Teared up watching this vid. Certainly such a great person that was dealt a bad hand. I will always appreciate what he did for this organization, his never say die attitude, and his willingness to put others before him.
I watched the video of Yao and chuck playing post games, bring back memories. All those people, including me sometimes, who thought we would never win anything with Yao should see how valuable He was to us fans, team and city. I miss you Yao.
Thanks for the video, Clutch. I almost forgot how much I loved Yao. It was definitely the most exciting time era for me as a Rockets fan. Had we not choked against the Jazz, there is no doubt in my mind we would have won a championship.
Just saw this on the Rockets website. Awesome! What advice would you give the young players here? Advice? Besides my offer? ROFL!
He is a bit heavier, but I think it looks worse b/c the camera angle is from down, upwards to the tall giant. That and bad lighting.
I forgot Yao Ming, but seeing this reminded me of his play and the old days. It's a shame injury ruined his career, he would still be a top 2 center today if he stayed healthy.
Anyone else notice Yao was saying "WE" a lot. Come on back Yao.....play 20 mins a game, that is good enough !!! You are a young man still, you can do it ! DD
Miss Yao , championship caliber team with him in it. Specially that L.A. series just dominating looking like dream . Glad he finally came to terms with his injury and hope he comes back more often.
Yeah, his loyalty to the team and city still shows. I think he got a little choked up when people asked about how much he misses playing. All he could say was "a lot".
This guy is a true Rocket, loyal to the city, loyal to the fans, understands the history and tradition of the Rockets big men. Post Dream, this is the best Rocket period, it's not even close.
that's not what he said. "Um, we had this chance before, and WE MISSED IT, like i said, there is no if, and we just need to face ourself and say ok we did our best and walk away" I'm interpreting that he's saying that he doesn't believe in hypotheticals "there is no if" and that they did their best. Which is ok with me. Thanks Yao!
