Watch: McGrady congratulates Yao during jersey retirement dinner

Talk about a star-studded dinner party.

Tracy McGrady had some nice things to say about his former Houston Rockets teammate, Yao Ming, ahead of the big man's jersey retirement Friday.

Sitting across from the man of the hour, McGrady recorded a video showing some of the other dinner guests, including commissioner Adam Silver and former Rockets Steve Francis, Dikembe Mutombo, and Shane Battier.

"Congratulations, big fella," T-Mac said, adding that Yao's honor is well deserved.
