    I agree with you there. Especially those 12-16 hour flights, those are real brutal.

    See the first photo. He doesn't have to jump. That guy of Dallas is 7'1, right?

    My guess is that his vertical is not impressive.

    W&S, where did you get the images of Yao in the pajamas? I didn't know he was already doing publicity photos for the Rox. Or are you a Photoshop wiz?

    Has anyone noticed that Yao plays with a red rubber band on his left arm?
