks:“Who in the world does not recognize Yao Ming?”This is good question.Provided you havf a television and read the news,it's imposstble to be unaware of China's favorite son.This biography reads like a collection of interesting stories;more than praising Yao's on-court skills.Xiao's book celebrates his laid-back sense of humor and keen work ethic.
