there was a big hula when Houston signed Yao (about his height). Height is a important factor in basketball. but I think you need to be able to shoot too. In my opinion, Yao's height hasn't really been a big asset for Houston.
i just saw in the paper today he is coming to an area near where i live next week. His translator will probably have a busy day here tho cuz there are barely any chinese people where i live.
He's tall, but that's it. He's slow and in poor physical condition. He's got no fundamental basketball skills at all, his team might just as well just park him right under the basket for easy points instead of expecting him to do anything else. He'll probably get a heart attack trying to block.
hahha, only has the height. Maybe he'll be like yao ming sometime later. who knows? he might even be better than yao ming and shaq.
Ya He's REALLY SLOW, and LACKS AGILITY... Also, his skills aren't that great either... He just got lucky because his pituitary gland was mutated... (haha, what a coincidence, studying the endocrine system for a biology midterm right now and came across this!) Losing weight? I don't know.... I mean, even if he lost his weight, this guy just doesn't seem athletically inclined. To me, he's just some big, tall guy, with not much skill.
i think he should just stand under the opponent's net and wait for his team mates to pass him the ball. he's so tall, he barely needs to do anything to drop the ball in the basket.
Kind of sad, they have to fast foward the clips to make him seem faster. Like the game says "wouldn't get far"
I saw him in person, too bad that he cannot jump or else he would be in the NBA. The funny thing was I saw George Muresan at his game as well (I think he's 7' 7'')
Dude.................. I just had my biology midterm lol, I think I read the mutation factor in Genetics, but I can also be wrong because my brain feels dead after the midterm.
Er... if you're slow how will you stop anyone? In the modern NBA he's not very useful, if he were around in the old NBA where there was no defensive 3 second violation or 3 in the key he'd be rather effective.
I'd feel so uncomfortable with myself if I even reached 7 ft~ I mean it must be akward to see ur toes so far away hahahha
