I'd have to agree with you on Yao. He was def a good player, however it's like the saying goes the bigger they are the harder they fall. Unfortunately Yao has been plagued with the injury bug as of late. I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire in the next couple of years.Originally Posted by LDJ

He was suppose to be this international mecca, that brought the nba to the world, almost a second comming if you will. He has been in the league for several years and i dont think all his games combine equal to 2-3 seasons. This is the same guy that for years lead the nba in allstar voting and didnt even step a foot on the court. You know its bad when more ppl think yao in a hospital, hasnt played a game this season, produces/had a better season then the entire western conference with the exception of Kobe. I mean yes i respect his game (the times he consistantly played) and he showed flashes of greatness on occasion. But considering the fact he cripple a franchise, and made it for the next few years virtually impossible for houston to grow through draft and trades. Had a bigger impact bust then a kwame,olowakandi etc..
Am i saying he is the biggest bust talent-wise NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!. But as far as hype and what was expected from him yes. In the last few years not alltime

He has career averages of 19 and 9 with 2 blocks and shoots 83% from the stripe.
He also played ball every summer in China immediately after his season would end.
Considering the outcomes of every other nba player above 7'3, Yao has more than lived up to his expectation.
