SI's "Slowest Going Baseline To Baseline" - Yao comes in 3rd

Everyone, including his teammates, probably forgot that Curry is even in the league anymore.

 

Wow I'm surprised players say Shaq is slower than Yao..

It's an effort thing though...Shaq slacks alot during the regular season, Yao goes 100% until he's crippled every season.

 

I would really like to see a race between Yao, Shaq, and Z.

 

It's a poll, not a scientific measurement. No one had a stop watch before the vote, so please stop making assumptions as if this is factual.

 

Shaq at 400lbs is still faster and quicker than yao and big z

 

Yao aint the slowest

shaq is pretty quick running the court isn't he.
i mean. faster than Yao.

 

looks pretty slow to me.

 

now that is just low

 

Not as low as not telling your employer and or team mates you are going to have a surgery that puts you out for a year but instead announce it to the World Wide Web first.

 

YOU'RE RIGHT TOO SLOW.

He beat 2 Trail Blazers down the court. I guess Yao is 3rd per that poll. But the 2 slowest dudes are the dudes who play in Portland that Yao outran???

Shaq aint fast because this isn't 1999. He's a fat ass and 10 years too old. Charles Barkley used to be fast too in 1994 and had mad hops... I guess using that logic he's still faster than Yao despite the fact that he can barely beat a 70 year old man in sprints and is too fat too dunk now.

LOGIC

 

You're right. He's the third slowest.

 

My money would be on Yao.

 

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the poll might not be very reflective since Yao hasn't played this season. So most players may have responded just thinking off the top of their heads, and most recently they've played against Shaq and Big Z, probably forgot about Yao.

 

You know this because...

 

Or as low as assuming you know exactly how it happened and harping on it months later.

 

Indeed, RA should implement the old JVG offense ASAP and have Chuck repeatedly post up on every possession. If we can throw the ball to a really short center, we should be able to throw it in to a really tall one (the theory is sound). The rest of the players should then park themselves on the 3 point line so they can shoot 3s to their leisure (Chuck's inability to draw double teams evens out Yao's inability to pass out of one, so it evens out)

They should also sign Pig Miller to a 10 day contract and pace their games around his speed up the court in preparation for Yao.
