Yao Mania!
Recently YaoMania had an opportunity to talk with Rockets.com writer Jason Friedman, who was nice to enough to spend some time with us at Toyota Center.

Yao said on Wednesday that an examination shows that the bones in his foot are healing properly after having surgery in late July. Obviously, this is great news, but he knows for sure he'll miss all of next season...

Many of us have been wondering what Yao has been up to the past few months. We've seen periodic updates and photos on his Facebook page as well as YaoMingMania.com. But we haven't seem much video of him. Until now...
