Don't forget that Nate Robinson actually blocked him once but yes I agree. Lol

I already think he is, along 15-20 greatest centers oat

Shaq himself said if not for injuries Yao would be a Top 5 center all-time. And it's next to impossible to see Shaq give props to other centers. That's the highest imaginable praise coming from one of the stingiest when it comes to compliments.

If not for injuries, Yao would be the greatest.

People have already forgotten how good he was. I saw an idiot compare Zach edey to him. Zach edey looks like a guy who just learned basketball

he is one of the greatest. he is HOF

He was a monster as a Lakers fan I can tell you they win the Playoffs series againts the Lakers in 2009 If he didn't get injured. He was peaking no doubt He was on another level in the first round versus the Blazers

Brah, he was a beast when he was healthy though, and he earned plenty of non-Asian fans my man. Trust me on that!!!!

He'd be the greatest big man of all time over trash shaq if he wasn't injured

@@darkestmuta1239 Come on man....

我们也不知道

There is only one man likes him in human history. So guess how long we can have the next one

Yao ming just pride of himself,Not China and Asia,Because he practice by him self,injured,hard work by him self,not others,The fame just belong himself.

What? Asia is not china?

Exactly

In that way, Yao ming is a pride of the earth. And you too.

He's pride of the Internet😊

He wasn't at the best time. Would have been even more dominant at this era

@@user-sq5hv9tj3i yes, smaller centers, and as skilled, if not more. Would've had an easy time posting and shooting fade aways, less risk of injuries too

@@chadjones3532 would have, could have and did have more than you ever will bum

I came to see if he was slow, I am surprise, he was very agile.

@@chadjones3532 Yao destroys most bigs in the 80s and 90s quit bein an ass

V Linh stfu dumbass

By far. Hes the best center ever

philly g yessir hes my favourite houston rocket player and all time favourite

@Mohammed Beg (434MohBeg) everyone u named wouldnt be able to guard him at all. He would own everyone u named easily

Top 15

Ur handwork is even better shawty

@@Aapje1 however you got no hand game lmao

What is mid range and pump fake?

@@andyng5321 Mid-range shots are any shots outside the key (painted area near the basket), but still inside the perimeter. Pump fake is when the shooter acts like he's about to shoot, but does not release the ball. Basketball players do this to get the defender up in the air. When the defender is in the air and lands, it gives the shooter time and space to shoot uncontested.

thank you@@BootsandUtes

@@andyng5321 Happy to help :)

Yao would have at least 1 ring were it not for injuries. The 2009 Rockets team was one of the best of all time, including the championship squads and the 2018 Rockets that took the Warriors 7 games. That season, Tmac got injured before the play-offs and Yao carried them past Portland in the first round. It was then on to Kobe's Lakers, and he was having his way with them. Then he got injured... and the Rockets led by Ron Artest and Aaron Brooks still managed to take Kobe 7 games. I have no doubt with a healthy Tmac and Yao, the Rockets wouldn't have lost more than 2 games all play-offs.

@@nahor88 I actually wish Yao was a little smaller, like maybe 3-4 inches shorter and 30 lbs. lighter. He would've lasted longer, and he would still have been dominant with his skillset.

@@back2back379 he wouldn't last long even if he was smaller, China worked him to much into retirement.

@@back2back379 30 lbs lighter would’ve made him a literal stick and it wouldn’t have allowed him to play as physical as he was. Look at Manute Bol who was 7’7 but ridiculously underweight for his height and because of that he had more blocks than points because he couldn’t play bully ball on offense. If anything Yao could have gained 30 more pounds and would’ve been more dominant. He wasn’t underweight but he definitely wasn’t fat or ripped.

@@back2back379 For example Shaq was 5 inches shorter than Yao at 7’1. But he was 14 pounds heavier than Yao and was one of the most dominant players to ever play in the NBA in his prime.

He absolutely is.

With today's load management style, Yao could've easily stayed healthy for at least another 3-4 seasons

If I’m building a goat team, when it comes to center, I’ll take whoever in the first 3, but in the 4th, I want angry prime Yao Ming. Lol.

