    He's finally getting the recognition he deserves. His presence has made the Rockets a top defensive team ever since he came here.

    If you have watched the past nine games of Rockets Vs Magic, you can't rank D Howard higher than Yao in your right state of mind.

    Very happy to hear Yao's D earn respect. Now we have 5 players with a reputation of good defender. Best wishes to Deke, Artest, Chuck, Battier and Yao fighting strong in playoffs. :)

    Yeah, but if you watch every game that ISN'T Rockets V. Magic, DH is higher than Yao, imo.

    You might have forgotten that period of time when Mac was on the court.

    I'm more shocked that no one has pointed out why LeBron is All-NBA 1st team defense and Artest is 2nd.
