Yao #1

[GonzoStyle]

Good or bad?

Gook players in american sports have never really worked well.

Baseball has finally gotten it right after the "Slope Babe Ruth" Hideki Irabu thing didn't pan out. With players like Ichiro and Sasaki to name a few.

But I think this whole Yao thing will work out as well as the hoopla surrounding Shawn Bradley's enterance into the NBA. Houston was in dire need of a center but does anyone think he'll stand a chance?

I doubt he's the answer to shaq, shaq might possibly be the most unstopable force in the history of basketball as well as its greatest player in the future. But playing over there compared to here. Yeah he's gonna be great in a land filled with small dicked gooks who barely break the 5' 7" mark.

The thing I don't get is people say if he pans out he will be the next Rik Smits

How is that worth the #1 pick?

[HedCold]

if he is even close to as good as smits they should be happy

no one is stopping shaq. maybe hilario can slow him down (just cause hes supposedly 300 pounds, didn't look like though), but shaq is too big

on another note, when they showed a highlight of ming on the tv there i said 'ooo look at the move on that chink' not noticing 2 chinese guys were in front of me. but they just turned around and laughed. hooray for nba

Yao is a big fan of the dark socks with shorts thing.
