Chinese Basketball Yao Ming Into FIBA ​​Hall of Fame

Chinese Basketball Giant Yao Ming Inducted Into FIBA ​​Hall of Fame


Yao Ming, who played an active role as a mainstay of Chinese basketball during his active career, will be inducted into the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Hall of Fame. 카지노사이트

FIBA announced on its homepage on the 20th (local time) that "Yao Ming, a world-class superstar who entered the NBA as the first overall pick in 2002, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame." https://www.casinositewiki.com

"Yao Ming, who boasted a legendary career, made a dramatic impact not only in China but also around the world."

Yao Ming was called the "Walking Great Wall" as a tall center with a height of 229 cm.

After joining the Houston Rockets in 2002, he made a name for himself as a representative Asian player active in the NBA, including being selected as an All-Star eight times.

Until 2011, while playing only in Houston, he scored 19 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in the regular NBA league.

In recognition of this kind of performance, he was also named in the 'Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame' in 2016.

His footprint on the Asian stage is even bigger.

In the FIBA ​​Asian Championships (now the Asian Cup), he won the MVP award three times (2001, 2003, 2005), putting China in the top position in Asia.

Even at the time of the 2002 Asian Games held in Busan, he boasted of formidable heights and recorded 23 points and 22 rebounds against the Korean national team in the final, but missed the gold medal after an extended game.

After his retirement, Yao Ming, who had a desire to reform the basketball world in his country, was elected president of the China Basketball Association in 2017, and then walked the path of an administrator.

However, when the allegation of 'deliberately losing', which occurred in the Chinese Professional Basketball Association (CBA) in April of this year, was confirmed as fact, he expressed his feelings of "grief", and then suddenly resigned in May.

Yao Ming's FIBA ​​Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held in Manila, Philippines on the 23rd.

The Basketball Halls of Fame include the FIBA ​​Hall of Fame, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.

Korean basketball players named in the FIBA ​​Hall of Fame include Park Shin-ja (2021) in the player category and the late Yoon Deok-ju (2007) in the merit category.
