    By all means it should be....the crazy thing from the game last night was hearing that his parents still live in H-town even though he basically stays in China full-time now. Kinda wished he was around Houston more to be part of the organization but obviously home is where the heart is.

    Yes. Yao changed our history, that's a no-brainer

    Without a question. Yao as a Rocket in Rockets history:

    #10 in games played.
    #5 in win shares.
    #6 in total points.
    #4 in total rebounds.
    #2 in total blocks.
    #5 in FG %.
    #3 in efficiency rating.
    #2 in all NBA team selection.
    #2 in all star appearance.
    Great ambassador of the game. Face of the franchise for many years. A future HOFer.

    A player like that will get jersey retired in every NBA franchise.
