Yao Ming’s Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech

[Vinnamese]

"I'm a Texan...and a Houston Rocket for life..."
Damn...Yao straight up representing...like a savage! LOL

[westsenkovec]

We the black delegation choose Yao Ming

[chrishaugan]

Yao Ming sounds like a black guy with a Chinese accent, lol guess that's what happens when you learn from your teammates

[marshallwilson]

It takes guts to go up in front of an entire country and speak a language as different from your own as can be. Props to Yao

[EyeLoveTheStars]

Yao's English improved IMMENSELY. I remember back in Wow.

[drjoe]

He spoke no english when he came in the league much respect to him

[owengodfrey]

I love that line "because i need more practice than him" hahaha

[cq]

Honestly, it was Yao Ming who brought NBA to the market in China. Yao made more and more children fall in love with basketball

[JackieFang]

Yao Ming deserves to get this position in HOF 100 percent. Congrats, Big Yao!

[davemccrea]

that was funny when he said his daughter was not there because she chose soccer over basketball

[DA-nbhm]

Lmfao! That practice joke killed me. Congrats, Yao!

[jerrybronham]

to any of you who don't think Yao deserves to be in the HoF, it's clear you didn't watch him play. Watch any of his highlights from 2003-2009. He wrecked everybody's shit.

[omar]

"Dikembe i put you last because you look like the oldest of the three" IM DEAD lol

[kevinkuenn]

It's really shocking to me that anyone would doubt Yao Ming's place in the Hall of Fame. It's the BASKETBALL Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame. He was the most dominant player in the history of the Chinese League, was one of the greatest Olympic basketball players in history.

In fact, one of the main reasons his career was cut short was his insistence on playing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics on a badly injured foot. His desire to represent his country in the year they were the Olympic host more than likely cost him millions of dollars, but he did it anyway. Nobody is more deserving of being inducted than Yao Ming, congrats to him.

[damitrimoore]

maybe the most unfair 2k player in history

[hussainalsharifa]

Such a humble guy ... Shame his career ended too soon

[ShietEverywhere]

I love Dikembe because every time he laughs it looks like its the new best moment of his life.

[quintessences]

This speech low key made me shed some tears, he's such a humble man.

[dmanmanley]

one of the best center's ever to play the game bro

[Colmenero]

Yao ming is a Texan and a rocket for life...Hey kevin durant..what are you?
