YaoMingMania.com was the first Web site dedicated to Yao Ming -- one of the world's most popular athletes -- and is the top site visited by people wanting to learn anything about Yao. Created in May 2002 before he was even drafted by the Houston Rockets, the site (converted to a blog in 2006) provides objective commentary on all that is happening with Yao on the court game-by-game, as well as off the court. Fans of Yao and the Rockets also get to trade their thoughts in the site's popular and highly spirited discussion forum.

John B. -- the author and creator of the site since Day 1 -- is a 30+ year fan and follower of the Rockets. With his deep knowledge of the franchise's history, he frequently provides perspectives on how today's team compares to great Rocket teams from the past, celebrates today's team successes, and criticizes them when deserved.
