From Jonesonthenba, I've always respected this dude, here's what he had to say about Yao: Yao Ming Yao is revolutionizing the game in so many facets, it’s hard to keep track. When he first came into the league, people were quick to call him a bust. How quickly people’s opinions can change, as Yao is now considered the best Center in the game. Yao has Rick Smits ability to face up and hit an outside shot, Bill Walton’s ability to pass, and Shaq’s ability to pound you inside. With his conditioning steadily improving, there’s no doubt that he will eventually become like Tim Duncan and Shaq in that any team you put him on will instantly become an NBA championship contender. Being from China, the most populated country in the world, Yao has the potential to become the most famous basketball player ever. My prediction: By the time he retires, Yao will have a couple of championship rings and a couple of MVP trophies in hand.
No offense, but who the hell is Jonesonthenba? Something he said that hasn't been said before in this BBS that makes him special?
