Leather Basketball Shoes Were Yao Ming's First Motivation


    LAS VEGAS, April 3 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The latest
issue of Legends Sports Magazine towers over the
competition with its feature story on the NBA's tallest
player, the Houston Rocket's Yao Ming.

    Standing 7 feet 6 inches tall, Yao has become a star in
the United States on the basketball court with a consistent
scoring record and off, thanks to his good humor and
personality. Legends Sports' profile touches on these and
other aspects of his fascinating life, tracing his path
from his humble origins in China when all he desired was a
good pair of shoes through his move to the U.S. and his
current success.

    Award-winning Legends Sports is equally successful,
offering fans and collectors ultra-high quality,
limited-edition magazines with inserts of sports cards
bordered with 24-karat gold foil. As well as the highly
prized cards, each issue includes in-depth profiles, lively
features, and some of the best sports artwork around.

    Ed Shin, the magazine's new owner, has been a fan of
Legends Sports since its start in 1988. "I loved
reading Legends Sports as a kid," says Ed. "I'd
look forward to each new issue, both as a sports fan and as
a card collector. I never thought I'd be in a position to
buy my favorite publication, and now I can't wait to help
take it to the next level."

    Packed with great articles on classic sports moments,
legendary pictures and photos of the world's top athletes,
and information on back issues, Legend Sports is every
collector's dream. Each magazine is a limited-edition
issue, with no back issues ever reproduced, and some copies
have escalated 200% in value.

    Issues purchased directly from Hall of Fame Publishing
ensure that none of the original cover artwork is marred by
newsstand or UPC markings, arriving wrapped in polybags to
keep them in mint condition. Each issue contains the
legendary 24-karat gold-foiled insert of nine cards of
famous sports stars and celebrated moments in sports
history.
