Hi everyone, Yao Ming here. I appreciate all the love but what I’d like more is for everyone to get an early night’s sleep so they’re fresh for the draft tomorrow.
Very cool, Yao. Thanks!
Thank yao
Thank Yao, very much!
We out here learning Mandarin for real
Now we can watch Julius Randle next year!
Truzz Yao
Ok Yao Ming thank you for being Yao Ming
is it really yao ming?
ni hao
Sorry I ever doubted you.
That’s Chinese, btw.
No, that’s Yao Ming
He’s right though, Yao Ming is Chinese.
I guess to be fair I’ve never seen Yao Ming and Chinese in the same room at the same time.
oh shit it is
Good enough for me
ni hao Yao
Speak a little Chinese for em, Yao
Yao hao
Yao Ming, can you speak a third language, not English or Chinese?
~Shaq
Konnichiwa, bitches.
Ni Yao
Yoooooooo
Holy shit that’s Yao Ming
He just said he was Yao Ming, what else do you need him to prove?
And has the China flair, I’m sold
Mod label, too. Seems legit.
Mod label sounds like it could be a wine from Yao Ming Wines. Just further proof its him
I knew Reddit mods were cool. Even Yao is one
168 is also a lucky number in Chinese culture too.
I love how it’s just “I’m just Yao Ming. Get some sleep for the draft tomorrow” with no proof… Yet it’s going to completely work for its intended purpose lol. Case in point, I had completely forgotten the draft was tomorrow, but I’m not gonna forget now.
The best way to spread draft eve cheer, is a yao post on reddit we all hold dear.
I love you for this.
do the yao ming face meme?
Oh my god, Wemby too?! Who’s next? Jordan Poole?
Plus, Yao Ming has spoken many times about his abiding interest in mass transit options in Melbourne.
Right he said it—are who are you gonna believe, Yao Ming or some guy on the internet?
The posting account is nick168 so I can’t imagine why not.
“Nick” is short for Yao
This comment is hilarious lmao
Yao Kerr is Steve’s other son
Comment of the Thread 👏
Also seems to be interested in Australian Football. Just what I’d expect from Yao.
You calling Yao a liar?
Yeah he better not be calling Yao a liar, because Yao is definitely not that.
And if any of you happen to know Yao or ever come across Yao, you can tell him that u/BobbywiththeJuice and u/SeismicRipFart said that.
Re-read the post. Says so right in the first sentence.
Yes.
Look how tall his post his
How could it not be?
Have a very Chinese night everyone
That’s just a regular night for me
Yeah but do it as if you were Chinese. Can you imagine?
Hes so Chinese already that a Chinese night is just a night to him
I’ve never been that Chinese before
But have you try though?
Hey Yao speak a lil Chinese for em
Do that shit off the menu we was practicing.
Shit, you posterized a motherfucker on camera, you can at the very least speak a lil Chinese
Blow these people’s mentalities
MY CLIENT.
I got this one…
沙克弱酱！
I’m sorry the judges were looking for “ I’m gay and my dick is small”. They also would have accepted “I’m gay actor Michael Douglas”.
You’ve caught me at a very Chinese time in my life
A succulent Chinese night
We are all Chinese on this blessed day
In China it’s morning
It’s that kind of century for me I’m thriving
Year of the Dawg, amirite?
Your father is Chinese
Tonight, I feel Chinese
Thanks Yao, you were great on snl
Better when he was on Lost, season 3!
Can’t believe I googled that using time from my actual life.
Great, now Google thinks I’m racist because the AI overview thinks I’m confusing Yao Ming for the Korean couple.
Feels like we’re back during Kawhi watch where everyone went crazy. Haven’t seen fun like this in the subreddit in a while.
I’m so out of the loop lol, what the hell is happening?
Sub is taking a Great Leap Forward, brother
Since there are no other bird-named teams I guess we have to genocide the hawks?
I support :)
the hell are you doing here
lmao uh-oh did I get spotted outside of SC?
Giannis is working the Eastern Conference into a shoot
I believe the technical term is “the offseason”
Knicks winning the chip seriously changed the vibe of the nba
Yeah it felt like a reset, let’s see how the summer plays out with teams changing things up
The Knicks are like the first team in 8 years that has not been assumed to repeat going into next season, so it would be funny as hell if they were the first to do it.
Jalen Brunson will have 4 championships in 6 years and still wont get any respect.
People would already be saying that the NBA Cup is the more prestigious championship if we didn’t win that too.
I would not have it any other way. I don’t mean that in any hipster fashion, either. I’ve been a Knicks fan 51 years, I was cursed since birth. I’m just saying that if the New York City Basketball Knickerbockers start getting treated with esteem, like some sort of respectable organization it’s a wrap. The NBA will have run its course.
The glorious era of F5
I cannot believe Yao Ming is in my subreddit
Dude be cool or else he won’t come back
Dear Yao, I feel like I can call you Yao because you and me are so alike. I’d like to meet you one day, it would be great to shoot some hoops. I know I can’t shoot as well as you but I think you’d be impressed with my shot. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real slam dunk!
Oh shit there’s stickers
you forgot to signoff with ‘your friend, stan’
Your friend, chairman stan
Did you write a love letter to Yao Ming?
