I don't know Yao personally, but a lot of the guys from my floor are from the Houston area and so they are big Rockets fans, and I'm a Rockets fan as well. I enjoy watching him play. For someone who is 7'5 he is incredibly athletic. He's the son of a 6'7 father and 6'4 mother who bothed played basketball for the chinese national team. Apparently the village he comes from is near mongolia and there are dozens of men taller than 7 feet in the village, so all of you ladies here who like size, go to that village!!!
