	JockBio: Yao Ming Biography
		Shanghai, the largest city in China with a population of 11 million, was a wondrous place for Ming to grow up.
		The Shanghai club would certainly place a sizable price tag on the head of its star, while public officials in China would have a laundry list of requirements and conditions to be met before approving his departure.
		Shanghai's hesitancy to strike a deal was partly due to bad blood that had surfaced between Bayi and Dallas over Zhi-Zhi.
