    The gentlest of giants is sitting on a training table courtside at the University of Texas' Cooley Pavilion, his colossal frame resting against the wall while his left leg is wrapped in a device that stretches from his ill-fated foot to his hip. There might have been a time not so long ago when the pride of China was discussed as one of the best players of this era, an iconic talent who would bring basketball to his homeland and a championship to his Houston Rockets, but this is an MVP performance of a different kind.

    Nice read. Lock if already posted.

    Just one championship is all I ask from the basketball gods. Let this man have his moment.

    I wonder sometimes if we should just call Yao the Bionic Man. The guy has had so many scalpels, pins, and medical procedures shoved into him that he may as well serve as a medical textbook on foot procedures.

    When you see other athletes that are selfish and arrogant and they are winning, it just sucks. I want Yao to get a ring so bad.

    Unless the Ming Juice gives him admantium laced bones, I think the hateraide will continue on.
