ok i know this is messed up but anyone else find it ironic that Yao was standing in front of a wall that said iron man?
I don't hate anyone (but the Mavericks) I just miss the greatest player in Rox history,Dream34 baby. Yao is a class guy, no doubt!
Yao retired too early IMO. He could have had some experimental procedures done that might have worked.
He gave us his all and made his money. I only wish him the best in life and family. Experimental surgeries aren't worth it with the risk of long term implications of continuing to punish his body.
Well, he did hold some kind of consecutive games played record by a Rocket at one point in his career.
A door opened at the other end of the hallway and a player in a purple uniform turned and gave him a wave. "Who was that?" Yao asked. "Metta World Peace," someone told him. "Who?" "You knew him as Ron Artest." Yao Ming shook his head and grinned. "Things change," he said. :grin:
