    Yao would have dominated Dwight easily. And did.

    If that's all it took he wouldn't have had the numbers he had.

    He just needs to have some sons so the Rockets can draft them.

    "Yao was an overpaid boat anchor who couldn't put the ball on the floor and dribble nor could he move up the floor in transistion. "

    The fronting is way overstated here. If it was that easy, how the heck did he average 20/10?

    1. Fronting takes a lot of effort and is not "easy".
    2. Even when fronted he was an effective player.

    What sucks is that he started breaking down right when he was becoming arguably the most dominant player in the league. He had a run of 30+ point games back in 2008 or something that was the epitome of dominance. Then he fractured his foot.

    Yao was so good, he still has his restaurant and bar up and running.

    On further note:

    The restaurant seats approximately 500, with 298 seats in the main dining room and 200 in the bar. Also, 4 Private Rooms (capacities range from 4 to 24 seats) that are available to accommodate any occasion.

    ;)

    He only rarely matched up 1 on 1 vs. Dwight in those head to head competitions. We double teamed him on almost every play. The magic tried to defend Yao with Dwight only. I would revise your statement to say the *strategy owned Dwight more than Yao did. But Yao was awesome during that time and a pleasure to watch - I just think some of these comparisons are not very fair.

    Yao was unstoppable in the paint. A true warrior. Great player indeed.

    And I wish Houston Rockets fans weren't as stupid as you.

    You love the big guy. I get it.

    But let's not ignore the fact fronting defenses were successful against Yao Ming lead teams.

    Please, add more solid contributions to the board in addition to attempting to mock someone for having a differing viewpoint to your own.
