    So disappointed in what happened with his career, and in never seeing what could have been. :(

    But why can't he just wait for it to heal in case there is no season this year?
    Oh well. I enjoyed watching him play throughout his career. Where do the Rockets go from here.

    Too bad we couldn't outfit him with cyborg legs. A damn shame.

    At least there will be no more 'What if' scenarios. Yao's the reason I became a Rockets fan and I'll keep supporting the Rockets after he is gone.

    This is a bummer.

    I always wanted the Rockets to be successful with Yao.
