    I voted bulk up to 330 lbs, but he needs to work on his strength and explosiveness

    Too much weight would hurt his mobility. I hope he gets stronger but not much heavier like KG does.

    So I vote option C. Prevent Brain Grant/Kemp scars.

    330 might be a bit of a stretch.. I'd settle for 320..

    I just wish he were more aggressive really.

    How heavy is Amare Stoudmire? No where near the monster Shaq is yet his explosive and aggressive play is being compared to Shaq's. Putting pounds on Yao won't make him heavier AND aggressive (Unless they feed him steroids) only just fat. What he needs is sprint training for that explosive power and endurance training perhaps a better diet? His aggressiveness will come when he is more familiar with the NBA it's more of a cultural shyness.

    This is getting silly, hehe

    Maybe he should wear one of those Allen Iverson sleeves so he would demand and shoot the ball more :D

    -G'day-

    None of these will make him a better player!!! You should of included Yao Ming getting instruction from Moses Malone and another.... Yao Ming getting his upper body much stronger.

    He should shave his head, wear a head band, and pull his socks up to his knees. That would be cool. :D

    The reason YM does not appear aggressive is because his lateral movement is slow. He is slow to react to balls, that's why you see his lack of aggressive. Even if he wants to be aggressive, his body can not move that fast!!!

    That's why he should work on his lateral movement in the off-season!! and add the sky hook in his offensive arsenal.

    Why did so many people vote on the tatoo? For intimidation reasons?

    I think he should ditch the Clark Kent and be Superman all the time.

    I don't about getting him to 330 lbs. He's already not the fastest guy in the world. I don't think he needs that much more weight. He makes Bradley look anorexic.
