Sunday: A native Texan and a Houston Rocket for life.Drafted No. 1 overall in
2002, Yao played an integral role in helping the NBA become a global enterprise
in China. Now, following a nine-year career that was cut short by foot injuries,
Yao will have his No. 11 jersey retired Feb. 2, when the Rockets host the
Atlanta Hawks.Jersey retired? Yao said at a news conference officially
announcing the event. It just happened too soon. Its something I couldnt have
dreamed of. I appreciate everything Houston did for me, the opportunity to come
over here and play.This has been a special year for the center, given that he
was inducted into the Hall of Fame last month.?Yao will join fellow Rockets Hall
of Famers Calvin Murphy, Moses Malone, Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon as
players to have their jerseys hung from the rafters. Beloved former coach and
player Rudy Tomjanovich also has his number in lights.I said it before, but so
many nights when I walked through that court or played on that court, I looked
up to those jerseys and thought, Those jerseys are the spirit of the team of
Houston, Yao said. Those jerseys are honored, and those jerseys are motivation
... I would be honored to continue.The Rockets opened the preseason with a
131-94 victory over the Shanghai Sharks, a team Yao owns. It was the first NBA
preseason game involving a team from China. Thus, Yao will serve as more than an
ambassador for the game when the Rockets visit China next week as part of a
two-game exhibition.Every player in the NBA owes a bit of gratitude for Yao
Ming, Brown said.Added Yao: I hope my career here is something that meets the
expectation of basketball fans.

have traded the No 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft to the Los Angeles Rams.
Just three months after confirming the franchises return to Los Angeles after 21
years away, the Rams made another dramatic move after climbing further than any
other team in history to acquire the overall top pick, having originally been
slated with the No 15 pick.The trade came at a price, with the Rams giving up
their No 15 pick, two second-round picks (43 and 45), a third-rounder (76), plus
a first and third-round pick next year. In addition to the top pick, the Rams
will receive the Titans fourth (113) and sixth-round (177) picks this year. The
Rams are in serious need of rebuilding after two disappointing seasons, while
Titans general manager Jon Robinson said the move would enable his team to
continue adding depth with six picks from the first 76 in this years draft. The
Rams are returning to Los Angeles after 21 years away Being able to acquire six
players in the top 76 this year, along with next year when you factor that into
it - I am assuming five in the top three rounds - that is 11 players that we can
add to this football team that should not only increase our depth, but give us
good quality players at all those positions, he told the Titans
website.dddddddddddd In the end we thought it was a decision that was best for
this football team. It made sense for us to do it, and thats why we moved on
it. We talked to several teams about the pick. There was interest in the pick,
and in the end we thought this was the option that made the most sense for us...
we think we can really bolster this roster with the picks that we now have.Los
Angeles are expected to use the top pick to target a quarterback, although the
exact player wont be known until April 28. It will be the sixth time the Rams
have selected the No 1 overall in franchise history. Also See: NFL Video Rookies
