More details on legacy

Now that some time has passed since Yao's retirement, it would be good to enhance this article with perspectives on Yao's legacy, especially to maintain the article's status as a feature article. Areas that need enhancement include:

Historical rank among NBA centers
Impact on interest in NBA/Houston Rockets in China
Impact of interest in NBA/Houston Rockets among Asian-Americans

This was discussed before at Template_talk:Infobox_basketball_biography#Historical_profiles_have_moved. Unfortunately, NBA.com made all the old links obsolete without redirecting them. Most NBA bios have basketball-reference.com links in the interim.—Bagumba (talk) 06:23, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More expansion is needed on his work with lowering demand of shark fins, and being a spokesperson for WildAid.[7].—Bagumba (talk) 20:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

-Even though the above source doesn't seem reliable, mention should be made that a particular expression of his, captured in a picture, has been used extensively throughout the internet, usually accompanied by the caption "bitch please".
-The link below gives a good explanation of how this meme came about.  Maybe it could be included in the main page?
-http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yao-ming-face-bitch-please
-* I can't understand why this section has been removed from the main article. The meme/ comic face has become very popular over the time and indeed this section has to be included in the main article. Can we have the following Youtube video together with few comics as a reliable resource?
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-26VMhVLuHc
-However, the large number of comic sites and Facebook pages having Yao's ''bitch please'' face for their comics itself is good enough to justify this section.
