The World According to Ming - Yao Ming thinks missing the Summer Olympics would be "the biggest loss" of his career.

He's wrong. He could miss the Olympics and his biggest loss to date would still be when he and Tracy McGrady failed to beat Utah in the NBA Playoffs last season.

An NBA title is always more important than any Olympic gold medal in basketball. Everyone should know that, particularly people who compete in the NBA.

Great basketball players are measured, in part, by what they do in the NBA Playoffs, not the Olympics.
