The Next Big Thing

Wang Zhizhi. File photo
By AJ Hayes

If there was any doubt that Wang Zhizhi, the NBA’s first Chinese player, was having any difficulty adjusting to life in America — all one had to do was catch a glimpse of Zhizhi in the Dallas Mavericks locker room after a recent win over the Golden State Warriors.

With a can of Coke in one hand and a TV remote in the other, the 24-year-old Zhizhi — all 7-foot-1, 220 pounds of him — was kicking back and watching a college football game.

The only thing missing from this Norman Rockwell-esque scene was a big slice of apple pie.
