>> nothing changed. i can't hide anywhere. people can recognize me from 100 meters away. >> right. but when you were growing up, i understand you always wanted to be really famous. the you who was a kid and growing up, what would the you today tell that kid about fame? >> enjoy your moment before you get famous. >> really? i want to talk to you a bit about the chinese system. what would your school and practice schedule entail when you were growing up? >> well, i went to the sports first level academy when i was we still study as normal students from 8:00 all the way to 2:00. and then the difference is we have to participate a three-hour practice after that and then homework. they still can play sports but not like a central practice. keep that way until 14. the junior team of the shanghai city think i'm good enough they drop me to the next level. education time, but a maximum of practice time, almost -- my first six months was really, really hard. ten hours a day six days a week. >> ten hours a day, six days a week at 14 years old. >> actually, 13 1/2. >> it seems like in china you basically have to choose at an early age school or sports. if you could make any changes to the system, what changes would you make and why? >> i think that's a big question. it's not just me. i can tell you that a lot of people think about that. >> sure. >> that problem is already put under the microscope. requires a couple talents. size of course. speed, trengstrength, mentality can you find from there? size only. >> how far along are people understanding the need to make the reform define some of the less tall players who could also have a lot of success in basketball? >> i think we should ask a question bigger than that. bigger than that, but also back to the original question, which is what is sports for us? it's just -- i mean, the difference between sports and idea. that is the central eye of those kids who have the talent to give them the best education and become an engineer or great leader or some kind of stuff or contribution for our neighbor or our country. but that is hard to directly learn from paper, from a book. book is very important, but we than just a gold medal. sports is, like i said, it's such a great strategy to educate people, to raise the kids. then we become a much tougher than before. they learn how to teamwork, how to competition, how to respect the rule, respect your teammate and respect yourself. and if we're really doing that, we should have more kids participate into sports games. >> you's departure from the took a series of negotiations before the national team agreed to release him in 2002 for the nba draft. he was eventually chosen as that year's first overall pick but told us in 2011 the transition had its challenges. >> 2002 you've just come over from china to the united states to play for the houston rockets. how nervous were you then? >> honestly, i'm not just a little bit. i'm scared about coming to the nba players and the most physical league in the world and the people like to challenge you. it doesn't matter how tall you are. they like to hit you, very physical elbow and push you out of the paint. almost like wrestling on the court. we know that chinese players didn't play veryhy most physical level here is not that physical than the united states. so first thing is, like, i might get hurt, you know, short time. it scared me. >> your nba debut you were scoreless and of course everybody in the u.s. wants immediate satisfaction. when you're scoreless, you're hailed as a bust after the first game. how concerning was it for you not just a little bit. i give myself a little cushion there. i keep top of myself and also my parents help me on that with saying we're just new here and we need some time to make adjustments. you know, make some -- at the very first game. >> sure. >> at the bottom line i tell myself that everybody have a start. i know points a game. i know a lot of guys will have a great start, but most importantly is where you're ending it. you can't change your start t.'s already happened. >> how do you think it would have impacted your health long term if you kept playing? >> i don't know. but i can tell you my foot never come back to before that surgery in 2008. >> accommodations for this located in the hart of china's commercial and entertain ment capital. hey, evan. so, you're stuck at a work thing. with directv and at&t you can stream all your favorite shows without using your data. that makes you more powerful than a table for 60. wednesdays are the new thursdays! or the mandatory after party. how early is too early to leave? i'm not going anywhere. it's your tv, take it with you. watch all your live directv channels, on at&t, data free. of your phil -- well? i love it. this piece is so you. i saw it and i was just like "oh, i have to have it..." is it suede? it's suede. i love suede. state farm knows that every one those moments, there's one of these... well? i love it. this piece is so you. i know, right? i saw it and i was just like "i have to have it..." is it suede? it's suede. i love suede. that's why we're there, with renters insurance, when things go wrong... but also here, with a rewards credit card, to help life go right. state farm. philanthrop >> is there one player you teamed up with that just made the right combination? >> my best teammates, i just feel sorry that we just cannot get together long enough and healthy enough to achieve something more. >> dating back to his junior league days in china, injuries plagued you ming's career. multiple foot and ankle injurie of his nba tenure. he suffered a fracture to his left foot and decided to keep him out the rest of the season. he announced his retirement and we had a chance to speak with him weeks later. >> how challenging was it for you to make that decision? >> i played in the last 20 years almost every day and then uh-oh like i said, basketball is my lifetime interest. so it if i'm retired from a professional basketball, i still want to play a little bit. >> what do you think led to you being injured so much? >> something you can't change. with my weight and my high arch. particularly my high arch. >> so from october to june, you always played for the houston rockets and then following the nba season go back to china to pick up your chinese national team basketball responsibilities, how much do you wonder if you had a less demanding year-round basketball schedule if that would have had any impact on how much you were injured? >> if we can manager that better, of course we can avoid some time to do some training, like a muscle training. >> you think it could have been managed better? >> well, there's no if. but those experiences i believe would be helping in the future for other chinese players. >> how do you think it would have impacted your health long term if you kept playing? >> i don't know. i can tell you my foot never come back to before that surgery in 2008. >> how does it feel now? od almost, like, completely numb on the top of my foot right there zblch. >> really? >> yeah. still. that's probably the surgery damage from my nerve system and i feel less on there . >> before making it to the nba his talents were on display for the shanghai sharks. sharks made it to the finals 2002 championship. by 2009 the franchise was running out of money. later that year it was announced you had stepped in to purchase the steam n. addition to revitalizing the sharks, his ownership role has made waves throughout the chinese bask ball a association. he's been vocal about changes he'd like to make to the league which includes giving owners more decision making power. >> explain how the cba has been run and how you've to privatize it. >> cba run the league and tell what to do. and now that the owners feel that we have so much pressure on cost today and because, you know, we don't have the kind of salary cap control. >> you guys are the ones spenni spending all the money but don't get to make the decisions. the reason too. but we did a couple rounds of negotiation and today i think is we're reading to a course that the owner will have more speaking rights than before. >> if those changes are made, how much more success do you think the league can have? >> well, it's 1.3 billion. >> big potential audience. >> yeah. and i think nba already help us a lot it should be easier for us. >> so is there a basketball around here? maybe third time's a charge. >> to honor the tradition, maybe i should miss it. that's a good excuse for me to miss it. >> there you go. before danny got what he was dreaming about for the holidays. [ dinosaur growls ] and his dad earned 2% back at grocery stores and wholesale clubs. yeah! even before they earned 3% back on gas. danny's parents used their bankamericard cash rewards credit card to give him the best day ever. that's the joy of rewarding connections. hey, evan. so, you're stuck at a work thing. with directv and at&t you can stream all your favorite shows without using your data. wednesdays are the new thursdays! or the mandatory after party. how early is too early to leave? you're not going anywhere. i'm not going anywhere. it's your tv, take it with you. watch all your live directv channels, on at&t, data free. you ming's humble personality and politeness have become his signature and that philanthropy when a devastating earthqua earthquake hit the region of china in 2008 it marked the beginning of the you ming foundation. >> how did the idea of your foundation come about? >> my foundation established in 2008 pretty soon after the great earthquake. that earthquake took over 70,000 souls in there. for my country. everybody tried to do their part to support, to help our country men right there. so we start a foundation and try to donate and also raise some funds to support the province, to rip those from the school that had been damaged in the earthquake as a first step. area in china. so far we have 17 schools already finished. half of them are in the prof skpins hains and half are spread out. >> what is the work done that you've most proud of. >> you school basketball season program we started five years ago. idea is that we recruit a lot of young city. and send them, train them and send them to the school who need it, including the school by us. have them train kids to play basketball. but our goal is very clear that we're not trying to find the next talented players to play professional. we try and train them and teach them and learn those characters, i strongly believe that they will learn it. >> at the end of our day with