This is the yao I'm talking about. I know it will come. Remeber the behind the back dribble all the way to the basket against Portland last...
As for this starting this thread, good timing being that on the night Yao took 20 shots and missed 13 of them. :rolleyes: That's EXACTLY...
I'd say so for any American player. But...just take a look at Yi vs Durant, both rookie of the month. Durant really enjoys unlimited ball...
Yao never get his chance to take volume shots and develop the offensive skillset. Let's face it, yao is the third option in Francis/Mobley period...
Another reason is US no longer have quality big mans. DH and Bosh are shorter than the old time peers. NBA intentionally change the rules to...
Yao gets hammered most of the time without getting a call. NBA rule is in favor of American athletes who can initiate and have muscle to live with...
Actually the stock is almost doubled today in a single day.
You are right. Some of them are actually more fluid post moves. The drive after pump fake is the one he had some success before. He can either...
Actually yao always have his drive move--spin to the base line and bypass the defender, which is his signature move. I want yao to add more...
Yao drive to the basket! We don't have to try anything other than that. They simply won't work. If NBA history tells us anything, you have 1000...

Except Yao&TMAC I don't care how Hayes&Battier can do all those 'intangibles', how Rafer can bring the ball safely, and how Francis still have...
Same reason why US are not world champ In NBA, greatest players win champs by attacking the rim in clutch time. Why? Because they can either...
Excellent point!
Again if you take out their layup/dunk/easy points, and only consider their jump shooting, none of those can AVERAGE above 45% on jump shooting....
>Take the layup/dunks out of their current shooting percentage, they can average at most 4x% jump shooting.
That's a legit concern. But just like I mentioned, if yao completely stays in the paint, he will not get foul calls when the smaller players crash...
As a rockets fan for so many years, I realized that rockests can go as far as yao can carry them. But the problem is that yao is not consistent on...
