    a much loved player. definitely a hero in that Laker game.

    Not quite a "rockets hero" though.

    He's a hero

    He's also an inspiration to Asians who actually watch basketball

    Rockets hero.

    Global hero, carrying the weight of a large, great nation around the world.

    My hero!

    This here is one of them trap things.

    "I'm just one of the 1.3 billion Chinese," Yao said in answer to hero question, in 2003.

    Much love and respect for Yao. I'll always be disappointed that he didn't have the team success that would have consummated 'hero' status.

    Watching this Blazers Rockets series always brings me back to Game 1 in 2009 against the Blazers when Yao went off. That performance kind of set the tone for the rest of that series.

    Thanks for the highlights. Was waiting for that behind-the-back dribble, but that's OK. Awesome Yao!

    Yao 12-12 in the playoffs was so awesome. I cry because we would have went to the finals that year.

    Damn... We gave up 81 points for THE ENTIRE GAME!!! This Rockets team right now is incapable of holding a team to 81 points in 3 quarters. :(
