Live broadcast on February 4th recently, Richard Jefferson, a former NBA player and current commentator, talked about the All-Star game in the “Road Trippin” program.
Jefferson said: “The start of the All-Star game is based on the votes of fans. Zion has a great personal influence. Yao Ming is in the same situation. He is great. He starts every All-Star game. His personal influence has been established, and there is a whole country behind him. He is destined to be the first start of the All-Star game. I am very glad that he is really a great player, so he deserves this honor.”
Yao Ming was selected in the All-Star Game for 8 times in NBA career, all of which were the starting point (2003-2009;2011).
