Re: Will Yao be remembered as a legend?
If he wasn't Chinese, he'd be a nobody. What he contributed to the NBA was nothing more than making it more popular in Asia. The dude has limited skills and in no way a legend. Not even a top 50 center

Re: Yao Ming retires from the NBA
Damn, this is sad. He would definitely be a top 10 center of all time if he had stayed healthy.
Great player, but most importantly, a great person and a great ambassador for the game.

Re: Yao Ming retires from the NBA
I really think all the weight he added is what did his feet in. I mean he played 82, 82, and 80 games his first 3 seasons.

No, it was playing for the Chinese national team that killed his career. Originally Posted by eliteballer

Re: Yao Ming retires from the NBA
For those of you blaming China for his injuries, you guys do understand that the NBA was a second priority for Yao and that his first priority was playing for his national team right?

Re: Yao Ming retires from the NBA
it's also a shame cause he was steadily improving every year, it wouldn't be so bad if his skills were stagnating or declining before the injuries.

Re: Yao Ming retires from the NBA
So let me get this straight, according to some people.............
playing 5-8 games every couple years for China "wore down his body", but playing entire seasons in the NBA did nothing..........
Yes, the general level of intelligence in this forum is truly astonishing.

Re: Will Yao be remembered as a legend?
He'll be remembered the same way people remember guys like Ralph Sampson. He was at the peak of his play during his injury, basically a 25-10 guy who could have dominated for years to come. Shit, I always hate to see careers cut short.