you, we stopped by his childhood school yard, the place where he had his first ever free-throw competition. he missed that first shot years ago and it's safe to say that it's still creating problems for him today. >> is there a basketball around here? >> to honor the tradition, probably i should miss it. that's a good excuse dfor me to miss it. okay. let's get out of here. really not good range for me. >> there you go. >> watch out for another ten years maybe. alex: coming next, saving pets whose owners are homeless. veterinarians volunteer their skills at a unique clinic. plus, a pony falls into a this is... [captioning made possible by telco productions, inc.] thanks for joining us. i'm alex paen. be prepared to witness extraordinary efforts of dedicated individuals helping animals in trouble. let's begin our show with this amazing animal rescue true story. vet: hi. how are you doing woman: her name is juju. vet: juju. ok. and what happened? woman: i just found her a week ago, and when i found her, she was limping. she had her left leg--left front leg issue. vet: ok. alex: welcome to the hope veterinary center, a nonprofit pet hospital that treats for free animals of homeless people in the greater los angeles area, and staffed by local vets who volunteer their skills and time. dave: for a lot of these folks, they'd rather stay on the street than go to some of the shes, 'cause many of the shelters in the area won't allow them to have pets. so they'd rather stay out with their pets. we try and run it pretty much like a regular veterinary hospital. so they'll come in through the reception area, check in, tell us what their chief complaints are. then the pet will have a physical examination, and then we can take care of whatever health needs they have, you know, vaccines, deworming, flea preventative. we can do laboratory testing, blood work. vet: perfect. it's not your ears that's the problem. mmm. and/or neutered, so we drew all bloods before that and then schedule them for elective surgeries and dentistries. alana: i walked in at 7:00 this morning. there was already people waiting outside. we open at 8:00. and we had about 20 people waiting already. susan: the people that we're helping here are people who have been deeply traumatized, a lot of times during their childhood, and certainly by their experience of homelessness. and their animals are often the only connection they have to another living thing. their animals are extremely, extremely important to them. woman; i know, baby girl. you're ok. alana: i know for me, personally--i'm not in that kind of a situation, but my animals are so important to me. but i don't think it holds a candle to what it is to people who have lost everything. so the fact that we're able to help their animals and help them continue the bond and the connection, support they get from their animals, is so important. has an eye infection, and she's had it for about a month, and i want to make sure that she's ok. i don't want her to go blind. i want her to be treated for it. i'm living on the streets. i've been on the streets for 9 years. and i can't get work anymore. i'm not willing to give up my dogs for anything. i'm trying to get placed now. and they're my life. they're my children. and i won't give them up. woman: i came to bring in kobe, who was pulling out his hair. best friend. i come here because these people are so nice. the doctors are always very attentive. i can't believe that these doctors are actually giving their time to help out less fortunate animals. and if this place wasn't here, i don't know what i would do. if it wasn't for this place, there's a lot of animals that would be sick and not have anyplace tina: we also work quite closely with my friends place, which is a youth access center, and we see many of their pets each month. and we are definitely making a difference with the youth population in the los angeles area by being able to give their pets care, 'cause those are the kids that come to the access center that are actually on the streets, and they come to the access center during the day and are on the streets at night, and we're able to provide care with the pets that they have with t them warm at night. marty: we're all here together doing something for a good cause, and it just-- it's actually something i look forward to. a job is something you go whether you want to or not. this is all volunteer. vet: you're done! man: come here, baby. woman: congratulations. [cheering and clapping] liz: if we didn't have this clinic, if we didn't volunteer, if we didn't do this for these animals, there aren't a lot of other options. i mean, they would basically--the owners might try and treat them the counter or something they heard worked, but they wouldn't have access to medicine and diagnostic treatments and things like that. man: is that better? dave: the people are so appreciative of what we're doing, and you know, you can see the bond that they have with their animals, and it's really nice to be able to help them keep that bond going. woman: i'm not sure if she has a fractured bone or not. she just started putting weight-- a little weight on it. she has a little hole here that looks like maybe an abscess healed, and there's kind a bump here, so i don't... vet: she does have some