    One's tall one's short and one has slightly more hair.

    On the court Yao was arguably the best center at one stage of his career. Lin sure as hell is not close to arguably being the best PG or SG.

    tinman, you're better than this. We all know Yao but this is like Magic tweeting he is happy so and so left the Lakers ;(

    Yao never praised God in all his interviews, so I voted Yao.

    To be the best center in the league, one only has to be the best among, who knows, maybe 10,000 guys in the world in that cohort over 6'9" or so. The fact that Yao a lot taller than some minimum height requirement of centers rather positively biases his chances.

    To be the top PG, one has to be the best out of let's say 400 million age-appropriate guys in the world shorter than, let's say 6'4".

    1-in-10,000 ain't bad, but it's pretty weak compared to 1-in-400 million.

    Obviously Lin.

    Let me to ahead google Jeremy Lin charity pictures.

    But mcgrady is better than Yao and Lin combine

    Mcgrady, plus Luther head > Yao and Lin.

    Luther head baby!

    Having watched "Year of the Yao" documentary, Yao's rookie season alone>> Lin's seasons in the league.

    I voted Yao, one of my All Time favourite players, but if Lin hits the Game Winner to get us our first Championship since 95...

    I don't think he could bring himself to vote for Tmac, so instead he just doesn't do it.