You forgot to put Hakeem among these greats

@Deviunn Yao is listed at about 7'5 or 7'6 but when u ask players like shaq they always felt yao was a bit taller. I willing to bet he is closer to about 7'8.

yaooooooo minggg

Hakeem probably would too and it makes sense cause you can tell Yao studied Hakeem’s footwork and both being 🚀🚀🚀, it’s amazing to see skilled big men who don’t have to rely on power and strength as often

He was 7'6 300+ Pound had 7 inches and 60 pounds on most people covering him and he was very skilled for his size. And he wasn't soft like people expected him to be i miss Yao he was a beast

@@antoninicolas6222 There's also a video who hakeem trained Yao his footwork.

Facts Yao was just different one of my favorite NBA players of all time truly miss him he was a freak of nature

You forgot Dwight

He made Wallace look like Allen Iverson

Man I feel old feels like I watched him play just yesterday

Forreals lol i didnt even realize it wass ben because yao makes him look so small

His smile is the best meme ever

The Iconic meme

Except his enemies

in the words of flight: YAAAAOOOOOOO

damn this big guy is strong but playing much skilled. Modest and friendly off court

FBI open up

Dylan James Chang bang bang bang

LOL 🤣

Little kids: "can you dunk?" so annoying bruv

Couldnt be more true🤣

Yes, it's difficult. That's why Yao broke his foot all the time.

@@TheEchoeman The real miracle is how you don't break your foot walking out on your driveway carrying that much size

Yeah I've seen players as tall or even a bit taller than him here on YT, and every last one of them is so damn slow and uncoordinated that they would be forever relegated to their high school's JV squad if not for their height. The fact that Yao could perform spin moves with legitimate grace is just insane. Not to mention how smooth his jumpsuit was.

All the best

Heck, even 6' 9" players get injured easily when they're not careful. Being a giant comes at a steep price.

dude well said!!!!

Yeah if only not for his injuries but that's just big man problems

Him wilt n hakeem among the best

Not just pretty well. He was shooting better percentages than shooting guards

@MangoTangoFango hell yeah if not Kobe hurt his knee on purpose. Great karma to Kobe.

me too. kinda miss him. No bigs with that size can do what he do.

He is one of the greatest centres of all time. In my opinion he could’ve been the greatest

Maaz Ahmed Lol this is a joke right?

he already is

@@wadeburner that his/her opinion. so what's your problem here? stupid.

EA Orbital how’s that a joke. He is a really good center and if he wasn’t plagued with injured he would’ve been better than shaq. Not only that but he did beat shaq on multiple occasions

His athleticism and touch are so far above anyone else in that super tall category. Like not even close.

I’m apparently destined to be exactly 7’0 (I’m 6’6, age 14) and I’m pretty fast. Hopefully i don’t lose my speed with the extra inches.

Victor Wembanyama

​@@andraaxmaywemb runs faster than Yao.But Yao spins much more faster than Wemb

@@andraaxmay Yao's shoot is much better than Wemban.

Imagine how demoralizing it would be to draw yao and just know your defense stats will be trash that game.

😂

lmfao

There's no small big mans Well not anymore without yao ming

@@Mgblz With guys like Marjanovic and Tacko Fall there's definitely small big men.

BBQ cornish hen

@@remnant24 Their skill is nothing compared to Yao’s though. Other than the rebounding and paint defense skill. But that’s mandatory for anyone who’s like 7’0-7’7 that’s played in the NBA.

whenever people say yao was good only cuz he was 7'6", i immediately know they know nothing about basketball

There's others whose 7'6 who isnt that good like Shawn Bradley.

Tall makes it difficult yes but it makes defense so much easier.

@@nolan4826 not Mandy can handle the size pressure on their body, Yao at that height was amazing, you really think it’s that easy? True that he has height advantage for defense I agree

@@williamfeng6706 the taller you are to the court it is easier though

Get real

That's crazy he's just now only 40. He retired so early!

​@@Alr1ghtyThen Injuries ended his career.

LOL IKR. Yao was one of the only few people that took Hakeem's class and learned well from it, Dwight took Hakeem's class and he plays just like a mini shaq :/

Tacko Fall also 7’6. He is too weak

The best golfer was Asian.

@@jmoney9790 wasn't the best golfer michael jordan?

💀💀💀💀

This comment is literally legendary!!!!

