How good would Yao Ming be if he played today?

I see sloths like Jokic dominate in this bigger faster stronger era and think....imagine if teams were conceding switching a 6’8 sf on to Yao like they do bigs today

 

[Gangstar8]

He would be the goat

 

[K-Deini]

Miss yao. Damn injuries ruined him

 

[Damnshow]

Yao had injuries which didn't let us see his full potential. He would still be injury prone today, unless he had a good coach, unlike that van gundy dumbass who ran yao to the ground.

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

He be better than he was

Cause the style of play of the game today

He'd be a beast on offense but he'll be guarding the opposing team's primary ballhandler off PnR switches every trip down the floor on defense. Guess it just depends how he defends in space against 3 point spam

Lol but name another sloth besides Jokic who is doing it at that level? Joker is an exception more so than he is a rule

How many players period are doing it at that level? But I mean Cousins a few years back before the injuries....Luka if you wanna include guards.
Not saying it’s the norm, just that those players are proof positive that sloths can eat today if they have the right skillsets

I get what you're saying now I didn't take it skillset wise. I was tryna think of someone slower than Joker and couldn't

One thing that always bothered me about Yao, he had 6’11 wingspan

 

[Controversy]

24-14-4-2

They'd be calling Yao a stretch 5 bc he'd be able to shoot threes

He'd get targeted in PnR's something vicious in the offs tho

 

[Hey_zeus]

He'd get PnR'd off the floor in the crunch. A Houston lineup with Yao/Harden and 3 and D guys would be interesting to see.

No it wouldn't

Boban gets starter minutes but yao would be relegated to the bench


Just admit this new league is watered down instead of juelzing every which way

Yao would get ran off the court. Those SSOL Suns used to have Shaq and Yao on the bench earllly. The whole league plays like that now. I’d just be Pick & Roll to death...
