    ‘I’m not Shaq . . . I’m a rookie’

    The Houston Rockets' 7-foot-6 rookie center Yao Ming talks with Lisa Ling of National Geographic's Ultimate Explorer.

    We need an enforcer to help Yao NOW! He sounds broken.

    Sign and trade for Elton Brand, Karl Malone or P.J. Brown.

    Trade for the draft rights of Sofoklis Schortsanitis or James Lang.

    Shaq wasn't Hakeem his first year either.

    Yao is right, he's not Shaq.. he's a rookie.. he's Yao.

    Let the man do his thing.

    Yao>Shaq

    Shaq had Horace Grant to help his development.

    I agree 100% -- we need a banger to protect Yao and lighten the load down low.

    How can anyone not like Yao?

    He is a little too hard on himself, but he's going to get better...much better.

    We all love Yao. I'm just saying he needs help down low.

    Hakeem had Thorpe

    Ewing had Oakley

    Robinson had Duncan (and vice versa)

    Shaq had Horace Grant

    Kareem had Rambis etc.

    Two thoughts...

    One, all that money and no leather interior?

    Two, that lady was so hitting on Yao its not even funny. My wife said that almost 3 minutes into that clip.

    Look, none of this changes the fact that Lisa Ling is hot.
