    Yao Ming got blocked by Nate Robinson and Patrick Ewing got blocked by Mugsy Bogues. Who cares.

    While "Superman" still has room to grow, Yao must now start "acting like a former #1 pick".

    And of course now with Tracy and Artest, beating the top teams in the West should be easy as pie. :rolleyes:

    "Main thing is there is a larger gap from Howard's offense to Yao's offense than there is vice-versa. Yao is a player who must be doubled in order to be stopped, unlike Dwight. Yao has all the moves, while Dwight has no post moves whatsoever."

    wow..... that's just one of the worst arguments I've ever seen. Dwight Howard doesn't have to be double teamed? Dwight has no post moves? clearly a middle school kid who wrote this article. It has that basic essay concept they teach in elementary school.

    This should have ended all discussion on the topic a long time ago.


    Also, Yao is clearly the better offensive player, and, despite what some of you might think, they are about the same on defense. Sure, Dwight gets some steals, but that's about it. They average about the same amount of blocked shots, and most of Howard's come from the weak side. The only thing that Howard is better than Yao at is rebounding, and a lot of that is because the rest of the Magic are midgets who can't jump.

    He's right. yao shouldnt get pushed around or shoved around by boozer or okur anymore. he's a number 1 pick. we expect him to lead us with tracy and now artest to the promise land.

    Yao demands double team tells everything.

    I've said this once and I'll say it again. The only way to compare two centers is to look at how they perform when facing each other head-to-head. Dwight Howard plays in the ridiculously small Eastern Conference...of course he is going to dominate on most nights. But what happened when he had to face Yao one-one-one last season?

    YAO: 22.5 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 1.5 APG and 1.5 BPG

    DWIGHT: 18.5 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 0.5 APG and 2.0 BPG

    MacFu (aka MacFool) = adoo.

    How shameless it is to use two different accounts to pat each other's back.

    Well guys, you should know that the Chinese Guard is called Sun yue, and he will play for lakers next season.

    That guys has enough experience on blocking, such as Kobe, Harword and Atony have all been blocked by Sun Yue. HAHA

    Sorry, that wasn't a block. It was an obvious hack and foul on Nate Robinson.

    Nah, it's an obvious block AND THEN an obvious foul. Nate blocked the ball and then smacked on Yao's face.

    I assume kevC is a magic fan so he meant that he expected DH to catch up with Yao in block.

    We must see that Yao's speed is not so good,but he also has other advantages.In our China,someone said that Stoudemire is better than Yao,we can see that Stoudemire is a PF,and Nash is one of the best PG,so I still believe that Yao is the best Center.
