Yao Ming Best stiff in the game.

Speaking purely from the point of and NBA Live video game, Yao Ming is the player you would create with the ‘make your own player’ tool. 7’6 320 Pounds can shoot, blocks everyone within 10 feet of the rim and averages 54ppg and 39rpg and 17bpg.

Unfortunately, you spend all your points on height and shooting. You’re left with this lumbering mess when it gets up and down the court. And if you happen to venture outside the paint opposition players go past you like you’ve fallen down a pot hole in the middle of the floor.

Now back to the real world. Yao was probably the most hyped international ever drafted into the league. He destroyed opposing 5’9 centers in the Chinese basketball league and average 30 and 15 without breaking a sweat.

His NBA career has been a huge success for many businessmen’s pockets but Houston fans may be getting impatient especially since the acquisition of Tracey McGrady for free from Orlando.

Yao is a gifted offensive player who you could base your entire game plan around. He never seems like he really wants to destroy a game. He’s almost polite the way he goes about his game. He regularly get’s isolated away from the basket and has trouble against short strongly built players. Jason Maxiell schooled him a few times last time out against the Pistons. Bad matchup you say? Well watch every team in the league do it and you’ll be wondering. Also Yao only had 12 point that night and shot 30%.
