Yao Ming received final clearance Wednesday from the Chinese Basketball Federation to play in the NBA, and the Houston Rockets announced that they would select the 7- foot-5 center with the No. 1 pick in the draft.
``I received a letter early this morning from Chinese Basketball Association chief executive Xin Lancheng confirming that all of his concerns have been addressed,'' Rockets attorney Michael Goldberg said. ``We are looking forward to drafting Yao with the first overall selection in the NBA draft.''
