So what’s Yao Ming doing besides resting and rehabilitating for the next NBA season?

He’s now on Twitter, that’s right, Yao Ming, 7-6 NBA all-star center from China is now Twittering from the Rockets’ bench, when he’s driving his massive SUV, and the comfort of his own toilet.

And as of this writing, Yao has only tweeted just twice, but he has already nearly 5,000 followers.

His first 140-character message praised his international stand-in: “I like David Andersen, our new center. We played each other in international games.I think he will fit Coach Adelman’s style very well.”

I guess that’s what happens when you’re an international superstar. Check the non-happenings of Yao Ming’s verified Twitter account, and don’t forget to follow Interbasket. Check out other NBA and professional basketball players’ Twitter accounts.
