Yao Ming Retirement

Yao Ming Retired after 9 years in the pro. It was because of that ankle that was very hard to go threw. His career stats 19.0 points per game 9.2 rebounds a game 6.7 defensive rebounds. His best year the 07-08 season with 22.0 points per game 10.8 rebounds per game 7.7 defensive rebounds per game.

The one it benefits the most is Houston Rockets. What will they do now that Aaron Brooks left and Goran Dragic is the point guard and Luis Scola. With no superstar can't believe I'm saying this but that is a worse line up then suns traded Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson.

There is some blogs that say is Yao a Hall Of Famer. Well he did carry that team threw all the years, But never won a title or got to the Western conference finals. I think no, but he has a great state line for a 7,6 for height.

What will china think about the retirement for Yao Ming. Will the NBA have less viewers or will there be more viewers. China watches Basketball mostly because of Yao Ming.

Video: Karl Malone is now in the Hall of Fame

 We pretty much knew Karl Malone was going into the Hall of Fame the minute he was eligible. Heck, he, himself, knew he was going to get into the NBA Hall of Fame when he was eligible.

But that didn't stop that rough-nosed, thick-skinned, soft-hearted "Mailman" from delivering a well-executed speech. Check it out:

That's powerful stuff. This kind of makes Michael Jordan's speech look arrogant and rude. (Oh, wait.)

And while we knew Karl Malone was a big softy, we never thought he'd almost bring viewers to tears. That includes me, people.

It makes you feel bad for him, but also kind of good at the same time. Bad that he never won a title, despite being ridiculously close. And good because he got into the most prestigious club in basketball, while getting to thank his mom in front of millions.

I don't know about Karl, but that's good enough for me. Boy, if only Scottie Pippen, the guy who helped prevent Malone from getting a title, wasn't getting inducted the same day.
