Yao and his wife.
(Ecns.cn)- Retired NBA star Yao Ming, who is now a college student, has reportedly failed an advanced math exam with a score of 38.
Although the star has yet to confirm the news, he did say he felt completely lost in the course and had been prepared for bad results.
The "slam flunk" was not unexpected, said the Chongqing Commercial News on Friday. After all, the former basketball player has been passionately devoted to charity causes, and has also been distracted by his new roles as member of the CPPCC Shanghai Municipal Committee and current boss of the CBA's Shanghai team.
Big Yao has just been too busy to focus on his college studies, the newspaper commented.
