2008 has not been a lucky year for Yao Ming. After fracturing his left foot again, he was forced to stop playing, despite the Rocket's 22 straight wins in Season Games. The Rockets were knocked out of the first round again in Playoffs. The 2008 Olympics was looking doubtful as well but thankfully for China, Yao Ming has recovered to lead them once more.

It will be the 3rd time in the Olympic spotlight for Yao Ming, all that awaits is to see what sort of performance he brings.
