	Yao Ming Height - Ming's
		Yao was 7-5 1/2 barefoot before he was drafted, it was rounded down to 7-5 on his draft listing BECAUSE he chose to be listed without shoes on, strange policy but that is how they do it, YES it shuts up all the people who keep wrongly sticking to the claim he is "really 7-5".......
		So now people ASSUME Kareem is 7-2 with shoes on, since that's the assumption for all players now, and because he was listed at 7-2, some people probably think he is like 7 feet even, yet he was almost 7-4 and would be still if he has not shrunk.
		Yao was then given one and one/fourth inches of height, to 7'6 1/4" for his "floor height", which is then dropped to 7'6".

	Matthew Yglesias: Yao and Ewing
		Yao's development -- or lack thereof -- may prove to be the highlight of Van Gundy's tenure in Houston.

	World Report 381 — November 2003 #16
		Work began in 1997, but it is anticipated that the one million Yao people who speak Chiyao will not have the Bible in their own language until 2010 at the earliest.

		However, Christians are in the minority in the south, where the Yao people live.
