yh Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 not necessarily words of wisdom... but good quotes none-the-less..."Tell Yao Ming, 'ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh." - ShaqThat quote was later followed by..."Tell Shaq, 'nigga gotz some fried chicken. Bling, bling." - Yao MingYao learned the deragatory term from the Rush Hour movies.If I'm not mistaken, the quote attributed to Yao was actually a fabrication - it was part of a satirical article written by an Asian American student at Cal Tech who was upset that Shaq "got off" with an apology and no further repercussions.
