this. if he plays 24 minutes a game, he should just go hard all the way and not worry about fouling out. he still will draw a double team at the very least, which will open up shots and space for others.

I know What If's are stupid, but I honestly believe they would have beat the Lakers in '09 if Yao hadn't gone down. Best shooting center I have ever seen.

I really wonder if those injuries could have been avoided, or not been as severe, if China didn't work him so hard in the off-season. Communism FTL.

who knows. all that work and no rest on the big body definitely doesnt help, plus dude might even be older than his birth records.

He's done being one of the best Centers in the League, that designation goes to Dwight, Bogut, and Lopez currently.
Done being a legit starting Center? Definitely not.
He's going to be limited probably the rest of his career, it is what it is, but he's still ultra-talented.
Not saying you are wrong but if this is the general consensus around the league then, aww man how i miss the 80's n 90's NBA

I might be biased but i really think w/o Yao they matched up better against lakers that year. They were an extremely fast paced team when Yao was gone and that kills Lakers.

Yeah I hear you but at the end of the day you need something to combat two 7 footers playing at the same time
*sidenote* lakers will keep winning the championship until their opponet in the finals can play two 7 footers simultaneoulsy...one really good and the other decent alongside at least 2 other good players, one stellar player and a good bench (lol, this obviously does not look likely anytime soon therefore I don't see the lakers losing the ring anytime soon)
