-YOU calling someone else ignorant about hoops? That's a riot. Yao is not and will probably never be in the same tier as Olajuwon. Deal with it.
I am a huge Yao Ming fan...and Yao is the type of player who could give Hakeem trouble in the paint...because Hakeem was best against people quick enough to bite on his fakes...Yao like Klein at Arkansas...Eaton in the NBA would give Hakeem trouble because even when Hakeem faked them out of thier shorts they still were big enough to contest his shot. The problem for Yao in a one on one matchup with Hakeem is every time he dribbled the ball Hakeems hands were so quick he would be likely to steal it. Yao could probably score a little from the outside and might even could go over Hakeem a couple of times to keep the score respectable. Hakeem 11-5
Are people still arguing that Yao can beat the Dream?! Damn....... no way, no how. Just look at the results of the Poll. Most BBS'ers know their stuff.
My goodness, people need to frick'n relax in here. Don't you love it how people take things you say out of conext? Who's frickn arguing if Yao will be at the same tier when it comes to team basketball people? Tell me who???? Please!?? Aren't we arguing about a classic 1 on 1 game here folks? Why are you guys keep on linking a team game with a 1 on 1 game? I just don't get it. I'm tired of saying **** over and over again. Damn this is so fustrating. I'm not going to read or respond on this thread anymore because its a waste of time...so don't take my non response to some of your idiot posts as me giving in to your stupid arguments.
