Yes Yao Ming follows the same, family name first.

Yi Jianlian too.

Eventually we always said Yao Ming even though Yao is his family name. Nobody ever called him Ming. Same with Yi Jianlian.

So maybe we will all say Yang Hansen or Yang eventually.

It's probably up to Yang/Hansen what order he wants it listed or which one used for one name.

Since that article is from official NBA.com and it follow Yao established style I'm guessing we'll start seeing his name listed as Yang Hansen

It’s funny I was just talking with my uncle and without going into a long explanation, he’s a fan of Japan and has visited a couple of times I think. I had mentioned Japanese game shows and he said something about how in Japan people are generally addressed by their last name, and that only close friends or family would refer to somebody by their first name.

我完全理解这孩子是多么年轻，多么缺乏经验。但我很高兴看到他能在那里做些什么。他在球场上传球的视野给我留下了深刻的印象。但取代德安德烈·伊顿将会很困难。#FAMS

Yeah so I think like what happened with Ming Yao, we'll probably see him eventually called Hansen Yang or maybe we're more progressive now so we'll just call him Yang Hansen like he's used to.

Can you find one Chinese player that has ever had his family name listed second?

I only recall Yao Ming name listed that way. I never heard or read it as Ming Yao. Yao was his family name. Yao was the only name on his jersey.

Yang Hansen is how it's listed on Casey NBA.com article yesterday.

My bad. I mistakenly thought Ming was Yao's family name. So it will be Yang on the jersey and he'll be called Yang Hansen.

Thanks for straitening that out for me.
 
Has his jersey been posted yet?

This isn't difficult. In China, the family name ALWAYS comes first. It's Yang Han Sen. His jersey will say Yang. If you address him by his given name, you would say Han Sen (or Hansen?). But writing or saying his full name it's always Yong Han Sen (or Hansen maybe?). No one would ever say Chairman Zedong Mao. It's Chairman Mao Zedong. Writers who put his given name ahead of his family name are simply wrong. Ignore them.

Korea also puts family name first. Kim Jong Un. Kim is family name.
 
May be showing my age a bit, but he reminds me of this song, especially the offense/defense combination with Clingan:
