My hero is Yao Ming and was the first Chinese player in the NBA in 2002. He was born in Shanghai, China. Ming's mother and father, both former basketball players, held good jobs. He was very tall person at a young age. He became famous because of his own skill on the basketball court and joined a team called the Sharks at the age of thirteen. When he started playing basketball, he was the tallest player in the team. He went to china twice to play for the Chinese Olympic team. Yao Ming started playing for the Sharks, then the National team then the NBA team called the Houston Rockets.

I have chosen Yao Ming as my hero because he is a great basketball player and is a very important person to me because he has a kind and strong heart. Yao Ming is a person of great skill in the basketball. During games, Yao Ming has done the best he can to accomplish something that he needs to improve. He never gives up on something that he can't do. These are the main reasons that I have chosen him.

I have chosen him because he is great at persevering when he can't help his team to win a game. Yao Ming does his best to make his life better. Some day I would like to be like him. He is very kind to everyone.
