Will Yao Ming  be jealous of fellow countryman Sun Yue becoming a part of Chinese history in becoming the first Chinese born player to achieve wining an  NBA Championship? The answer is YES.

We here at protect the paint touched this topic briefly yesterday while introducing a series of images of the Lakers Championship parade.

Amongst rumors circulating about Yao Ming’s whereabouts next season,  he told reporters in Shanghai “There’s a little bit of envy,” followed up with “If I didn’t have feel even some jealousy, then I’m afraid that really would make me a little too much of a slacker.”

The latest rumors have Yao Ming possibly moving to Cleveland.  The Asian investment  group  including JianHua Huang, a Chinese businessman who has past sponsorship deals with large franchises such as the New York Yankees, has acquired approximately up to 15 percent of Cavaliers Operating Company, the business entity owning the Cavaliers and operating Quicken Loans Arena.

Chinese players have a reputation for playing with teams with surrounding Chinese communities. A team with Chinese ownership must have even more appeal.

If Yao Ming makes the move to Cleveland, he would be playing with Lebron James, unquestionably the best 1-2 combination of his career. If Yao remains healthy, Cleveland would be an instant title contender. It is hard to imagine any team in the Eastern Conference moving past the duo of Yao Ming and Lebron James in the NBA Playoffs.

Sun Yue had no real role in the Lakers success. He played a combined total of 0 minutes during the entire post season. Yet he gets the ring while Yao Ming, whose team was eliminated by Los Angeles,  sat around watching while he recoverd from his injuries.

It is a safe bet that if  Yao Mings does not win a title soon, he had better be ready to see Sun Yue billboards dominating the scenery in China.
