    If you don't remember, a while back, Charley Rosen's alleged that Yao had the disease known as gigantism. I know we had a dedicated thread about this issue, and many people emailed Rosen back. Did Rosen issue a response?

    :mad:

    Yao's parents were in the National Basketball team.

    Yao's girlfriend play as C in National team.

    It is not Giganism, it is a legend! :D


    Is there such all-nationalteam-player family ever existed? I guess not.

    I've never heard the rumor, but if it were true it would be something to worry about. It has significant health ramifications. I'm not sure about the status of it now, but I believe it used to be an early death sentence.

    That said, I had never heard this rumor before and I doubt it's true.

    Under his logic, yes, because he shows below average thought process. Just like Yao has gigantism because he has above average height.

    :confused: I don't know which is more shocking -- you haven't heard the angry uproar toward Rosen on this board on this issue recently or you actually seem to think there may be some truth to it...

    Don't worry. Through dogged and dedicated medical research, Clutchfans R&D dept. managed to prove it likely untrue.

    As an aside, we also managed to prove Rosen a dumbass b****.
