Why are people Yao Ming fans? Because hes the first guy in a long time that can actually challenge Shaq. Next year will be really fun to watch Shaq vs Ming

Few NBA players? Most NBA players haven't got into trouble. And Yao's been around less than half a season. There's still time.

Don't think I have anything against Yao Ming, but I don't like the fact that he's so hyped without doing anything yet. No way he's a better player than Shaq, but he's the starter in the All Star game. Same reason I didn't like Kobe when he first arrived. He'd come off the bench, do a few highlight dunks and little else, and then get voted into the all star game over established vets. Yao will be very good. But can we please wait until he's done something before we crown him?

the previous statement was qualified by the amount of hoopla. very few nba players get that amount of attention, so the statement stands

What's your excuse for the 3 blocks? You seem to have one for everything else. Lets hear it.

Shaq is a mouthy punk who needs to show respect to get any. He's a jagoff. Yao is a nice guy and doesn't get caught up in all that junk that a THIRTY YEAR OLD is putting out, and he's only 22. Got more excuses for that punk?

I can feel a lot of hostility in your post. :p

Yao is pumped up. I expected a few blocks and other nice plays early. The fact that Yao can't even play along with normal starters is pitiful. I think he's a great player, but the fact that a lot of you think that he's going to "own" Shaq is not only hilarious, it's ridiculous.

If he's graduated from a Chinese school, he'll own shaq and the entire team at math and science.

In 9th grade my friend had to solve some type of physics problem about a bag filling with expanding water falling down a chute or some such. I looked at and my brain nearly exploded and I was like.. 'huh?' and he's like 'Haha.. this is one of the easier problems'.

Shaq is a "normal starter" huh?

Keep in mind that Yao Ming is a rookie. Give him a year or 2 to develop.

What the hell are you talking about "he can't play along with normal starters."?

Maybe like LikeLinus, but I honestly thought Yao would get in foul trouble. I also thought Shaq would be going for 30 and 15 at least.

That would be Shaq's shots blocked - 4

Yao's shots blocked - 0
