Extractions: Honored on Postage Stamps Stamps Unveiled for the first time at the NBA Store NEW YORK - JANUARY 3, 2002 - Wang Zhizhi of the Dallas Mavericks was honored with a set of legal tender stamps that were unveiled for the first time at a special event at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City on January 3, 2002 at 1:00 p.m.ET, it was announced today by the National Basketball Association, BDA Sports Management and the Inter-Governmental Philatelic Corporation (IGPC). "It is indeed a great honor," said Wang. "Not everyone is privileged to have a stamp made for them." This tribute to Wang, China's first NBA player, is part of the Legends of Sports postage stamp series issued by the government of Liberia and produced by IGPC, the world's largest postal agency that represents more than 70 governments worldwide. In recognition of his contributions to the sport of basketball and as China's first NBA player, he is being immortalized on a commemorative series of postage stamps that are legal tender and valid for postage globally. Liberia has a long tradition of issuing postage stamps to honor the achievements of major international athletes such as Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, Pele, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson and George Foreman.

The Wizards won the game 102-95. Photo by AP By Ethen Lieser Seated next to Damocles is Dallas Maverick forward Wang Zhizhi, cringing beneath his own sword. It is a sword that can ordain basketball all-stars, myths and even legends. But for the 23-year-old Chinese giant, this process will need time. For instance, take note of the path taken by future Hall-of-Famer Hakeem Olajuwon of the Toronto Raptors, who is the first player from Nigeria to strap on sneakers in the NBA. After a successful collegiate career with the Houston Cougars, Olajuwon became the first overall pick in the NBA by the Houston Rockets. What separated Olajuwon from the rest of the centers was his unique game. He could challenge you in the post, trip your feet with a cross-over dribble, or step back to rain in 15-foot jumpers.

TIMEasia.com | Basketball: China's Twin Towers | 9/20/99 well have their eye on another prize a shot at the National basketball Association Chinajust happens to have a pair of worldclass giants wang zhizhi (2.16 m http://www.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/0920/basketball.html
Extractions: The Chinese men's national basketball team seems to have it all: height, youth, experience and, after many disappointments, a big victory with last week's win at the Asian Basketball Confederation championship in the Japanese city of Fukuoka. That gives China Asia's sole spot in the basketball competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics. But with all that under their belt, a few Chinese players may well have their eye on another prize: a shot at the National Basketball Association. Consider this: the U.S. currently suffers a dearth of talented players taller than 2.1 m. China just happens to have a pair of world-class giants: Wang Zhizhi (2.16 m) and Yao Ming (2.29 m). Wang, in fact, was drafted by the N.B.A. The Dallas Mavericks selected him as the 36th overall pick in this year's draft. "Wang Zhizhi is ready for the N.B.A. right now," says Dale Brown, who tried unsuccessfully to recruit Wang for his Louisiana State University team. "In Asia, he is a man among boys." It isn't certain that Wang, 22, will actually become China's first export to the N.B.A., however. Mavericks assistant coach Don Nelson and team owner Ross Perot Jr. recently traveled to Beijing to try to secure Wang's services. But the Chinese player's clubthe Bayi Rockets, official team of the People's Liberation Armyrefused to release him. In China, a team has absolute hold on a player's rights. And as the dominant league power, Bayi is reluctant to give up its star. "When we drafted him we understood the challenges of getting him over to play," says Nelson, who also traveled to Fukuoka to scout the talent. "We didn't expect him to join us right away, but there is a strong possibility in the future." Wang, for his part, seems eager to test himself against the world's top competition. "I really enjoyed the game against the American Dream Team III at the 1996 Olympics," he says (the U.S. won, 133-70). But Wang isn't the kind who would leave China without permission.

Extractions: Remember Ping-Pong diplomacy? Thirty years ago a series of international table-tennis matches helped smooth the way for Richard Nixon to open diplomatic relations with China. Now, in the wake of the spy plane crash off Hainan Island, continued tension over Taiwan, and the forthcoming fights over missile defense, it may be time for some hoops diplomacy. The National Basketball Association is only too happy to oblige in the name of international harmony and big bucks. Professional basketball's popularity is surging in China, the world's most populous country. The NBA, which has long targeted Asia as a potentially huge growth market, is now reaping the benefits of its efforts to get its games televised. This year Chinese basketball fans are able to catch up to five games a week on national television. Ratings for the games aren't available, says Michael Denzel, vice president and managing director for the NBA in Asia, but there's still plenty of data to show how popular the sport has become. Ninety percent of China's young males, particularly those in major cities, report "awareness of" and "interest in" the NBA. Not even soccer, traditionally thought of as the country's favorite sport, has such high numbers.

Unexpected Results in Asian Games Wang Zhizhi Sacked by National Men's Basketball Team The China Basketball Association recently announced its decision to dismiss basketball player Wang Zhizhi from the national team. According to the association, Wang defied discipline, lapsed in professional morals and flouted national interests by refusing to return to China and perform his duty as specified in the contract between his team and the Dallas Mavericks. The association did, however, confirm that it would give Wang the opportunity to correct his mistakes, as long as he genuinely repents and takes appropriate action immediately. Other members of the national team expressed no sympathy for Wang. They believe he deserves this punishment for flouting Chinese athletes' glorious tradition of putting the interests and honor of their nation above all else.

Extractions: By Pang Cheng Wan The NBA features 49 international players from 29 countries and territories for the 2001-02 season. With five international players on the team roster of Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Mavericks team leads the chasing pack of NBA teams in having the most number of international players. The latest crop of international rookies are already making a name for themselves alongside burgeoning superstars such as Germany's Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks) and Yugoslavia's Peja Stojakovic (Sacramento Kings). Notably, the only Asian player who has came to ply his trade in NBA and achieved considerable success in NBA, Wang Zhizhi, hails from the worlds most populous country, China. Wang, one of China's all-time greatest basketball players, became the first player from China to play in the NBA when he joined the Dallas Mavericks in April 2001. He was selected by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft with the 36th pick. With sterling performances in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic basketball games for China, Wang captured the attention of the basketball world. In his first NBA season, he averaged 4.8 points, 1.4 rebounds in 7.6 minutes per game and scored a total of 24 points in five games. His presence in NBA serves as an fine example to many other aspiring Asian players who only dare to dream of playing in the NBA, a dream that can be fulfilled.
Sun.Star Cebu - OYSON: Wang Zhizhi Magsisi The case of Chinas 7foot-1 giant wang zhizhi, 25, is a little bit different.No, he was not a member of the China basketball team that lost the Mens http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/2002/10/31/sports/oyson.wang.zhizhi.magsisi.html
Extractions: It would not only be RP point guard Olsen Racela who will be reliving a terrible nightmare for the rest of his life but also Chinas first NBA recruit, Wang Zhizhi. There is no need for us to recall how Racela unwittingly gave South Korea the stunning victory, 69-68, in their semifinal match in the Asian Games basketball championship when he flubbed a pair of free throws in the dying seconds. Reams and reams of articles, columns and commentaries have been written about those two free throws that got away and allowed South Lee Sang-Min a last-second 3-point shot that broke the backs of the Filipinos epic comeback. Racela will carry the nightmare of a victory that never was to his grave. Even now, millions of Filipinos who saw the game on TV last Oct. 12 are still talking about it. DISLOYAL. The case of Chinas 7-foot-1 giant Wang Zhizhi, 25, is a little bit different. No, he was not a member of the China basketball team that lost the Mens basketball crown to South Korea, 102-100. But had he joined his team in the Asian Games for the sake of his fatherland the result would have been different. Instead, he chose to remain in the United States for the duration of the Asiad to train for the NBA.
