"Kai ri a check?"
"Yo!"
"Yao."
"Yo!"
"Yao."
"Yooooo!"
"Yao."
I wish the guy well... but he's too big and too heavy. I think he's going to continue having foot problems during the long haul of the NBA season.
Hope Yao's foot is completely healed.
Rockets deserve a break.
I thought he has that new great metal food and nothing can happen....lol
Damn thats ed up.
No pun intended, I'm sure.
Agreed with the well wishes for Yao. How can you not root for this guy?
OP - Where did you get that pic in your sig?
Chinese Basketball Administrators ran Yao's ass in the ground. The guy literally played year round for about the first 5-6 years of his NBA career. Unfortunately for him, the only time he got any rest was when he was injured.
Fulfilling his obligation to the National team, to prepare for the Bejing Olympics, was certainly part of his NBA contract and that's fine. However, it wasn't necessary for him to play each and every offseason leading up to those games.
I've always been convinced that his career would be shortened because he was never allowed to get any rest during the offseason. I fear that is exactly what is happening. Yao is a good guy, who really worked hard to become a great player. I hope he's not forced to retire early. He's good for the NBA and the Rockets.
Guys that tall don't have long careers because of all the stress that their lower body gets. Before the injury, he was clearly the best center in the league. I'm actually a fan of Yao and his no nonsense approach to the game.
This is the same reason why Wang Zhizhi wanted to defect to the US a couple of years back.
Yao might as well just retire now, he's delaying the inevitable...he will be injured early into the season, again.
He never has fully reached his potential, he has what it takes to dominate but if he can't stay healthy that is probably why he feels he may have to retire. Kind of sad really, Yao is a likeable player and is all about helping his team win.
Yao is arugably a top 2 center in this league if he is healthy. He can actually score with post moves rather than dunks unlike Dwight
Although I agree with the D. Howard take, the word healthy needs to be emphasized a whole lot more.
Agree. The commitment to his national team ed up his NBA career
Eh, he's still a rich.
I hope the best for him, we lack the bigs in the NBA today, if he goes, this will diminish it even more
That's bad man !
The guy is amazing when healthy. If he doesn't come back, the Rockets are going to have another bad year ..haha
Gotta feel for the dude. He's a great player, had to make a major adjustment culturally and just when he gets a feel for the American game and starts to put it down, he can't stay healthy.
Yao = an Asian Bill Walton
it's just bad karma
should come be backup for splitter
^^ lol splitter
