Hakeem
Shaq
Kareem
Russell
Ewing
Admiral
Mikan
Moses Malone
Walton, or Willis Reed if Walton doesn't cut it for you
I personally would take Zo in his prime over Yao.
Dwight has already accomplished more than Yao in his career.
Shoulda thought about my statement more clearly. I'll shut up.
(Although I don't agree with Zo).

It's not only the fact that he's Asian why he is going into the Hall of Fame. For a short spell was the BEST center in the NBA. He was/is an international superstar.
Yes, race should play a factor. He was the first big-name Asian in the NBA and undoubtedly influenced countless numbers of Asians to pick up a basketball. If that's not Hall of Fame worthy, then I don't know what is.
If Sylvester Stallone is going into the Boxing Hall of Fame, Yao should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
If yao makes it into the bhof then ginobili should enter right behind him or rather before him, as a foreigner his basketball accomplishments are MUCH more impressive than yaos period. And seriously? there is no way to measure how many asians decided to ball after they saw yao get dunked on by everyone his rookie year
It's not even really about accomplishments on the court, though
No, there is no way to say for sure, but I'm inclined to believe Yao had more of an affect on Chinese youth when he made it big in the NBA , than Manu did on Argentinian youth.
Yao Ming was the first player from Asia that mattered in the NBA. While Manu represents a country; Yao basically represents a whole continent. Yao Ming: the best/most important Asian player in NBA history . That, my friends, is hall of fame worthy.
Its a basketball hall of fame how is it not about accomplishments on the court? If not it would just be the "how many people did you get to start playing basketball hall of fame

Basketball hall of fame isn't just about your stats throughout your career. There are journalists, owners, and announcers in the basketball hall of fame. When i said he was the first baller, I meant he was the first asian player to be one of the best players in the league. Yao had an extreme global impact on the game, and when he was healthy, he was the 2nd best center in the league for about 4 seasons.

You guys are serious?
His international impact? He didn't win @%++. He shouldn't even be on the ballot or be considered.
