    Michael Jordan speaks so GLOWINGLY of Yao Ming. Legitimizes Yao's legacy and place in the sport as one of the best, ever.

    Lighten up. Like you said, it's the Onion.....that's like being offended by a Family Guy episode, or George Carlin(except that both of those things are much funnier than the Onion).

    Why is that funny? It's trying too hard to be. Not really clever or amusing.
