In terms of data, compared to the original career total of 9,247 points and 4,494 total rebounds.
This time, Yao Ming scored over 10,000 points in total, with a total of 13,254 points and rebounds exceeding 5,000, reaching 5,167!
Su Wan, upon hearing the news, immediately texted Yao Ming and also congratulated him on Twitter.
The Lakers also issued a statement wishing Yao Ming well.
When asked if the Lakers would retire Yao Ming's jersey, General Manager Kupchek said, "We are inclined to complete this matter!"
After all, from 2007 to 2010, the Lakers reached the finals 4 times, with Yao Ming being the absolute core 3 times, helping the team to win the championship in 2008.
Therefore, even though his time with the Lakers was a bit short, only 5 years in service.
But considering his entire career only lasted 10 years, he dedicated half of it to the Lakers.
No matter the contribution or achievements, even for an established team like the Lakers, they cannot ignore it.
