What could have been -- I wish Yao had a longer career...

They don't.
But clutch city is real and the story is best ever story of all time.

 

Kinda like Yao Ming's feet I guess.

 

Please look at box scores of games, when Yao & Dwight went head-to-head.
In this meetengs Yao dominated Dwight.
Dwight had worse supporting cast. And that explains his better numbers

 

Dwight was better against most near every other team, which is why he was first team.

Would Yao's teams have beaten Dwight's in a playoff series? sure, if you believe in matchup advantages, Yao doesn't.

 

I'm happy we got Dwight. He is a better defender than Yao .
