one was a starting PG on the teams first title squad and hit a title clinching shot in the close out game (and fan favorite), the other was a consistently injured big man whose never did jack shit in the playoffs

Johnson was a stretch but still has a better case over yao tbh

One could argue that Cuttino Mobley or Steve Francis would be more deserving, but that revenue from BigChina trumps skill and longevity.

[LittleCriminal]

Ming brought in more revenue due to his overseas ties/heritage to the city of houston and the rockets organization.

Dude is an Asian version of Greg Oden..

Thats the only reason why this slut is getting his shit jersey retired. Period.

[Mitch]

Team of the people who retired Bowen's jersey shouldn't talk, tbh

They retired his jersey because he sold millions of jerseys in China.

Lakers will retire Kobe's jersey for and only for the same reason
