Hi guys, just read this on yao ming mania....I guess we will know more about if he is retiring or not retiring after this.....I"m guessing if he is holding a press conference, it will be to announce his retirement!! "Yao to have press conference on July 20th about future career plans July 9th, 2011 by John Raymond just reported in the forum that Yao will hold a press conference on July 20th to announce his future career plans. Based on this information, it’s pretty safe to say that Yao will make formal his retirement announcement during this press conference. If he wasn’t going to retire, you would expect that he would clear it up right away. But we’ll see…
Maybe he wants to be like Lebron and make "the decision" to tell us he's going to keep his talents in Houston........Maybe.
strange strange that he would hold a press conference in China with no rockets staff, coaches, les, etc.....maybe he isn't retiring
