Nihao. I just got back home from Beijing, China. I went over there for Nike's All Asia Camp. Me and Aaron Brooks made the trip over there for Nike, and I have to admit that I was a little nervous about going because of the 13 hour flight. I don't like to fly at all, so when I found out that the flight was 13 hours, I was a little hesitant. I'm really glad that I made the trip though-it turned out to be one of the best trips that I've ever taken. I got the chance to interact with the campers-I did drills, played some games, and coached the Asia Pacific team in the All-Star game (my team won). I also got to experience some of the city. I went shopping a couple of places, climbed the Great Wall, had an in store Nike appearance, and caught up with Yao for dinner one night.

While I was over there, I wanted to make sure that I experienced as much of the culture as I could. Every morning I ate Chinese food, I learned some of the language, and I tried to interact with as many Chinese people as I could. I was actually pretty good at communicating because a lot of people told me that my Chinese was very good. I'm even thinking about learning more Chinese so that whenever I go back , I will be able to communicate better. Overall, it was a great trip and one of my most memorable experiences. I want to thank all of my fans over there for making me feel welcome. I look forward to going back. Xie xie.
