Jerry Lee, chairman of Bellevue-based architecture firm MulvannyG2 Architecture; former SuperSonic Fred Brown; Eric Booker, Director of Player Development and Community Relations at Snoqualmie Casino; and basketball hall of famer Bill Russell attended the NBA preseason games held in Shanghai, China last week, on Oct. 11 and 16. China’s economic development was apparent, as both games, featuring the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, sold out.  Apart from Yao Ming, Bill Russell received the most applause when his attendance was announced. During the games, Yao Ming met with Bill Russell to pay his respects. (end)
