“That is a curious story, I was covering an All-Star Game and among all the figures that come to those events was Shaquille O’Neal, when I had to ask I greeted him and before answering he told me: “hey you know you look like a Yao baby”and he laughed, the joke made me laugh and I kept the nickname,” Alfaro said.Shaq was referring to Yao Ming, a former Chinese player for the Houston Rockets, famous for being 2.29 meters tall.
The official site of the NBA is responsible for making publications about the profiles of the players, news, and statistics of the teams among other content that from now on will have a Costa Rican seal.
