yao ming is done

[ElFenix]

breaking

MRI has revealed another stress fracture in yao's left ankle. no timetable for return at this time.

🙁


edit: according to the doc they are interviewing on the radio, the bone is the bump on the inside of the ankle. it's rarely stress fractured, usually traumatically fractured. grant hill stress fractured this same bone.

thats Yao Ming? if yes, then its a non-issue and he played very less in the last couple of years and wasn't at all effective or useful to the rockets either. Only ppl missing him will be the Chinese govt who will miss mass voting for him for the all stars.

Time to retire

 

[zokudu]

Was Yao ever even that good?

 

[brainhulk]

gotta feel bad for the guy, damn the chinese national team!

 

[slayer202]

[FelixDeCat]

[neegotiator]

he's been at or close to 20-10 for the game's he's played in over the last 5 seasons. he also dominated dwight howard in just about every head to head matchup.

[OCGuy]

Next you are going to tell me Bynum is going to finally start being productive half way through the season, and then limp into the playoffs!

The curse of the lanky big man strikes again.

 

[Blintok]

The curse of the lanky big man strikes again.

I'm not sure I'd call him "lanky". His legs look like tree trunks.

Shame the guy can't stay healthy. One of the last "true" centers in the game.

Basketball is still a sport?

 

[IronWing]

Isn't Yao Ming that big square state just north of that other big square state?

 

[darkxshade]

Like all things made in China, they break easily. 😛

Uh what's the Rockets record this year? Pretty sure the Rockets miss him. They still running out a 6'7" center this year?

got Brad Miller, but yeah Chuck Hayes (that 6'7" guy) still out there

 

[OCGuy]

Will he be out wrong time?

Woo! Brad Miller...the shorter, slower, and worse scorer and worse defender than Yao. Good replacement.

😛

Not hating on Miller. I wish the guy would have retired out of Chicago. He plays with some heart and is a great team player.
