Would really suck(even more) if I was a Rocket fan.

Rockets' Yao Ming has decided to retire from the NBA, league sources tell Y! Sports. He informed the league office within past 48 hours.

Damn that really sucks. Too bad his body could never hold up, dude was a ing beast when he was healthy.
he played like 82 games his first couple seasons, then he just played too much ball during the offseason and was ran into the ground
No use in coming back and getting injured again

75% of Rocketfans are heading to the exits, ladies and gentlemen
There goes the entire value of the Rockets franchise.
Nice guy, pretty good player, a credit to the NBA. Tough luck.
It was easier to contain him in 2k11 than 2k9 at least.. remember that game?
the all cheeser team online for 2k9
James White, Gerald Green, Yao Ming, LeBron James, Brandon Bass
lol yeah Yao has always been unstoppable on 2k and he blocks EVERYTHING.
Damn, and I thought he'd at least let his foot heal and step back out on the court to at least try. Oh well...next, we need to draft the next Hakeem. Either that or this....

Reminds me of the last scene from the Worlds Greatest Athlete.
damn ....... really sucks ....... I bet his feet are happy though
I still wish he would have tried like Shawn Livingston did after his horrendous knee blowout. Maybe it's different here because it's his bones. damn!
that's always been 2k's glaring flaw IMHO, height matters more than anything
not exactly unrealistic but still
I feel bad for Yao, dude was literally pulled in two directions at once at all times thanks to being a genetically engineered commie
There isn't going to be a next Hakeem. Lets start with drafting someone whose destiny isn't in a suit and tie as their uniform
Livingston blew out his knee. Yao's bones break. See the difference? And he tried like 5 goddamn times to come back.
Ralph Sampson, the sequel.
What's sad is that if this does mark the end of his NBA career, Sam Bowie will have played in more NBA games in his career than Yao did.
retire? china will work him into the ground and put him on the court even they are force to play 4 on 5 with 1 man camping in defense or offense...
Poster at another board : "Worst day of my life"![]()
Damn shame. One of the most unique players the NBA will ever see and a damn good and important one too. A healthy Yao rivaled Dwight Howard for the le of best center in the league. Also his skills, shooting touch, etc. were great for a player of any size. Off the court he was as classy as they come and was and still is an important ambassador for the sport.![]()
If you put your ear to the ground and listen carefully, you'll hear the sound of millions weeping in China.
If you go to clutchfans, you'll also get that same reaction
