His father, Félix, is Congolese and was a track and field athlete who competed in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. His mother, Elodie de Fautereau. His dad and mom are 6'6 and 6'3.

Yao is the only child of 6-foot-7-inch Yao Zhiyuan and 6-foot-3-inch Fang Fengdi, both of whom were former professional basketball players.

Tall athletic parents that produce monster sized humans

Even significantly more crazy, Gheorghe Muresan was 7'7 and his mom and dad were 5'7 and 5'9

I am 100% dead serious when i say I think there is at least a 50% chance that lebron is a genetically modified human being and in turn, has no father.

I am dead serious. I believe lebron was grown in a test tube and then artificially implanted into gloria james and carried to term. no human being should possess his combination of size, strength and athleticism. AND to book it all out, he's very intelligent too. (besides the decision) remember how much poise he had just coming into the league at 18 years old? it's un-natural. how often have TV analysts described him as a "freak of nature" .....maybe it's truer than we know.

I am serious. we all know (and I swear I am not saying this to be insulting or mean) that lebron's mom was a crack whore (is drug addicted prostitute better?) it's just a fact, it happened. I am NOT saying this to be mean, in fact I am a heroin addict and know a few woman who have sold themselves for dope, it happens. they are not bad people.

and the government has a history of using prostitutes and impoverished people in "experiments." read about MK-ULTRA. it happened. the CIA used to have prostitutes slip LSD to johns and then the agents would watch what happened thru 2-way mirrors. the government helped start and continue the crack epidemic of the 80s.

I believe that lebron was a precursor experiment to create super soldiers. something where they were just like "well let's test it out on some poor people that no one will notice and see if we can get any results before we sink more billions into this."

it's not all that crazy. you don't think the government has interest in creating genetically modified super human soldiers? we know for a FACT it does. it's been documented. you don't think russia or china has interest in such a thing? you know they do. and anything russia or china is or would be doing we are doing. to do it first and do it better.

he's some kind of experiment that they just monitored from a distance and let keep growing. and i mean this was probably initially started with just a few people who believed it could be done and that's why it started small and covert using regular civilians. until they could show the results to the higher ups and say "look at this, you don't wanna fund this on a larger scale?"

and where else would such a person end up besides in a professional sports league?

I think there is probably some secret base(s) out there that are now filled with people like lebron, younger than him probably. if they couldn't see how well the experiment worked until he was about 16-18 years old (he was pretty much a full grown man at 16 and could have came off the bench for any NBA team if not started) than maybe there are a bunch of 9-15 year old super humans like lebron (not copies of him but given the same genetic boost that he was) eating chow in some secret barracks right now.....

until someone comes forth and the DNA test shows him to be his father (and a bunch have come forward and been shown not to be) than I will believe this is AT LEAST possible..

Can I add that he doesn’t even have to read a book to know the book?

[–] DonChile27@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

with modern tech and warfare u think a super soldier is ready needed? and also who cloned tyrone?

[–] DammitEd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

who cloned tyrone?

A-tier 90's cult classic movie in an alternate universe

[–] Greaves624@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My dad was 5'9, my mom 5'10, I'm 6'6. Not sure what that means for my kid lol

[–] larrylegend1990@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How tall was the milkman?

[–] supremehat27@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But did I ask?

[–] ESLsucks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I think it is even crazier that knowing how huge Wemby is at 7'3.5" barefoot, Yao is reported to be over 7'5" barefoot.

Pretty sure they are both aliens.

[–] Yommination@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The picture of Yao and Shaq is wild. Shaq is at Yao's chin at best

[–] Disabled_Robot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wasn't the legend that Yao was the bred product of two athletes and given a bunch of growth hormone and other concoctions to become the giant we know

[–] Whiskers_Fun_Box@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep. And they basically forced him to train basketball from a young age and he hated it.

[–] AnotsuKagehisa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds like your typical Asian parents

[–] The_real_bandito@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wemby is slightly shorter? Damn.

[–] idkjay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yao just drank more milk than Wemby

[–] Lakerman1989@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I read that as Wemby's parents are the same height as Yao Ming.

[–] maremmacharly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is also about family history, I am only 6'5 and my wife is quite short at 5'9, but we have a lot of tall people in the family. Our son is crazy tall so far though, if he keeps going like this he will be taller than wemby.

[–] WorthAppointment4171@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How tall is your kid?

[–] larrylegend1990@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

5’9 is tall for a women…

[–] bbqyak@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The code has been cracked. The secret formula.

[–] Status-Shock-880@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“Nearly the exact height.” So… not the exact height. Got it.

[–] DontBanMe_IWasJoking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

imagine if Yao and Wemby had a baby

[–] PaulMcPaulersn7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I actually made a list of 34 scenarios online where they might meet and “get down to business”. Google “Yao Ming x Wemby Rule 34” for more info

[–] ajefx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

speaking of Gheorghe Muresan, he has two sons, George and Victor. George is 6'8" and Victor 6"11"

That means in just about every situation his kids are in, they're the tallest person in the room. Except for when George is with his dad, who is almost a full foot taller

On a side note, Gheorghe sat in front of me at a summer league game about five years ago. Even though he was three rows below me, he was still obstructing my view

[–] makashiII_93@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

IG models going to be raising their height standards.

[–] Additional-Serve5542@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I met Javale McGee one time. First time I’ve seen a 7 footer in my life. He was long and tall. Considering I’m only 5’4. Haha

[–] Lower_Ad_5670@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You forgot to tell his mother is a former basketball player and basketball coach.

[–] Choccybizzle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I swear I saw that Yaos dad was 6’10

[–] KrayzieBoneLegend@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gheorghe is still my favorite player ever. What a great human being.

[–] Repulsive-Row-6182@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Code cracked

[–] lapuertadepizza@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

6'3" is an absolutely huge woman

[–] MamiSoldier323@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gheorghe most certainly had acromegaly but did Yao?

[–] Jack_Shitlord@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It always feels like it's the 6+ foot mom that does it
