    dwiight is getting better every yr.... just like yao..... but yao is still dominant. i still remember he did the back crossover jsut like Michael jordan did in his year. I meant...lol.... who in the world that is 7'6 can do that...lol yao ming is one of a kind... very talented

    i think Yao has potential but he needs a lot more physical ness that not much chinese people have.

    not really he's like 27 and he already plays like he's forty. His ceiling was always heavily impaired by his lack of athleticism .

    if he is at his best, then he is. If not, i would think O'neal is better.

    Yao - fantasy or reality?

    In terms of fantasy... Yao is #1..
    In terms of reality.. Amare is my pick..

    Yao is skilled and is very good for a big man shooting the ball. But he needs to get more physical with other players. I mean lwhen Shaq was in is prime, he would bully his way in. He was all power. I know Yao would never be that beast that Shaq was but I am tire of watching people taking the ball from him. I mean come on, smack the little 6'2 guard hard in the head 2-3 times. Then the next time he tries he would think about the consequence.

    ya yao ming is good but he runs really slows and he cant do much fancy dunks. however, his shots are good i guess you can consider yao ming one of the best in the league for now

    The way I look at it, Yao is the best. That is, until someone else taller and bigger than him is introduced.

    Yao isn't the best... he's not a game changing player like the true dominant centers in the game... just look at the Rockets when Yao is out there, but TMac is out... he puts up the same amount of points, boards, blocks, whatever... but he doesn't win the game... he can't carry the team... Shaq is old, we know that and his stats are dropping... but when his game picks up, u can't stop him... and he wins the game for you... just like today's Heat/Rockets game... Yao fouled his ass out b4 Shaq...

    atm i'd pick Kaman and Camby over Yao... Houston can probably still be a half decent team with a chance at the 8th spot with TMac... u can't say the same with Yao... on the other hand... without Kaman, the Clippers go back to last place for sure...

    isnt that good? to have consistent points and and boards? why would u want an inconsistent player?

    changes the game alright.

    consistency is great... but if u put up 20/10 every night while ur leading scorer who puts up 25-35pts a night for you is out... who's gonna pick that up? Yao's supposed to be that guy... if he's the "best center in the league" he'll step up and put up 10 more pts and 5 more rebs...

    Kaman's a monster this year cuz he has to pick up the slack from injuring Brand... Yao isn't doing that for TMac when he's gone...