Tacko does not move the same as yao and isnt quick enough to replicate his play style. Tacko has heavy feet. Yao was a threat to shoot too

I hope he can get better

Tacko is too skinny and horrible footwork Yao actually got muscles and has good footwork

@@rickyssj7695 Yao was skinny asf

@@charlieblake4552 do u know how hard it is to gain weight when your 7’6 and that guy was not skinny he was posting shaq in the paint I wanna see Tacko post up shaq if you think Yao was “skinny” he may look slim but he was strong asf 🤦‍♂️

Anthony Davis play like this if you watch them highlights

Jokic is crazy wymm

The nba has plenty of skilled bigs stop it. Jokic is one of the most multi dimensional talented big men we’ve ever seen, u got guys like AD, kat, embiid just to name a few

Jokic may be skilled but yall stop it. You see how these big men play come on Anthony davis maybe comes close to that. These dudes dont hustle defensively like bigs use to partially i believe cuz of the weak nba rules but stop man. Kemp, pat, shaq, Hakeem, young kg, malone, young dwight, ben wallace those dudes will smoke any big in league today. Plus the bigs today be out there running around like a guard. If u put any of the guys i mentioned one on one with some small pf like pj tucker. Pj tucker would ask to get taken out thats how bad he would be destroyed. I see on a game basis small guys like that stopping bigs. Plus these dudes consider a post up game a turn around hook shot. They forget about post fades, up and unders, dream shakes, drop steps. Stop these guys today are nothin to how bigs use to be

@@Skrrr685 AD is very similiar to KG, which in 2000-2010s would be more of a PF position depending on the opponent C

Do u remember when Nate Robinson blocked Yao Ming....nba is a place where anything can happen...so who knows..Andre Miller could have succeeded...but unfortunately the great wall stopped him

@@beko466 Nate Robinson is one of the most athletic players in the history of the NBA. In his prime, he had a 43.5 inch vertical, which is among the top, most impressive, and highest verticals in the history of the game. Andre Miller is a completely different story. He was never considered a particularly explosive or athletic player. Moreover, Nate Robinson is the only player to ever win the NBA dunk contest 3 times, which is a testament to his exceptional leaping ability. Whereas Andre Miller, in his 16 year career, barely has any memorable highlight dunks. I wouldn't expect Andre Miller to dunk over an average forward, much less Yao Ming, who's one of the tallest players in NBA history.

@@beko466 we can't compare Miller with Robinson. Compare him with someone like Khris Middleton

back then if you dunked on Yao you are in a special club. lotta people deliberately tried to dunk on him whenever they had the chance

@@fycfyc1 Yeah, that's true, but Andre Miller believing he'd be able to dunk over Yao is the equivalent of Dwight Howard believing he could win the 3-point contest. It's just not his forte. Miller's leaping abilities are less than stellar, to say the least. I doubt the guy has even dunked more than 15 times in his entire 16 year career. Of course you expect high flyers like Vince Carter, T-Mac, Jason Richardson, Desmond Mason, and Josh Smith to try. I'd even expect smaller guards like Baron Davis, Steve Francis, and Antonio Daniels to try... but a guard like Andre Miller, who lacks the athletic abilities of the aforementioned players, expecting to dunk on Yao is a nice, little fairytale.

Hell no, yao is great but the game today would be too fast for him. Also his legs wont keep up. Hate this casual comments, always overrating the past. Yao is skillfull big but not near how skilled bigman are now todays. NBA is evolving, everything has evolved even Human behavior.

tried to pull a Jr smith

he wasn't thinking...

What the hell in the world Xd

was a nice try

3 times in a roll！ But still shaq get 38+13 something

get real

Too bad he isn't, that's so unfortunate, if it weren't for his injuries both him and Tmac would be, their former teammate Ron Artest should be on that list along with Shane.

Like at the time or in nba history? In nba history he’s not even top 7

只打NBA的话 应该还能多大5 6 年吧

姚明早生了10年。在小球时代就不用增重增加膝盖负荷了。

国家队对他消耗太大了，范甘迪也是玩命的用他。。。如果当年是马刺选了他。。。

Because nobody has ever saw a 7 foot 6 so skilled. Yao Ming is what Tacko Fall is if Tacko Fall is actually good. Lol. Tacko is the same height as Yao, but people always treat him like a meme. Nobody treats Yao as a meme because Yao is an actual star.
