That was Yao Ming. His career was cut short when his body betrayed him and his knees [[like Ralph Sampson's) proved not to be capable of supporting an athlete who was that big and that athletic. People are bigger, stronger, and faster than at any time in history but the human knee is as frail as it ever was and incapable of becoming structurally more supportive. Have you noticed that college and pro football linemen play with knee braces even when they are not injured?
