Can Ming shoot from around FT line on second break?

Yao's also realized that by shooting a jumper, there's no chance of a foul and your letting the other team rest whether you make it or not.

 

Yao's only 3 point attempt in the NBA came at a pre-season game. That's why it's not showing up in the stats.

 

Isn't he an 1/8 inch shorter than Shawn Bradley?

 

Based on this picture, I would say Bradley has about 1/2-1 inch on Yao.

 

Nice picture! I think Yao is just a little bit bigger. Cool.

A pretty neat thing that I saw in a game involving the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings was Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball behind Shaquille O'Neal. He followed him down the court. And Shaq blocked Doug Christie, and Kobe just took an easy jumper. That's a pretty good play. It probably wasn't a set play but we should try that. The Great Wall of Yao Ming and Steve Francis taking wide open shots.

 

Wow Yao actually look kinda chubby next to Bradley.
Nice find Codell

 

You mean using Shaq as a screen. Francis did that a couple of times with Yao, especially in the two games where he came off the Yao screen to hit the three to force overtime.

 

Yep. He's also done other types of screens as well. Sometimes, he will be in position to screen both his man and another man, leaving the lane open for a layup. I want to say that has happened at least once. He's usually pretty smart and will see things like this pretty quickly.
