    then tell us why he underachieved, doesn't work hard enough? doesn't have a good coach? doesn't have a good pg? ..... I think your thread is meaningless without solid proof, and don't take anything he achieved for granted.

    - No player at his size has ever been able to contribute anything of significance at the nba level, yet he remains a top 10 player. No one works harder than him, and no one is mad at themselves more when they screw up. What more could you possibly want out of him? He has surpassed pretty much all expectations

    don't worry about it, just put illgaskus' stats, the flying dutchman's career stats, and yao's. i'm positive there are a lot of similarities.

    and i do like the guy. trust me. he's probably my second favorite rocket

    Again, you re wrong. Z has never averaged more than 17 ppg and Yao has only had less than that once and had 4 seasons over 20 ppg, something Z has NEVER come close to doing. And Z has NEVER averaged 10 rpg.

    Not even a close comparison buddy.

    and again....you

    FAIL

    Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

    compare Rik Smits, a career 14.8/6.1 guy who never saw double teams against Yao, who got double teamed the most in NBA?

    you are right in that he is nearly identical to Big Z, and again WRONG that he is anywhere close to Yao.

    Do you know who Yao Ming is? He is the center for the Rockets if you didn't know, he is pretty good, you should check him out.

    Why am I wasting my time with a moron like you.

    Lemme use your logic before I leave this thread


    Big man Joel Pryzbilla has never had playoff success, so Yao won't either.

    different type of players, role player vs. the primary player on a playoff team loaded with talent.

    This is the truth. What I meant with my post is that he could have achieved even more if not for the injuries.

    I found it quite amusing.

    When Yao scored 25 ppts on 51.6% shooting, somebody said the offense is too predictable.

    When Yao scores 20 points on 54.4% shooting, somebody says Yao is not scoring enough.

    When Yao grabbed 10.8 rebounds in 37 minutes, somebody said Yao shouldn't play that much to avoid injury in regular season.

    When Yao grabbed 9.6 rebounds in 32 minutes, somebody says Yao doesn't grab rebounds enough.

    When Yao gets double teamed the most in NBA, somebody says Yao's not dominant.

    When Yao kills any team who single covers Yao, somebody says he should just score that much in every game no matter who he's defended.

    When Yao's career average reached 19.1/9.2, sombody still thinks he's similar to Rik Smits, who's career average was 14.6/6.1.

    By your logic, everybody is an underachiever. Jordan is underachieved because he could have won more than 6 rings, Shaq is underachieved because he could have made much more FTs.

    Yao's been carrying this team with our role players so far ,with our other literal big 2 . thus, we are still above water somehow, so to me he is not an underachiever.

    if u think he is, then who isn't under our circumstance? put the dream together with rafer, battier, scola and whoever-wanna-be-on-the-court... :mad:
