"Don't want to be eliminated? Then give me a little more ruthless!" It's too appropriate to put this on him. When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, he was teased that he was "half a beat slow in English and couldn't keep up", but some people dare to bully rookies? Mobri directly started to argue: "I have the kind of hit O'Neal, don't find a sense of existence here!"

This guy was born in Philadelphia and has been with talented monsters since he was a child. He played the ball well, but he was not good at studying. He didn't even play NCAA in his freshman year. After four years at the University of Rhode Island, he participated in the draft as an older rookie in 1998, and was picked up by the Rockets with 41 pick in the second round - he had no talent and no media hype, all relying on his brain and skills!

The shooting guard has a point guard's heart! Can hold the ball, shoot, and play psychological warfare with your eyes. The rookie season was 9.9 points, 15.8 points in the second year, and 21.7 points in the fourth year! The Rockets and Francis formed the "cool double evil spirits in the backcourt" - Boss Fur is responsible for the explosion and breakthrough, he is responsible for the control of the field as stable as the old dog + the fatal three-pointer, and the two play "one quick and one stable". When Yao Ming first came, they were like two big brothers, teaching Yao step by step when to pick-and-roll and when to run back.

But the NBA has always only recognized "business"! After Yao Ming became the core in 2004, in order to replace McGrady, the Rockets directly packaged Mobri and Francis for the Magic. He has been involved in Magic, Kings, and Clippers, and has always been the "old cat" with accurate three-pointers and high ball quotient, but he never returned to the peak stage. In 2008, he should have continued to fight with 13.7 points per game, but he came to an abrupt end with a physical examination report - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which may have died suddenly! He was forced to retire, but a year later he was told that he was "misdiagnosed"... When he wanted to put on his jersey again, everything had changed.

From the 41st pick in the second round to the 21+7 core, from taking the new players step by step to being traded and replaced, and finally leaving the court with regret due to misdiagnosis - This is Mobley's basketball life. He has lived a fierce life, fought hard, and regretted, but never admitted his conscience!
