    Yep...I've heard this multiple times. Maybe he really is 296, but I must admit that always was a little hard for me to believe.

    Ming scores once in the post and everybody is like his post game is great! What about the other times where he wasn't able to post so he took a jumper. :confused:

    You forgot to mention, "and make the jumper." This isn't the first time he's done it. Most of the time Yao gets it, there isn't much time to post up, so he has to shoot. Besides, if you can hit the shot, why post up?

    edit: also, lately, Ming's been getting good position, but hasn't gotten the ball. Also, he is usually doubled down low. That's 2 more reasons.

    I can't believe the game is sooo close.

    Look like China is a totally different team. They should have
    dismantled Germany if they played the way they are doing today.

    The Rockets weighed him in China and he was 296. The 255 report was not official at all. Rudy has even mentioned that he is 300 pounds.

    Did Kenny backed Davis in or drove by him?

    Also, Dream said Kenny is a deceptively strong player.

    I'm not saying that his so-so post game will prevent him from being a good player. I still think he will eventually be the best center in the league when shaq leaves. He gots one of the sweetest touch i have ever seen for a big man and will be a great defensive presence as long as he learns not to jump into people.
