Among the TV commercials during the Super Bowl was one for Apple Computer that featured diminutive Verne Troyer, Mini-Me in the Austin Powers flicks, along with a tall guy.

Very tall.

Really, really tall.

You're going to be seeing a lot of this fellow, and there is a lot of him to see, at 7 1/2 feet and 296 pounds. You may think the commercial was only a pitch for PowerBook laptops, but it was just as much about selling Yao Ming, 22, the former Shanghai Sharks player who is a rookie center for the NBA's Houston Rockets.

And it wasn't the only ad he stars in. Yao also is in a Visa Check Cards spot that plays on the confusion between his name and the phrase 'yo, man.'

Yao is wowing American basketball fans with his auspicious debut, killer baseline spin move and awesome height. But the marketing machinery now roaring into action hopes to make Yao much more than the NBA flavor of the month. It aims to create a global sports star and pitchman who can slam-dunk American products into the vast Chinese shopping basket. According to ESPN.com, a report from the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business says Yao could be the key to selling everything from electronics to sneakers to 460 million people who live in China's urban areas.

Here's what you need to know now about Yao:

Team Yao: That's the marketing machine promoting him. The team includes marketing, legal, financial and accounting experts, a group of business master's degree students from the University of Chicago, agents and representatives in China, says the Houston Chronicle.

Yao's endorsements this year are estimated to be worth about $10 million, according to USA Today. So far they include Apple, Visa and Sorrent, a California company that develops inexpensive video games for mobile phones and other wireless devices. Sorrent's 'Yao Ming Basketball,' a 3-D, two-on-two animated game, will be marketed in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore soon, with U.S. availability later this year. It's estimated that China has 200 million cell phone users, compared to 120 million here. He also made an endorsement deal with Nike before he left China and was named the first Sino-American Goodwill Ambassador for 2003 by Genesis Technology Group.

The Rockets, of course, are also promoting their hot property. They've handed out Yao-size growth charts at games and Yao bobbleheads and rubber ducks are in the works.

No tallboys for the Tall Boy: Don't expect him to endorse alcohol products. Yao doesn't drink, and Team Yao says he'll only endorse products he uses. The Houston Rockets, however, signed China's Yanjing Beer to a $1 million sponsorship deal.
