    Just heard on TV. Yao will be in Houston in All-Star week, and Rockets organization will discuss with him about the details.

    Well deserved, a consummate pro. It is still funny to me to see him buy Grand Theft Auto game at Best Buy.

    That man gave his life to the rockets. UNLIKE some other Asian player on this current team.

    Example going to China in the offseason instead of training hard.

    Bible thumping is more important than working on his game.

    Outstanding news. Great player and person. He definitely deserves it. Shame injuries cut his career short
