Make no mistake. Prime Yao was one of the greatest centers in NBA history. Shaq and Dwight recognizing Yao as on their level is telling. If it hadn’t been for injuries the Yao-T Mac Rockets imo would have won at least one ring.
Yao was a 7'5" that could make midranges, had the Hakeem-like footwork and his biggest asset was that he could not be fouled, as he was an excellent FT shooter for a center, about 85%.
Yao never got to rest in the summer because the Chinese Basketball association, in blatant disregard for Yao's longevity, made him play those insignificant international tournaments. It exacerbated Yao's injuries problems.
Yao couldn't really severe his relationship with Chinese authorities because his parents grow up in that system. Yao was trained by that system.
Yao could have had a few more healthy seasons if Chinese Basketball Association had been more considerate.
Shaq was immeasurable with his strength at his height. He muscled his way to the rim and it was dominate. Ming was the opposite of that. He had technique and he had that touch where he had a dozen methods of scoring where he could pull out the one he needs and be consistent…
Dwight David Howard IIYou are old and your physical strength is not good enough, so you should give up quickly and learn financial management and social skills
I sometimes forget that Nate Robinson and Yao Ming in same era of nba lol everything becomes such a blur, I remembered his block on Yao it was dope but Yao Ming man was unstoppable

honestly.. skinny Yao could be lethal now days
and he's a pretty good free throw shooter so you can't foul him much
Yao earned his respect in the nba thru his work ethics and humility. So big yet so skilled but never skips practice.

Glad we got to c Yao change the game n his own way
That damn Rockets Yao jersey so legendary man
Only if injuries never came to him
Still one of the best in the game

Crazy part is he took the free throws for the team so you can’t foul him either.
The most underrated part that makes him so hard to guard. His FREE THROW %!!!
Shaq you can hack, you hack Yao for no reason your coach is pulling you for doing something so dumb 😂
Injuries rob him from being a top 10 center of all time
Yao in the old 2K was a beast, pick and roll was unstoppable
First couple of years, Yao looked clumsy. He had terrible hands. He learned quickly and became one of the best.
90 percent free throw shooter

Greatest Center of all time
“i see yao shoot that hakeem olajuwon bing bing fade away”-shaq
The dude was built like a TREE
😅😂🤣👍🔥
Lol yao used to kill dwight!
Him and Mac is one hell of a what if. What if both could stay healthy?
Yao is sort of the prototype of wemby, but yao played alot in the post. Wemby would benefit from playing more in the post.
Would have been dope to see Yao have an extended career
Yao was killing Dwight during the late 2000s. Great recognises great.

Bric baby exposes lil meech for doing drugs then tries to question vlad for exposing big meech for doing drugs minutes later 😂
Wouldn't Dirk be harder to guard then him ???
He forgot to mention that Yao was one of the best free throw shooters at his era.
Yao was better than Shaq and would have toy with Chamberlain.
If Yao career started in 2015. He would be one of the greatest if no injuries happened. Too big to guard and he could shoot the 3.
Yao’s touch was insane for someone that large
Imagine Yao in this small ball era..
Respect to Yao Ming . Dwight howard says about him . 3 time dpoy . Have to respect that
Both Dwight and Yao are underrated. Real ones remember both.
Even for Shaq to respect Yao Ming that says a lot
I’m happy I saw all these guys careers
