No, Yao is much better than him on the court thats all that matters to me not his height. How many times have we seen guy 6'7 just make an absolute fool of Shawn Bradley and Gheorge Muresan
Okay that wasn't a very good example. BUT how often have you seen Yao totally blow up in a quarter and score 12-14 straight points. Or how often have you seen Yao change shots in the lane. That's a much better example.
I think Podkozine was at the Chinese vs. Athletes in Action game Sunday. I'm not sure but there was a guy there that looked an aweful lot like the guy in the picture with Yao. He was on the bench with Donnie Nelson in street clothes and was much taller than everyone else on the bench. If it was him he is certainly not as big as Yao Ming although he could be as tall. I beleive the tallest player on the Bench for Nelson was a guy named Justin Brown and this guy was certainly taller than him.
Hey, Muresan had his moments. anyone have that highlight when he took off from the free throw line. Maybe one of the best moves of all time.
