    He normally goes back to his motherland during the Summer
    Returning to the Rockets exhausted and becoming an injury risk

    A typical family of 4 could comfortably sleep on Yao

    Big men are just on an accelerated timeline. They can be dominant for a brief moment.

    Their time in the sun comes and goes fast.

    Stern let him get hammered in the paint. No way the NBA now would let Wemby get punished like that.

    We never saw Yao's prime and we never saw Yao shoot 3's.

    We were robbed.

    To Yao or not to Yao. That is the question.

    Na, people that watched, that seen him develop, that seen his MVP level play before he got hurt, knew how great he was.

    Only new school fans casuals would be sleeping on Ming.
