    forget about the impossible west to east and mountain stuff.

    Are you saying if I can bear a baby...!!! Then maybe. Is that what you said. I can make a huge amount of money on the Internet providing this hope...and maybe some day...I can provide Yao's baby.

    Barring some radical development in the world of science (time machine, instant bone breakage recovery, Yao clone) it won't happen. Gun to my head I'd say Yao in his current state could probably return to the NBA and have a mediocre if not excellent career. Why doesn't he? He doesn't want to go down again. Plain and simply going through a 1 year recovery every time something breaks is killer. Risking permanent foot injury on top of that makes it not worth it at all. The months of reconditioning and reconstruction is just too trying. The only way we could entice him to come back is if he didn't have to go through any of that. We can't guarantee that, no one can...

    I wish Yao the best, and believe me, I don't blame him for his decision. I love the guy for all that he did for us.

    I think it's more likely he plays for the Chinese national team again, which I don't think is totally improbable.

    So you think there's a 1% chance that someone is going to invent one of:

    A. time machine
    B. instant bone-fixing technology, or
    C. instant cloning

    within the next couple years?

    You're a pretty imaginative fella, huh?
