    Prime Yao could play on one foot. Dwight plays like he has two left feet.

    Congrats Yao!

    I truly wish we could have got at least 5 more years out of this unique player.

    Dude worked his ass off and became the best center in the NBA for a time. Money mid range game. Post moves with both hands on both blocks. Sheer size made him a defensive problem for most teams.

    Miss the big fella, apart from being an amazing basketball player, he is a better human being than most. Huge heart, selfless and always represented himself and the team in a great manner. Well deserved and makes me proud as a fan. Cheers to Yao!
