NBA superstar Yao Ming recently married his longtime sweetheart, and searches on the handsome pair soared to impressive heights.
Ming, known for his smothering defense and lack of ego, surged 1,652% to land among our top 750 searches. This intense interest proves just how famous the 7' 6" center has become during his stint in the NBA.
Still, even those lofty numbers pale in comparison to the searches on his bride, Ye Li. Li's buzz surged so dramatically that we were unable to calculate a percentage. Plus she finished among our top five overall searches. That's absolutely epic, but wait, there's more—queries on "ye li pictures" and "ye li yao ming wedding" posted huge gains and "ye li basketball" jumped off the charts as well. Yao may be the president of Ye's fanclub, but clearly he ain't the only member.
