    that is actually a smart move

    lots of ppl like me dont have the time to search for any new news in one gargantuan thread.

    somthin like this deserves its own thread imo

    btw..hope they get hitched on the 5th, then me and Yao would have something in common.

    the 5th of August is a great day, and it has been very good to me, born on it, married on it. ;)

    In reference to East starting center/West starting center 2030: Yao

    LOL. :D Maybe, by then, some of them will be playing power forward a reinventing of the power forward position the way 7 footers started playing power forward this decade. A 7'6" power forward. Kevin Yao-nett. :eek:

    We've already had a hall of famer point guard at 6'9" (Magic)....so it would be itneresting to see how much bigger they get. The centers and forwards before the 70's seem like midgets and slow unathletic players compared to some of the athletic freaks we have these days.

    I would be happy to have either. :D Since Yao is so in love with his wife, maybe they should squirt out a bushel like in that movie "Cheaper by the dozen" Wilt Chamberlain Yao 1st son/Hakeem Yaolajuwon 2nd son/Kevin Yao-nett 3rd son/Earvin Magic Yao-son point guard 4th son. How tall is his girlfriend? She looks like she's at least 6'6".

    If I remembered it correctly....he did mentioned about it.

    And there were articles by Yang Yi and others telling us how Yao Ming got rejected for 3 years by Ye Li, ever since he met her as a 17-year-old in the same basketball court where they trained, and how Yao Ming managed to win her heart over.

    I had all those stories with me, all fully translated and posted on YMM in the past.

    If fans over here like to read, I can dig out from the YMM database, and repost them here.

    china wouldnt allow it.. isnt it true that the basketball players have to get approval from the chinese gov't to whom they can marry?... i dont think its a coincidence that yao's parents are like 6'9 and 6'7... and now their 7'6 son marries a 6'8 chick from china..

    Hey man....IMHO, your above statement just matched your nick nicely, but without a T appending to it....(Yes, I mean BUSH!!ttt !!!)

    China has changed over the years. And people including star athletes are now free to choose whom they like, love and marry.

    You might not have seen pictures of the girl friends of some of the up and coming basketball players of China, like those of Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian. All beautiful super models/actresses that are not related to basketball or sports.

    In the case of Yao Ming, Ye Li is his first love. He met her at the tender age of 17 on the basketball court, when he and she belonged to the same team from Shanghai. (Ye Li played for Shanghai Octopus, and Yao Ming played for Shanghai Sharks.)

    It was sort of love at first sight for Yao Ming. But Ye Li was not impressed by Big Yao at first....and it took Yao Ming almost 3 years before he finally won her heart.

    So definitely it was not what you thought....nothing prearranged, not a conspiracy at all.

    yeah and Yao's parents were set up together by friends, like a date am I right? that wasn't the evil Chinese government planning world domination by making ultimate NBA players was it? If anything the government was doing to Yao's parents before he was born, was giving them the shaft in making them work crappy low level basketball jobs, I think, can't remember the whole story

    I thought you just had more benefits with 1 or less child, not you can only have one? Plus it's Yao Ming, he can do what he wants, like live in the USA after he retires.
