Why did Yao Ming give up being in the Hall of Fame?

As for the reason for the abandonment, the reason given by Yao Ming's team is that it is too early to compete for the Hall of Fame Outstanding Contribution Award. Since it is too early, why did Yao Ming get nominated for the Hall of Fame? The reason is simple, Yao Ming was nominated for Hall of Fame shortly after retiring, not out of intention.

In other words, Yao Ming was nominated.

At the retirement ceremony in July, Yao Ming made a speech, saying most about his gratitude and saying that he would continue to devote himself to basketball in the future. As for the issues related to the Hall of Fame, Yao Ming has never been involved, and his team has never considered letting Yao Ming apply for Hall of Fame in advance. On the contrary, a certain Chinese **, who couldn't hold his breath, carefully checked the specific rules of the Hall of Fame, and applied for Yao Ming's nomination qualification for the Hall of Fame as an "outstanding contributor".

After the incident was widely reported, Yao Ming's team took a very low-key attitude, only saying that it was a good thing, and did not make any other statements.

This attitude of Yao Ming's team has said it all. Yao Ming is still young, and his basketball career after retiring is just getting started. There's not a better time to win the Hall of Fame Award for Outstanding Contribution to Fame.

First of all, the name Yao Ming can enter thousands of households because he is an NBA (Weibo) player. And as a player, Yao Ming's most eager thing is, of course, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player, just like Jordan and Magic, who pass the ball. It's also a sign of responsibility for his basketball career.

Second, even if he was inducted into the Hall of Fame for Outstanding Contribution Award, it is indeed a little early. Because, Yao Ming's contribution to the NBA is indelible. Five years later, 10 years later, Yao Ming's contribution will still be there.

Yao Ming voluntarily gave up his nomination for the 2012 Hall of Fame, which could give him more motivation. After all, Yao Ming still has a lot to do after retiring, he needs to run the team, continue to contribute to basketball, and will also devote himself to charity to help those in need.

If, in a few years, Yao Ming has achieved something in his basketball career after retirement, wouldn't it be more qualified and convincing to compete for the Hall of Fame Outstanding Contribution Award when the time comes? In short, Yao Ming's team should have full initiative in the qualification for Hall of Fame nomination, they will think more and make the right decision at the right time. That's the wisdom of a team.

However, according to the latest report from ESPN, Yao Ming has officially applied to the Naismith Hall of Fame, saying that he does not want to be a Hall of Fame candidate next year. The Naismith Hall of Fame CEO, John Dolewan, later confirmed the news, saying that he had received a ** from Yao Ming's agent today Beijing time. ** Yao's agent said that Yao Ming decided it was too early to start being a Hall of Fame candidate next year, so he decided to give up next year's Hall of Fame induction.

I didn't give up, but I just didn't participate in next year's Hall of Fame race, and I will still be in the Hall of Fame in the future!

Choose what to choose, give up what to give up...

Yao Ming has been inducted into the Hall of Fame: On April 4, 2016, Yao Ming was officially inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Yao Ming: Born on September 12, 1980 in Xuhui District, Shanghai, Yao Ming is a former Chinese professional basketball player who plays as a center.

In April 1998, Yao Ming was selected for the national team and began his basketball career. In 2001, he won the CBA regular season MVP, won the CBA championship and finals MVP in 2002, and was elected the CBA rebounding champion and block king three times, and the CBA dunk king twice. He was drafted by the NBA's Houston Rockets as the No. 1 pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, and was named to the NBA All-Star Game Team for six consecutive seasons (eight career times) in 2003-09, the NBA All-NBA Second Team twice, and the NBA All-Star Team three times.

On July 20, 2011, Yao Ming announced his retirement.

On April 4, 2016, Yao Ming was officially inducted into the 2016 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, becoming the first Chinese to receive this honor.

Yao Ming is ranked 89th in the Hall of Fame. As a legendary star of Chinese basketball, Yao Ming, as the champion selected by the Rockets in 02, did break into the NBA, if it weren't for the injury, Yao Ming's achievements would definitely be higher, and the NBA stars who were inducted into the Hall of Fame with him at that time also included O'Neal, Iverson, and Zelmoberti in ancient times. Although Yao Ming does have a pivotal position in Asian basketball, if you look at the entire world basketball world, Yao Ming's ranking is actually not ideal.

Yao Ming's personal achievementsIn the 9 years of playing in the NBA, Yao Ming averaged 19 points and rebounds and blocks per game, scoring a total of 9247 points, 4494 rebounds and 920 blocks, Yao Ming has been selected as an All-Star a total of 8 times in his career, and they are all starters, throughout NBA history, only Abdul-Jabbar (19 times), O'Neal (15 times) and Moses Malone (13 times) have been selected as All-Star starters more times than him. In fact, if it weren't for the injury, Yao Ming would definitely be able to go a lot further in this ranking, and ranking in the top 50 should not be a problem.

In the 07-08 season, Yao Ming played as long as minutes, as a big man with a height of 2.26 meters, Yao Ming's knee did have to bear a lot of pressure, which also laid the groundwork for his subsequent injury.

Yao Ming's talent is the best in Chinese basketball, and after winning the championship in the domestic league, he was selected by the Rockets with the first pick in the draft and began his NBA career as the top pick. Yao Ming's career in the NBA was not brilliant, and he did not win any honors for the team during his time with the Rockets, but he contributed to the Rockets. After retiring, he was successfully inducted into the Hall of Fame, and many people said that they did not deserve it, because the players who were inducted into the Hall of Fame generally achieved extremely high achievements and had the blessing of championships, and Yao Ming lacked in this aspect.

Yao Ming's strength is worthy of respect. At that time, many people questioned him, thinking that he would not be able to establish himself in the NBA, and then Yao Ming proved himself with a brilliant performance. In his prime, he could even suppress in the face of O'Neal, the league's No. 1 center.

He was only an All-Star eight times in his career, and was selected to the second and third teams several times, even if these achievements are not very good in the NBA, at least they show his strength. If it weren't for the injury, his achievements would have been even higher, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame is a compliment for him.

Yao Ming provided a bridge for basketball exchanges between China and the United States. At that time, the influence of the NBA league had not yet spread all over the world, and in order to open up the Chinese market, perhaps signing a Chinese player was the best way. NBA games became popular in China, and all kinds of NBA products were shipped to China and made a lot of money.

The existence of Yao Ming has made Chinese and American basketball more frequent. In addition to recognizing players who have made great achievements in their careers, the NBA's Hall of Fame also recognizes players who have made outstanding contributions to basketball. Yao Ming deserves to be a Hall of Fame member for his outstanding contributions to basketball.

Regarding Yao Ming's induction into the Hall of Fame, many people think that Yao Ming is not worthy, which is actually understandable. Every player aspires to be a part of the Hall of Fame, after all, Yao Ming's NBA career was not successful, and this is someone else's perspective on basketball achievements。If you look at it from the perspective of basketball development, Yao Ming is eligible to be selected.

Although Yao Ming's influence is great, he is not a superstar in the NBA, and some people think that he is not worthy.

It's because everyone's thoughts are different, and people can't be perfect, so some people will be jealous, and Yao Ming will say this.

Because some people think that Yao Ming and the rest of the players who have entered the Hall of Fame are indeed worse than him, so that's why some people think he is unworthy.
