Happy Birthday Yao, the Dynasty & Great Wall of China. Still young. Should think about coming back and play 10 minutes per game. If Greg Oden can do it, you never know.
Hard to believe that he's been retired from the Rockets for as long as he has, and is only now turning 33. Yao should have been the bedrock of this franchise for at least a decade. So happy birthday, big fella, and know that we miss you now, and will always miss you on the court for Houston. Don't be a stranger! -
Happy Birthday Yao (or yet another reminder it ended too soon). PS: Delonte West signed with Yao's team today. Happy Birthday!
Hbd big fella. Here's to still believing you'll come out of retirement one day and give the Rockets another great year. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PZ4KLsY84AE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Si's Extra Mustard had a SI Vault photo honoring Yao's B-Day. You have to scroll down to see it because I don't know how to direct link on these new smart phone supported sites. There were a few other vault photos posted on their twitter. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Someone is celebrating a 34th birthday today... <a href="http://t.co/xD6qLWTYKf">pic.twitter.com/xD6qLWTYKf</a></p>— SI Vault (@si_vault) <a href="https://twitter.com/si_vault/status/510444598003793920">September 12, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Yao and Peyton compare hand sizes.

still so young ... sorry, you couldn't play more, but you have made wise choices in your life. come back often and inspire the nba players to invest well and continue their studies. because life is more than the nba.
