姚明林书豪爱心"爆棚" 携手做慈善揭全明星序幕

美国男篮职业联赛(NBA)历史上最著名的两位华人球星——姚明和林书豪，在情人节这一天爱心“爆棚”，携手参与慈善活动，由此拉开了2013年NBA全明星周末的序幕。

Houston (CNS) -- Former NBA player Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin, a player for the Houston Rockets, cooperated at a charity activity in Houston on Valentine's Day.

Yao taped a public service announcement supporting his stand against shark fin soup and the practice of live shark finning. Lin also participated in the ad.

Lin launched a charitable foundation to help children and youths by providing hope, empowerment and leadership development. Yao also attended and showed support.

The gala was hosted on the sidelines of a three-day NBA All-Star Weekend. Yao will serve as a judge in the All-Star Slam Dunk contest, his first high-profile NBA appearance since retiring in 2011.
