Olympics Xing
Xing (pronounced shing or sing) means journey in Chinese — fitting for this blog, which is all about the journey of the U.S. men's basketball team and N&O staff writer Luciana Chavez at the 2008 Beijing Games. She is covering her first Olympics and making her first trip to China. Check in here for Olympic news and for Luci's impressions getting to and being at the Games.
Wade's brush with anonymity

BEIJING — USA guard Dwyane Wade doesn't go many places where he's not noticed but apparently the Great Wall of China is one of those places.
Wade was visiting the drink stand at the Wall several days ago looking for something to quench his thirst when, lo and behold, he ran across a bottle of Gatorade with his mug on the front. That's where the audio clip picks up. He can tell the story better than I can.
