How do you think Yao Ming would have fared in today's game?

thats what people said about lin..

and look where that got him.

 

Yao was the most lethal offensive weapon in the league if he was healthy..I'll give him that.

But it is a big IF.

 

He's not in the same class as Lebron and Durant. He isn't even as good as Harden.

 

WTF? There's a game today? Is it televised??

 

Hibbert is not at all comparable to Yao skill-wise. Yao would easily score if guarded one on one by Bosh, and he's a better passer too if double teamed.

 

Yao Ming would EASILY THE BEST ASIAN AMERICAN BASKETBALL PLAYER IN THE NBA.

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside.
You gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide.
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide.
I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American.
fight for what's right, fight for your life!

 

I was talking about back in Yao's heydays of playing basketball when he stood within three feet of the basket and put the ball into the hole, not as of today. That said, I guess you can still make a case that LBJ or Kobe back then were more lethal than him. But then, in the case of Kobe, you are comparing a player who primarily scored by taking jump shots to one who made his living under the basket with high percentage shots.

 

Yao doesn't have the versatilty of Kobe or Lebron because he depends so much on others getting him the ball in the post. You can't just isolate and go 1-4 flat like you can with a Kobe/Harden/Lebron, or anyone who can create off the dribble.

With that said, his dominance physically wears down teams/adjusts their whole defensive gameplans. Against Portland Yao's efficacy began to slow, but he was such a load defensively cause of the fronting/doubling/rotating etc that it opened it up for others.

I don't really know what more people could've wanted out of Yao. He's 7'6, 300 pounds. there is a reason past giants his size have not been effective, but he had an amazing touch/feel.

It's a freaking miracle he was able to run up and down a hardward floor with elite level atheletes all his life at that size.

 

oh yea, yao can never average 27ppg on ass whopping 37% fg and no defense, i mean even tmac cant do that, its godly

 

there was no 'stickiness' with yao. he was an offensive system, low post/ highpost he could do it all. And defensively with yao top 4, without yao bottom of the league. yao was the most under appreciated franchise player by the western media.

 

if yao played this whole time we would have had like 5 chips by now

 

And you are comparing the two because......



*ALERT* LOH DETECTED *ALERT*

 

Yao proved he was a mighty all-star in the league. His only problem was fronting defenses that could be overcome with good entry passing schemes. Well, that plus he was not a good lateral defender, pick and roll was not good for him.

 

yao would get straight dominated in today's game. he's lucky he's not playing anymore.

 

Not sure if you are serious.

Considering so many idiots swarm the forum lately, chance is that you are actually serious. LOL.

 

brook lopez can average 20/6/1/1, and Yao cant play in todays game.....

Yeesh. Clutch fans sure have short term memory.

 

Wow. The guy is gone. Is this going to be your shtick until we get another Asian player? turn everything into a Lin thread? Stop spending so much time in your troll account and go back to posting more as your regular internet persona. The **** is old. Your troll shtick is old. shut the **** up with your borderline racist bull**** and try to be a real ****ing rockets fan more often.

 

Yup, I've seen them denying him the ball by fronting but he reestablishes himself on the other block, but the pass never comes.

 

The only thing lin and Yao have in common is that their name has three letters.

That is this the only thing period
