Yao is the only center in the NBA averaging over 20 points per game

Do any of you guys even watch the Spurs? Duncan is obviously injured and has been all year. He has a bad case of plantar faciitis all season, and according to some sources, it's only getting worse. The dude looks like he's playing in a foot of mud right now and sometimes can barely get up and down the court.

For that reason, I don't really take much stock in Yao playing (arguably) better than him right now. Talk about setting low standards.

 

Please let's stop this stupid comparison game and just let Yao be Yao, ok?

As things stand today, Yao is playing as the best Center in the NBA, plain and simple.

He struggled with his shooting the first few games back, but now he's rounding back into dominance...with the help of course of the great passing of Rafer, it just shows how BIG an impact a true passing PG on this team can do, it makes Yao and everyone else better.

 

Tough crap.

Winning Championships can take a toll on you...shorter and shorter summers...less time to recover.

Yao is Yao...Tim Duncan is Tim Duncan.

It's not Yao vs. Tim Duncan...or vs. Shaq...or vs. Whoever. It's the Rockets vs. THE NBA.

Rockets aren't doing great...Spurs are probably a little past their peak...if Yao doesn't play for the Spurs...Tim Duncan doesn't play for the Rockets.

In a few years when the Spurs suck again...you will be talking crap about how much better some phenom center is than Tim Duncan.

Never ending...
