Yao Ming back in town… and changing diapers
Shanghai’s favorite son is back in the city for a charity tour, and he took some time out from doing good to boast about his diaper-changing skills

Shanghai-born, 2.26-meter, All-Star center and Shanghai Sharks owner Yao Ming is back in his hometown this week to prepare for his much-publicized charity tour for his 2008-founded Yao Ming Foundation, while also checking in on the Shanghai Sharks' operations before the upcoming Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) season.
In town with seven other NBA players -- Baron Davis, Brandon Jennings, Hasheem Thabeet, DaJuan Summers, Amir Johnson, Aaron Brooks and Chase Budinger -- the group is in China to raise funds for the Yao Ming Foundation.
I can change my daughter's diaper with just my toe, can you believe that? When baby cries at night, I just kick my wife and everything is miraculously done
— Yao Ming
The guys are raising money doing what they do best: playing basketball. The group will play two matches, reports Chinese news agency Xinhua, the first with the Chinaese national basketball team in Beijing on July 23, and then with Yao Ming’s Shanghai Sharks in Shanghai on July 28.
Funds raised for the Yao Ming Foundation will be committed to rebuilding six schools in China's Sichuan Province that were affected but the Sichuan earthquake, as well as providing scholarships for students and develop sports programs there.