In a way, yes
That one stays on the record.
I once quoted this in a Joel McHale Q&A and he said I sound “normal”.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Dr. Sally Wexler!
Thank you u/nick168 aka Yao Ming
How I know you real Yao Ming
People wouldn’t just go and lie on the internet
-Abraham Lincoln
Holy shit you’re right!
It’s a mod post. You think a mod would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
Oh thank god
Didn’t you know how big of an Aussie Rules Football fan Yao is?
He said ni hao. What more proof do you need?
That’s not the real Yao Ming. He just a wannabe who types like him
You’re a monster. Now Yao is going to wander the streets depressed
You’ve cracked the case
He said so
Thanks Yao.
Is this a mod gone rogue situation or
The sub was spammed with like a dozen joke posts in a row about Yao Ming, including a couple that started with users saying they were Yao. This is essentially the mods announcing they’ve deleted them cause it’s all against the rules but in a way that’s a riff off the meme that was happening so as not to come off as taking it all too seriously.
I think it’s good moderating actually
W moderator
Thank you for the explanation, I thought this was just the sub temporarily completely losing its marbles. I mean, that would have been fine too — fuck it, it’s the off season — but this is better.
Dammit did I just miss a dozen joke posts about Yao??
Yeah, this is actually a great approach
His name is Yaobert Mingson. His name is Yaobert Mingson. His name is Yaobert Mingson.
Thats sound advice Yao. Thanks
Whats your go-to breakfast?
barbeque chicken https://youtu.be/iq4loavCDBc?is=xpZFpMTRJMs-RjiG
barbecue chicken alert 🚨
Thanks Yao
Thanks Yao. I was gonna pull an all nighter if it wasn’t for you
Thanks Yao. Going to settle down with a glass of your namesake wine
This is exactly what Yao Ming would say, so I can confirm this is the real Yao Ming. Goodnight Yao Ming.
Thank you Yao, I like how you are so tall. That’s very cool.
Bonjour Yao Ming!
Yes, O Reverent and Exalted Yao.
Can someone actually tell me what the deal is with the Yao stuff today lol I feel like there’s a big joke that I missed out on or something
thats happened to me throughout my (sadly long) time on this site. I’ll stay off it for like a day or two and this happens. Its happened so many times that I don’t care and just kinda roll with it
晚安
It’s Yao’s burner, guys! He goofed up!
Really gonna beat this joke into the ground huh
This is not Yao Ming lol
You’re right, it’s one of KD’s burners.
GetOffMyMingerson
How can I sleep when there are Yao Ming highlights to watch
Holy shit, it’s the real Yao Ming
Yao’ve got to be kidding me
cheers Yao
Hello Yao can I get an autograph?
Yao Ming! Cool
I will never forget learning Shaq was human that first time you played him
Thank you Yao. We need you
Mr Ming, how do you feel when Rappers compare the stack of their paper to your height?
Thanks Yao!
Shut it down lol
It’s 9:45am in Shanghai Yao. Why are you going to bed at 9:45am?
All the love, is that a Kanye reference?
Thanks my brother.
In b4 it gets removed by an admin
Did I miss something. Why is Yao so popular all of a sudden on here haha?
你好姚明，没想到你会在reddit发帖，祝你未来一切顺利！
This post breaks rule #5 for low effort content tyvm
It’s a mod posting this shit, lol.
I wish you were a 5’9 Filipino PG Yao
My favorite fact that sounds made up is that Yao Ming was created by the Chinese government, specifically with the intent to create a human thats really good at basketball.
And to their credit…they made a human thats really good at basketball
I’m too baked for this shit man.
Yao Ming aside, I’d also suggest you all try a Red Bean Pastry at least once during your life. They’re great!
Yao Ming moderates this subreddit? How does this affect his legacy?
Ni hao 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 Wo ai ni
Yao Ming is Yao King! (Once heard at a Rockets game)
I love you Yao Ming, we the same height fr.
Yo Yao!
Thanks Yao. You were the first player I watched that really got me into watching NBA basketball 🙏
they always say yao ming but never ask… how ming?
goodnight in chinese
Attention seeking behavior
Wow hello Yao Ming! Love you brother you’re a legend, come visit Vancouver some time if you are not busy and eat some good Chinese food brother!
Okay now this is Yao Ming
Let’s see Yao Ming’s card
Temu Yao Ming
Appreciate the reminder Yao you take care of yourself
Thank you Mr. Yao, you too
Yo!
Good idea, big thanks talking man from the sky
谢谢你，姚明。
what did I miss lmao
Miss you bro
Idk man somethings fishy 🐟
Is this a shit post or did I miss something? Lmao
Thank you goat
Thanks, Yang Hansen Sr!
Wait, what is going on here??
I’m Yao Ming
Sleeps important. Thanks Yao!
Woah this is like scrolling too far on TikTok and getting those Chinese candy shop videos
Thanks Yao. You get some rest too, big man.
Yao Ming’s an /r/afl user? This is incredible news. How did you feel about the games in China?
I have no idea what is going on
I’ll take this time to mention I saw Yao play in person 20 odd years ago, and it was legitimately brain breaking. Its absurd seeing a man that size running. You can’t believe you’re the same species
Still have your jersey
