YAO Ming, an eight-time All-Star center with the National Basketball Association's Houston Rockets, was honored on Tuesday with the "Visionary of the Year" award by the Asia Society Southern California.
"It is with profound gratitude and humility that I receive this 'Visionary' award when I am just 30 years old," Yao said on receiving the award at an ASSC annual gala at a downtown Los Angeles hotel after wrapping up his Houston tour last weekend during which he attended the NBA All-Star festivities. Los Angeles Lakers star Steve Nash also attended the gala.
