In all seriouness though. Glad Yao is finally getting his jersey retired. Why doesn't the Magic retire Mcgrady's jersey?
I dont think he deserves it hes a good player and all that but how many times has he taken the Rockets past the second round in the playoffs ?????
He Was one of the best centers of the 2000s Making the all star game every year he played. Also he made great contributions to the game of basketball.
Not trying to take away from Yao's legacy, the dude was amazing, and he put our city back on the map, but Yao HAD to play for China during the offseason. His parents had an arranged marriage by the Chinese government to specifically breed a basketball player, there was no way China would let him not play for them. The constant stress on his feet is the reason his career ended early. I'm not the biggest fan of Lin either, but stop using this great moment for the city of Houston, and for our Rockets, to carry on your personal agenda against a player.
how am I hating lol I just think he should of done more to get his jersey retired like maybe getting to the finals a couple times at LEAST
Well its not your choice its the Rockets, Retireing someone jersey is about respect more than individual performance. The Rockets fell that Yaos jersey needs to be up there with other Rocket legends and that no Rocket shall ever wear #11 again. There are many players who never get their jersey retired because they have not gained respect as a human being.
you know that answer <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T-Ekfbt8aew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
thats fine im just saying me IMO that he dont deserve it he cause the Rockets never went anywhere with him just cause I dont agree and have my own opinion about it doesnt mean im hating on him
Like I said its a Rockets honor its not like making the hall of fame. There should be no opinions on if he deserves it or not, if the rockets think he deserves it thats all that matters. That me telling you what NBA players jersey you should buy based on if I think they "deserve" their jersey being purchased from fans.
Oh please, that is totally false. If it were true, why wouldn't they ask them to have more than 1 kid? It was just conjecture by some Western author who wanted to sell more books.
