He should have retired 4 years ago
sad for him. class act. but even when healthy he was nothing more than a 30 min a game guy. after 5 minutes of running he looked like a 500 pound man running a marathon. his legacy is he made kobe bryant even richer than he could have dreamed of

This is a pretty dope Yao throwback, tbh
Better than the TMac model for sure.
Yao was a great player. I wish he could have stayed healthy. I just hope Oden doesn't suffer the same fate.
Oden wont make not even Yaos 486 RS and 28 playoff games...

More!
Today YAHOO! Sports announced that Yao Ming plans to retire from the NBA.
But according to a report from Chinese Web site Sina's sport's section, Yao has made no decision to leave the Houston Rockets.
According to Yao's Chinese agent Zhang Jiming, the star will not retire from the league, despite reports by YAHOO!
As with the recent questions over reports that Chinese ex-leader Jiang Zemin died, Chinese media is pitted against the foreign presses.
If Yao Ming has indeed decided to 'sit this one out' forever, maybe it's because the basketball star has taken quite the thrashing from opponents since becoming the top pick of the 2002 NBA draft.
Here's a little review of the injuries that may have contributed to Yao Ming's decision to sit this game out in perpetuity:
It's all about the left foot.
In 2005, he developed osteomyelitis in his left foot.
In 2006, Yao broke his left foot.
In 2011, he fractured his left ankle.
All the while, he was plagued by a slew of issues with his lower body.
In eight seasons, Yao missed 180 games.
He has a cult following in China, where basketball players wear jerseys with his name strewn across the back.

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it.
in his prime he was a fine role player but he was never close to the standard of a franchise player imho. dude was horribly overrated due mainly to the re ed support by his s fans, really a shame in the history of NBA imho
Keep sucking at the of re ville rogue
it's off to the Glue Factory for Yao, so long! hope you can fix my refrigerator magnet in a few months
As a future hall of famer, this was a very classy thing for Yao to do. The most dominant big man the NBA has ever seen will be sorely missed.
s still licking his balls even when hes already retiredjust pathetic i say, and thats the exact reason why you s are shown so little respect imho
China is crying my friends...
Thunder Dan is just baiting Rockets fans like he's supposed to.
E knows his career is done since 2yrs ago but he chose to stay till his contract expires, only to swindle da 31m bucks from dem rockets. just a quintessence of s greed imho
This forum has sorely missed the Rogue vs. Rocketfan war the past 2 seasons, imo.

That time brother Rogue and I had that long ass debate leading to the NBA forum getting shut down that night.
