    So weird:

    Yao is 33 years old.
    Dwight is 27 years old.

    Yet as their head-to-head stats clearly show, Yao is Dwight's daddy.

    I can't believe he's still so young -- it feels like he should be 43 yo... weird.

    I will always wonder how things might have played out if the Rockets had put a 30 minute cap on Yao's play time from the very beginning. By the time they started scaling back his minutes, it was too late to make a difference.

    Happy Birthday!! Don't put too much weight. Maybe one day you might decided to play again for Rockets like Deke. Don't forget, you are still young..... :)

    Wow, in spite of everything that happened, it's sometimes hard to remember that he's still so young...

    Happy birthday big man

    Happy Birthday, big Yao. Playing presense is missed.


    (not the place for stat talk, but in win shares per/48 minutes, Yao is actually 20TH ALL TIME. Right behind Larry Bird, ahead of Bill Russell and Dr J.

    Thats probably a big reason front office and coaches said PLAY HIM plenty, despite injury history, BEST chance to WIN)

    Maybe...but also remember that he had duties in China too, he never really had a break and he's not on PEDs like Kobe :p
