Actress Annie Shizuka Inoh (front left) poses with Chinese NBA
star, Yao Ming, at a recent charity auction in Beijing. The
Houston-Rockets jersey of this 2.29 meter-tall basketball player
was more like a dress on the actress. The event, jointly sponsored
by Yao Ming and Phoenix Suns guard, Steve Nash, drew a number of
entertainers and sports stars, and raised seven million yuan
(US$931,779). The money is reportedly to be used to finance kids'
education in China's poorest regions. [Photo: xinhuanet.com]
