Yao Ming’s good brother retired due to misdiagnosis of heart disease and insisted on speaking out for China when encountering problems!

He was forced to retire due to a heart disease, but a year later he found out that it was a misdiagnosis. He is Yao Ming’s good brother in the Rockets and firmly speaks for China during the Mogou incident. He is Cartino Mobley, and old fans affectionately call him "Old Cat"!

Let me first talk about the origin of his nickname. When Mobley was a child, he liked the classic enlightenment picture book - "The Cat in the Hat" very much and often learned to meow. When he was in elementary school, the football coach saw that his speed was as agile as a cat, so he called "Cat" the exclusive nickname. When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, famous reporter Yang Yi accompanied him to the Rockets locker room. He saw a pair of elbow guards with "Cat" and asked who this was. Mobley suddenly appeared behind Yang Yi, and he was shocked by meowing. Yang Yi felt that the word "cat" alone cannot be called in Chinese. In order to show Mobley's identity as the eldest brother, he added the word "old" when reporting.

"Old Cat" is another big brother who really helped Yao Ming stand out in addition to Francis. Yao Ming's fourth game of his career was suppressed by Supersonics center Jerome James and did not score a single point, while James made five singles on him. After the game, James shouted, "I taught Yao Ming a lesson." Mobri angrily retorted: "If you really have the ability, go and teach O'Neal and Duncan a lesson. Yao Ming has just come to the NBA!"

Yao Ming played against the Magic for the first time. During the competition, he was caught by the "Rain Man" Kemp. "Old Cat" quickly persuaded the impulsive Yao Ming and opened the jersey to show the referee what happened. In the locker room, "Old Cat" is still the one who sang the most exciting "Yao Ming's Song". Unfortunately, "Old Cat" only worked with Yao Ming for two years and was sent away in McGrady's deal.

In November 2008, the "old cat" was traded to the Knicks again. During the physical examination, he was diagnosed with hypertrophy. "Old Cat" was very confused because he did not have any symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. However, Knicks' doctor said that he was a patient without clinical symptoms and kept warning him that if he continued to get a life-threatening treatment.

According to the fact that unknown injuries are found, you can return the goods. For example, when the Lakers inspected goods last season, it was found that Hornets player Mark Williams had multiple injuries, and the transaction was cancelled. But at that time, the Knicks insisted on completing the transaction and then cut off the "Old Cat". At that time, the "Old Cat" had two years left in the contract. He suspected that the Knicks' approach was to get the insurance company to pay him a salary, so that the team could avoid the salary cap, save 19 million in luxury taxes, and clear out the salary space for recruiting LeBron James in 2010.

After such a fuss, other teams did not dare to risk their lives to sign "Old Cats". He had to retire hastily and ended his 11-year career. A year later, "Old Cat" claimed that it was a misdiagnosis of the Knicks and that he was just a little hypertensive, and sued the Knicks for this purpose, but the judge finally dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds that the evidence could not overturn the Knicks' assessment. The authenticity of the diagnosis is now unverified, but the "Old Cat" is still truly active on the court. He began to participate in the amateur Drew League in 2011 and has been competing in the BIG3 three-man basketball league since 2017. When he was 47 years old, he was still able to "military training" for young center Christian Wood. Now at the age of 50, he has participated in the "Yao Fund" charity competition at the invitation of Yao Ming for two consecutive years. It is his friendship with Yao Ming that makes him understand China better.

In 2019, Mo Gou, who was then the Rockets manager, made inappropriate remarks about Hong Kong. NBA president Xiao Hua tried to confuse this mistake with "freedom of speech", but Mobley debated on the show, saying that Mo Gou was publicly discussing other people's "backyard" in the media, which was very sensitive. Moreover, Mo Gou had never lived in China and did not understand the situation. Secondly, the number of viewers in China's NBA in the 17-18 season exceeded 600 million, "others reach out to feed you, but you still bite other people's hands." "Old Cat" is truly a fan of justice.

Although the "Yao-Mao combination" is more classic in the Rockets, judging from the sincere smile of Yao Ming when he got along with "Old Cat", the friendship between "Yao Mao" may be more special.
