This will likely be something closer to the pitter-patter of big feet. Houston Rockets center Yao Ming and wife Ye Li are expecting a baby, their first, according to reports.

Yao checks in at 7'6", but the wife is no slouch at 6'2". So this kid is gonna pop out the size of a science-fiction creation.

Yao has been helping manage his old team, the Shanghai Sharks, while out with a foot injury. Thus the time for baby making.
