Tozai, just wait. Yao has a very explosive jump. One of the things that I like about his game (Chinese National team film) is the fact that he doesn't bring the ball below his waist on lobs or rebounds. He keeps it up above his head; similar to how Tim Duncan does. And I never said that he just as explosive as KG. Not many are. But he does have Tim Duncan type jumping ability. And Tim can jump pretty quick (not necessarily high, though). And my comments about his quick jumping ability was aimed at trying to discredit this "short arm" issue being detrimental to his total game. It is not. It was like you disagreed with ONE of my points (misunderstood it in the first place), then you go an reinforce my main points. Points that I never disagreed with in the first place. I mean, read your comment above? Did you ever hear me say that Yao would have a problem rebounding? Did you ever hear me say that Yao would have a problem blocking shots? Dude, read! I was one of the ones that that saying just the opposite of what you accused me of saying.
Yao's entire upper body isn't proportional to the lower portion of his body. Does this matter? No. His wingspan and reach are still very long. As he puts on weight as he gets older I bet he'll have a body similar to that of Arvydas Sabonis.
NO,NO,NO. Chest cannot block because it is hard to change the direction. If he can jump that high. After he comes back to the ground, the half is over and side is changed. Ming, no jump,
