Since you're the genuis here, please enlighten me and the Rockets organisation as well why they vowed to retire his jersey ?

Maybe because he helped us in many ways, because he's a great human being. did a lot of good work outside the job, was part of the legendary 22 game winning streak, was there everytime Yao went down, went down like a soldier and sacrificing his body, sacrificed by coming back in 2009 when he could've gone to the Celtics and have a real shot at a championship thus staying loyal....need more ?

YES!!! And Toronto should retire Hakeem's number. Wizards should retire Jordan's number. Payton's at Miami. Malone's at Lakers. Anyone else I miss?

Back to topic. Other than yao, I can't see anyone else.

Yes, he was great to the Rockets, but you dont retire numbers just because a player played two or three seasons here, the rockets didnt retire barkley's number.

Also the rockets didnt retired jersey numbers like: horry, elie, thorpe, maxwell they contributed like mutombo (maybe more).

If a team should retire his jersey should be denver or atlanta.
