Yao is everything a professional athelete should be; Skilled, humble, modest, hard-working and a great team-mate. All these great qualities while bearing the tremendous burden of being THE national hero for the largest country in the world.
+100 very well said

- I would love to do a biomechanics study on him. The injuries don't surprise me- his frame is massive, but it is held together by parts that are meant for a human nearly two feet shorter.

- Also, does anyone know of the types of endorsements he has? He could blow lebron away in the Chinese market.

It gets worse.

The commies also make him play during off season in the U.S. in China. That's why he was injured so many times.

I hate commies, foreign or domestic.
