Yao Ming threw down 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in his first game since December 23rd, but Lebron Jams and the Cavs got the game with a 91-85 win over the Houston Rockets.  Yao, who said he felt ‘normal’, missed his first 5 shots and airballing his first shot form 5 feet!  Needless to say, he’s been better.

Rumor has it Dikembe Mutombo is not only among the living, but still playing in the NBA.  Not only that, but against the Denver Nuggets, his old team, he became the oldest player in NBA history to have over 20 rebounds in a game (total of 22 with 8 offensive).  Don’t know what’s more amazing….Dikembe’s feat at his age or how bad the Nuggets inside play is lately.

Now’s the time to get your Rockets gear.  NBAshop.com has Rockets apparel, including T-Mac jerseys, on sale!
