Speaking of Yao Ming's former teammates, Bob Sula is certainly an impressive name. This very tough white guard is a late bloomer in the NBA. However, because his style of play is too "independent", as a point guard, he rarely passes to Yao Ming, so he is disliked by many Chinese fans. However, Sula's life after retiring from the army is indeed extremely colorful.
Selected by the Cavaliers with the 17th pick in the first round in 1995, Sula played his best performance since entering the NBA in 1999-2000, averaging 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game before being traded to the Warriors.
After several tepid seasons, Sula went to the Eagles in the summer of 2003. Here, he suddenly ushered in the second spring of his career, averaging 14.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, all of which set a career high.
This season, Sula almost became the first player in the history of the Hawks to win three doubles in three consecutive games, but unfortunately he deliberately missed the basket and brushed a rebound, which was canceled by the league.
Sula also worked as a teammate with Yao Ming for a season, but then he was injured and absent for a long time, and finally announced his retirement.
After retiring from the army, Sula became a professional poker player, appearing in various tournaments with generous prize money, and it is said that the results are also quite good (Chen Chuan)
