The Ming Ming Dynasty



Sun Ming Ming is the tallest player in professional basketball. He is 7'9", and makes his debut tonight for the Maryland Nighthawks of the American Basketball Association. Ming Ming is best known for his fight with a brain tumor attached to his pituitary gland, which caused his massive growth, but robbed him of speed and stamina, and caused a loss of testosterone. He had surgery to remove the tumor last year, and is now working toward his goal of an NBA career.

Ming-Ming Duckling is one of the Wonder Pets, the new hit show on Nick Jr. Ming-Ming and her friends Linny the guinea pig and Tuck the turtle are classroom pets that rescue baby animals outside school hours, and sing their lines opera-style. Ming-Ming, like Elmer Fudd before her, cannot pronounce her "R's" or "L's". Her signature line is: "This is sewious". From everything I've seen and heard, adults find the show funny, while small children find it entertaining.

This is the making of another Ming dynasty.

I am a little partial to Ming Ming from Wonderpets. That is one of the best shows ever!!!

And actually, come to think of it, Wonderpets can actually apply to a sports blog. Let's all sing together now...."What's gonna work? Teamwork!"

I'll take Ming-Ming the duck, also. She has experience with teamwork, and has the potential for a longer career.

I'm afraid Sun Ming Ming would be a slow white guy. Only thing is, he can't be a slow white guy. He's Chinese.
