As much as you think Yao can dominate like Shaq and Duncan. Chinese players will never ever have the strength of African American players to bully their way into the post like Shaq. It's plain genetics. However, Yao can use his head to help the team rather having to try force himself into the paint. I think Yao can make quick, smart decisions probably better than any single player on this team. Trying assert physical dominance when any average build African American can just push him out of the paint is just ridiculous. If you don't think this is true, I suggest you go to the basketball court in the local park and see if you can post up on any of the guys there. You can be 6 feet tall Asian, but that 5' 5'' African American with the muscular build is going to outmuscle you every single time. How do you think Dat Nguyen of the Dallas Cowboys has any measure of success in a league where guys are running 4.5s and benchpressing 500 lbs? He uses his head when playing. It does't mean he can be a skinny toothpick, but his head is what gives him advantage at times. The same thing goes for Zach Thomas of the Dolphins.

thats a pretty ignorant comment. First you cant even compare duncan and shaqs game together like that, duncan is like the exact oppisite he actually has bball skill, shaq is like a football player playing bball. I doubt its genetics its more him being 7'6 look at all the really tall nba players none of them were really built, besides look at bateer hes no toothpick.
And theres no one else in the nba that is as strong as shaq no matter what race they are

The guy also used to phrase "afro-american." Why don't you just call him a 'negro.' Total ignorance.
