On Monday, we heard some terrible news that the Houston Rockets may lose center Yao Ming for the 2009-2010 season and there is a chance that he might be gone forever. This is horrible and sad news for Rockets fans although they couldnt have expected the "Ming Dynasty" to last over ten years.
The main reason why Yao career was going to short in the first place... he is 7'6. There arent many people in the world that keep a career going when they are that tall. Its been proven before with guys like Shawn Bradley, Manute Bol, and Gheorghe Muresan. Granted those guys are nowhere near as good as Yao has been. The Rockets built their franchise around this guy for the last five years in addition was a game away and an older point guard away from going to the Western Conference Finals last year. But now it seems like its all crumbling down with the news of Yao.
I dont believe that Yao is a bust by any means because he made the Rockets instantly better and provided them so much profit more so than disappointment. You had to expect the injuries were coming and Yao worked so hard to become a better player. Only two years did Yao not get his team to the playoffs so to say that he is a failure is absolutely ridiculous.
I hope that Yao's career is not over and he can come back with great success for at least two more years.