swelling of the bone here. we can feel that. so it could be that she had an infection, or it could be there was some inflammation or damage to the bone. she has all of her adult teeth, and she has quite a bit of wear on her teeth, so she's somewhere between 3 and 5, i would say, somewhere in that range. she's doing pretty good. it looks like she may have...gotten into a fight and someone bit her quite a bit of swelling here of the bone. and so i don't know if it was a fracture or just have an infection of the bone. i think what we're going to do at this point is start her on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and pain medicine. woman: ok. vet: and then, if in a month--we check her back in a month, if we're not significantly improved, then we'll schedule x-rays of her leg as well. woman: ok. vet: ok? jill: this is a community for a lot of our clients. this is an enormous touchstone for most of them who have an incredibly anxiety-filled life. and this is where they come to see people who care about them and who appreciate them and don't judge them. we're here for the animals. the people happen to be attached to them. but the people feel comfortable that we love their animals as much as they do. continues right after this brief alex: we now continue with our amazing "animal rescue" story. tina: hope veterinary center is a veterinary clinic for pets of the homeless in the greater los angeles area, and we provide woman: i'm here because i lost my place. i was no longer able to pay rent. and so, with the animals here, i had no place to go. and so now we sleep in--sometimes, we sleep in the van. dave: so i'm gonna give you one of these. this is a flea thing to--flea medication to put on her in a month. woman: ok, great. alana: we're not doing this to get paid back. we're doing it because we want to. and a lot of people don't understand that all of us are volunteers. nobody not just a once-a-month volunteer position. this is like a full-time job. frank: what liz is doing is taking the syringe out of the package. and there's a small chip that's about the size of a grain of rice in the barrel of the needle. and then, we're going to place that needle under the skin and inject the microchip. and then we'll scan it to prove that it's there. if they get lost, all veterinarians and all shelters have the microchip reader, which is this right here, we'll be able to determine who owns the pet from the reader. woman: that's not nice. frank: we're going to go ahead and scan it now, make sure it's there. [beeps] woman: there. frank: see, there's her unique number right there. this chip has saved so many lives that would--otherwise, dogs or cats end up in the shelter, they'll be euthanized. liz: even cats that are strictly indoor cats, we usually will microchip them, because if somebody comes and opens the door and the cat runs out and gets away, we have a way of getting them back to their owner. it's a very good thing. dave: one of the things that people have done is supplied us with pet foods. and so, we've got a variety of cat foods, dog foods, dry, canned. a lot of the folks, they would rather feed their pet than feed themselves. and so usually, every time they come in, we try and make sure that they go home with some type of food item. a lot of the folks here who are packages that are probably more accommodating for our clients who are living on the street or living out in their car. j.j.: so we've done our initial examination of molly. we detected a pretty big swelling on her head. it's sort of hard to see unless you're really close by, but she's got a big swelling under her ear right here. it's very painful for her. she doesn't like it to be touched. we looked in her ear. and she definitely has an ear infection, so that may or may not be involved. woman: i brought my dog in for a follow-up om that they--i brought her in for last month. i literally would not be able to afford her vet bills without this group here. j.j.: this medicine, it tastes like--it's a treat flavor, so you really want to hide it from her so she doesn't get into the bottle and eat all of it. and that could be toxic, ok? so you have this, and you have your antibiotics right here. right? ok? and that should at least help for pain and infection. liz: when you volunteer for their time is an open, good-hearted, generous person. and that's why we get along, you know. we just have that kind of circle of camaraderie because we're all in this together for the animals. it's very sad when you're driving down the street and you see a homeless person with their dog, and you know that that animal needs veterinary care, and there's nothing you can do for them. so this is a way for us to be able to provide that to that population of animals. jill: this is an incredible way have an outreach and have an impact on a population that feels like they're forgotten. people can help by donating to something like hope. people can help by spaying and neutering their animals. people can help by understanding that animals are a lifetime commitment, and knowing that once you accept an animal into your life, it's yours. and that's the beauty of most of the homeless clients that we work with is that they've committed to their animals, and they're here. woman: bye. thank you so much.
