On October 31, the Executive Committee of the 10th Chinese Basketball Association Member Congress held a meeting in Beijing and announced that Yao Ming had officially resigned as chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association and elected Guo Zhenming as the new chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association. Yao Ming said that this decision was made after careful consideration and based on considerations and personal plans for the development of Chinese basketball. He thanked the State Sports General Administration and the Chinese Basketball Association Executive Committee for their trust, and also thanked the basketball family for their care. Yao Ming emphasized that basketball has always been his passion, no matter in the past, present or future, and he hopes everyone will continue to support Chinese basketball.

In February 2017, Yao Ming was elected chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association for the first time at the 9th National Congress of the Chinese Basketball Association. He was re-elected at the 10th National Congress on December 17, 2022. According to the original schedule, his term should end in 2027.

During Yao Ming’s tenure as chairman of the Basketball Association, the Chinese men’s basketball team completed the first naturalization in history and successfully introduced Li Kai, but it failed to prevent the continued decline of the Chinese men’s basketball team’s performance. However, during this period, the Chinese women’s basketball team and the Chinese three-person basketball team achieved outstanding results. The specific results are as follows:

China Men’s Basketball Competition Record: – 2017 Asian Cup: Missed the quarterfinals – 2019 World Cup: 2 wins and 3 losses – 2021 Olympic Qualifying Round: Lost all two games, missed the Tokyo Olympics – 2022 Asian Cup: Stopped in the quarterfinals – 2023 2020 Asian Games: Bronze Medal – 2023 World Cup: 1 win, 4 losses, missed the Paris Olympics

Chinese women’s basketball competition record: – 2017 Asian Cup: third place – 2018 World Cup: sixth place – 2018 Asian Games: gold medal – 2019 Asian Cup: second place – 2021 Tokyo Olympics: fifth place – 2022 World Cup: second place – 2023 Asian Cup: Champion – 2023 Asian Games: Champion – 2024 Paris Olympics: Missed the quarterfinals

Yao Ming mentioned in an interview that his experience as chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association was valuable and he gained a lot. Unfortunately, the results and performance of the national team did not meet expectations. He chose to leave at this time, mainly based on considerations for the future of Chinese basketball. According to the charter, Yao Ming has about two years left in his second term. He hopes to leave a complete Olympic cycle for the new team so that they can better carry out their work.
