Yao greets Steve Francis
I happened to be standing at the entrance and had the camera running when Yao Ming came into the area where the photos were being taken.

They at one point are talking about Steve having lost some weight -- Rafer says Steve is "my size" now.

Yao Ming for three?

Yao Ming on Ron Artest ... and Ron Artest on Yao Ming
Yao said he and Ron are acting like old friends while Ron dishes out high praise for Yao and all that he has accomplished.
