It increases bone strength significantly everywhere in the body. Although it’s not a proven drug yet, it’s been taken by thousands of people and it’s very safe, effective and easy to take (two shots over a year). The drug effect is reversible, which means that if you stop taking the drug, the bone goes back to original shape. It may be effective in bone healing, too. Maybe rockets can arrange to let Yao try the drug. I am sure it’s legal. It’s not a performance enhancing drug. It may also give Amgen a good publicity if Yao tries their product. --Liu, If this is true, Rockets please give it a shot. I would project Rockets will get a Championship this year.

Both were working under tight schedule and early signs of hazard were simply ignored. Actually Yao probably was hiding or ignoring the signs. Trainer had a blind spot. It's Rockets management fault, but in retrospect it's a system fault and epidemic. Management was fixing other pieces such as acquiring Bobby, but didn't get a good backup for Yao. He was pretty much worn and torn out for playing too much and practicing too much. The trainer should raise redflag. And what is called in management literature is "expectation pressure" or something. "Too big to fail". Yao had hidden his pain for too long and the Rockets trainer should be blamed to a large extent. He logged in excessive minutes and there are so many back-to-bak games and so intense throughout the season. Yao is no superman. It's a classic case.

ARGH!!!! This definitely seemed like Rockets best chance to win the championship since Yao started. I wanted to see them go all the way. Now, I'll still follow and root for Yao's Rockets team, but can't say I'll have the same excitement. I'm totally shocked. I feel really bad for Yao since he is again going to be rehabbing in so many years. I feel even worse because this may be a chronic thing and impact his career potential. I think Rockets will still be a great team as they have been winning even when Yao has not played well during the streak, but they just don't have the same post defense and offense they'll need for the tight games in the playoffs to win it all. I think Yao should also do the shoulder surgery now since he will need to wait a few months to heal from the foot surgery anyway (kill 2 birds with 1 stone). I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!!!! ARGH!!!!

Yao is actually very, very tough. He was playing with this injury for a few days without complaining. His toe infection, he played through that. You think he wants surgery?! F*** NO! Yes he's 7'6", 300+ pounds. But he's not like the rest of the injury prone players that are over 7'0". Yao improves his skills every year. I'm looking forward to see him do well in the Olympic, and continue his dominance in the paint next season in the NBA.

It was just like a thunderbolt. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the headline of your article. I was hoping I read it wrong. Boy, what a heartbreaking news. I watch Houston basketball games because of Yao; now I wonder what to do. Thinking back, when I saw Yao played so many minutes per game this season, I started to worry and wondered what would be the consequences. It really is a nightmare it ended like this.

Sometimes, people will rise to the occasion when faced with adversity, so maybe his Rockets will but I would not bet my sub prime mortgaged house on that. What this injury shows is the character of the man, who has played under immense scrutiny, biased criticism of his game and a host of people waiting for him to fail since entering the league but maintained his composure throughout. Even those analysts who criticized his low production in recent games, did not know that he was playing with pain - now they know. I wish him a speedy recovery and a stronger return in the Olympics and in Houston next year. On a lighter side, another blogger commented on the injury - Yao "made in China". Take care yourself, K John,
