Always the bridesmaids: these NBA legends never won a ring

[post_page_title]Yao Ming[/post_page_title]
Yao Ming’s NBA career was short-lived. He spent only eight seasons in Houston, the last playing only five games, and was forced to retire with injuries. Yao averaged 19.0 PPG, 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks during his years with the Rockets, leading Houston to five playoff appearances. But they were never able to get past the Western Conference semis. He was an 8-time All Star, his no. 11 jersey was retired by the Rockets, he won three gold medals at the FIBA Asia Championship and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016.
