He is known as the "Chinese Great Wall" and "Oriental Giant" in the sports world. He has dedicated everything to Chinese basketball, enduring serious injuries yet persisting for many years. Surprisingly, he faced much criticism after serving as the chairman of the Basketball Association, ultimately resigning from his position. It turns out that what Bai Yansong said was correct; now, Yao Ming has already embarked on another path. Yao Ming's name is well-known not only in our country but also abroad. He is the pride of the basketball world and a true "superstar" in the basketball realm. His birth foretold that his life would be anything but ordinary, inheriting his parents' extraordinary height advantage perfectly. His upbringing and training were done with utmost care, ensuring he had sufficient nutrition by living frugally so that he could have enough milk every day. In school, he loved learning but started playing basketball due to his superior height, which was both an advantage and perceived as unusual by others. Initially, his parents encouraged him to practice basketball merely for academic advancement, never intending for him to pursue it as a career. They understood the challenges and hardships involved in this path. Initially, he was not highly regarded, but as his height continued to increase, he successfully joined his hometown's youth team for training. Years later, he became a member of the Shanghai Youth Men's Basketball Team, officially starting his professional career. Initially, his performance was not outstanding, but as the number of games increased, he gradually found his rhythm, eventually leading the Shanghai…

Recently, the Chinese sports world has been buzzing with news of Yao Ming's resignation! After stepping down from his position as chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), it took only six days for this familiar "basketball giant" to make a high-profile appearance in a new role, sparking intense discussion among fans. Yao Ming's every move captures the hearts of countless people, and this time is no exception. His return to the public eye not only surprises but also fuels speculation about what other surprises Yao Ming might bring us next. The Story Behind Yao Ming's Resignation: Seven Years as CBA Chairman As early as October 31, 2024, when he officially announced his decision not to continue serving as chairman of the CBA, many media outlets began speculating about what might have happened behind the scenes. Since taking office as CBA chairman in 2017, Yao Ming has dedicated himself to Chinese basketball. As a former NBA star player, he was acutely aware of the gap between Chinese basketball and the world's top levels. To change this situation, he implemented a series of reforms, such as the "dual national team" system and bringing in foreign coaches to improve training standards. Although these reforms initially achieved remarkable results, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team on the international stage did not meet expectations. In particular, the consecutive failures to qualify for the Olympics placed significant pressure on Yao Ming. The expectations and criticisms from fans, along with media scrutiny, weighed heavily on this former basketball superstar. Perhaps it was after deep…

"White Yansong was right, 'resigned' CBA Chairman Yao Ming has embarked on a new path!" Once upon a time, someone evaluated Yao Ming by saying, "Apart from his height, none of his other conditions are suitable for playing basketball!" At first glance, this remark does seem to have some truth to it. Consider this: a giant who stands at 2.26 meters tall thanks to his natural talent, yet still criticized for lacking the necessary conditions. Shouldn't ordinary people just call it a day then? However, it is precisely this seemingly sarcastic comment that vividly outlines the stubborn determination in Yao's career and the numerous challenges he has faced. When we talk about Chairman Yao - oh, I should say former chairman now, most of our memories probably start with the "Shanghai lad." He was born into a family with a standard basketball pedigree; his genes were destined for greatness. With parents who combined are over four meters tall, what kind of child could you expect but a tall one? Indeed, he stood out from the crowd at a young age. But don't think that just because of his height, everything would be smooth sailing. Honestly, during his training days, coaches often told him, "You're just a wooden stake; if it weren't for your height, I would have advised you to change careers long ago." What does this mean? It means that even though he stood closer to the basket than anyone else, his agility and speed were initially lacking. However, one cannot let others define their fate, can they? Thus,…
