    maybe he should go back to china and playing WCBA for a while to pick up some self confidence.

    Yao need to stick out those elbows to teach some of those guys a lesson.

    But then again the refs would probably call a foul on him once the player goes flying into the stands.

    I think it's time for Yao to resume his tennis ball drills. The ball squirts out of his hands too easily.

    He has always had bad hands........he tries to do too much with one hand when he should be using 2.

    1, he just couldn't jump. That is part of being 7'6, accept it.

    2, he got small hands.

    You would think Yao was playing hot potato with the beasketball, he just doesn't have great hands and thats a fact.

    Yao's problem has always been lack of practice during the off season. His commitment to team china has hindered him from summer training. Hence his lack of improvement in all facet of the game. Maybe next season if he is still a rocket he can get some proper training.

    Tofu is soft. Enough said.

    Is he the most stripped player in the NBA? If not, you'd be hard pressed to name another.

    Is he the most blocked player in the NBA? If not, I'm sure he ranks near the top.

    Is the the player who touches but does not secure a rebound the most? If not, you'd be hard pressed to name another.

    Again, Tofu is soft.

    I think this is true. Also, most of the international guys don't take weight lifting serious. It wouldn't be as bad to be slow and can't jump if he was strong as a ox. Shaq is quick or explosive like he used to be, but once he gets the ball, its his ball. When he gathers before he goes up, there is a lot of reaching and hacking. Most times, guys don't even bother trying to knock the ball loose. I've said it a million times, yao is big, but not strong. I doubt he can bench or squat his weight.

    I bet the op has never played real sport in his/her life.

    Also when you are tired it is hard to focus on things like that. I have played 3 on 3 full court drills and let me tell ya it is tough when you don't have the stamina.

    More muscle means added weight. I don't think Yao's frame would deal with it well.
