NBA Legend Yao Ming says Philadelphia is his favorite U.S. City
It’s not everyday that you hear a foreigners favorite place in America is Philadelphia, but that is the case for NBA Hall of Famer Yao Ming.
The Legend sat down with current player Kyle Kuzma while they talked all things NBA. Ming was asked about life in the NBA, unforgettable stories on and off the court, and the lifestyle around league. A good portion of players time is spent on the road in different cities, as they have to travel for away games; giving athletes a chance to explore the country from their vantage point.
“My favorite is Philadelphia”, Ming exclaimed after Kuzma asked him which city is his favorite in America. When asked why Philadelphia, Ming gave a response that left Kyle Kuzma laughing while agreeing.
“Cheesesteak and I like museums. Chicago has good museums too, but Philadelphia has a good museum and also the Navy Factory, defending the entire ocean. That’s kind of a museum too,” Ming recalled.
Philadelphians could not help but flood the comments with welcoming Yao to the city anytime, and reminiscing on what could’ve been back in 2001.
