The biggest U.S. import from China during the 2002-2003 NBA season was 7'6", 310lbs, Yao Ming. Having outgrown the Chinese Basketball circuit, he jumped waters and landed with the Houston Rockets and has become one of the most dominating big men in the middle. From off-court endorsements to on-courts battles with Shaq, Yao Ming has propelled himself into American households while continuing to build on his legendary status back home in China. Now, his first season in the NBA has been developed into a documentary that is currently out in limited release. Check out clips from The Year of the Yao.
