Yao Ming on playing Shaq

Houston Chronicle:

Another meeting with Shaquille O'Neal gave Yao Ming a chance to offer his perspective on the standard for his position.

On learning from each time he faces O'Neal, Yao said, "The tuition is a bit too expensive."

On what he would like to learn from O'Neal, Yao said, "What I really want to know is when he's going to retire."

Yao would make a great diplomat.
