    My friend said Yao was not limping nor had crutches. Thought I would share. Lock it up if you want.

    edit: It was on Fry. North West side of town

    Man, he must have a stiff neck always having to look down.

    Yet he also maintains good posture. That's good parenting. Good job Mr. and Mrs. Yao!

    How does it like if people stare at you and watch every move of you wherever you go? I hope I will be as famous one day to experience it. :)

    No limp and no crutches means the Rockets definitely made up the whole broken foot injury! An obvious ploy to allow Yao more time to drink more coffee. :D

    The Rockets would probably prefer he stay "injured" just a little longer to keep him off the CNT.

    Team Yao needs to set up a sponsorship with Starbucks, easy money there.

    You can't just sign a dude just because he is Chinese. :rolleyes:







    :D Seriously though, I thought Yao could barely walk at this time? Can we be sure it's a recent photo? If it's indeed Yao walking without any assistance, I think he can be ready for the world cup.
