    and after typing that, that was meant as to solve the riddle, and was not meaning to offend any language, as after I typed it, I could see some taking that out of context.

    So my apologies, if you read it that way, was not my point; when I wrote the "riddle was solved"; so to speak!

    Would a prime Yao have worked with this team? Our team isn't really geared towards a half court offense. It'll also be pretty damn hard to drive in the lane if Yao is clogging the lane for post positions

    Lin looks absolutely tiny next to Yao.

    And Lin is 6"4.

    Not even playing and Yao is in the trainer's room. :p

    All kidding aside, nice to see him around.

    So good to see the big fella with all the young guys talking with them & such!

    Man I miss that guy so much! What he did was amazing, but what could have been for that man!
    He had a great career despite his injuries just the unfortunate luck of being so big.

    Yao's only 32...should still be near the prime of his career. :(

    Man seeing Yao again is sad sucks knowing we'll never see him play again. Too short of a career. Happy he's back in Houston wonder if he'll be apart of AllStar Weekend.

    While Yao certainly is larger than Lin, the effect in that photo is exaggerated due to the use of wide angle lens and the perspective/distortion it creates.

    Yao ain't fat - he's basically normal at this point. He always had a big face.

    Yao was definitely a decent scorer but probably should have been a better rebounder. With his size advantage, you would think he would be near Tyson Chandler's efficiency (68% FG). Pretty amazing how good a FT shooter he was.

    Yao Ming's stats
