From the same
Gossip Gods who brought us photos of
flamboyant Cuttino Mobley and
naked Kobe Bryant,
comes news that 7 foot 6 inch NBA star Yao Ming is dating 5 foot 2 inch actress Nia Long. Yes,
dating.
Yao Ming, who came to this country 4 years ago, is apparently a huge fan of hip hop and 1980s television shows.
As the story goes, Yao first noticed Nia while watching the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air in his native China. Since arriving in the NBA, he's repeatedly tried to get the lovely actress to go out on a date with him. And last month Nia finally said yes.
A friend of Nia's tells MediaTakeOut.com that the two have already been on a few dates and so far the sparks are flying.
I have no idea why, but I can't stop from picturing a pacing and anxious Yao leaving repeated voice mail messages on Nia's phone. You know, like that
one scene from
Swingers? This is awesome.
