Quick question- where does Yao ming rank amongst the GOAT centers?

[T-K-G]

Another Embid situation


When the brehsian was healthy he cooked alot of people, doing that in a 7'6 body at NBA pace aint nothin to scoff at

 

[ndthentherewasx]

Top 20 maybe, but due to a lack of quality centers


What's does he rank all time as a player? Not at all.


What's his rank as a bust? Top 20, he was a bust right?


Injuries aside he never did get anything done.

His footwork and shooting touch for his size was unreal. Had an amazing offense iq as well. Speed of the game was his issue as a young player, not inability. Imo.

 

[KingJay]

Talent was top 20 probably, injuries result in me having him in the 20-49 tier

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

career averages of 20 10 and 2
crazy to think a 7'6 guy could move like yao and play 30 something minutes a night

I don't think he was that good of a player.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

He's at least as good as dudes like Jack Sikma right? So probably in the teens. His peak was arguable with dudes like Parish and Mourning, dude was no joke

I put Yao below Sikma
wasn't as consistent as Sikma and his teams never won shyt

he was on the same level as Brad Daugherty to me

 

[who_better_than_me]

Top 15-20 based off his career. Yao was unreal. His skill set was unmatched by any center at the tome not named Duncan. He never had a consistent squad built around him. Just a bunch of role players and the roster kept getting older every year too. That Rudy gay for Battier trade still bothers me. They figured it out too late how to build a team around Yao. He could have had a much more successful career. Rudy gay, Yao and TMac could’ve been a nice start.

 

[The G.O.D II]

lol @ the majority voting him into the top 20.

this board is so wack now.

Aren’t you the same guy who thinks D Rose is still a top 5 PG? Your opinion is invalid

Yep

Big with a j and soft touch

He had range too

 

[TaxCollector13459]

I will say, China robbed us of alot of HOF worthy matchup that should have involved him. Ironic Tmac is his best teammate, injuries hindered them both

 

[beenz]

His career would have been longer if the Chinese national team didn't run him into the ground forcing him to play international every offseason.

 

[feelosofer]

If Yao didn't run himself into the ground he might have been top 10 even top 5. Despite that he is def top 15 maybe closer to 10.

I said top 10 when healthy long enough to catch a rhythm. and he proved it last year in NY.

I never said top 5. but hey, I remember you as that dikkhead from TSC, so I guess the misquotes come with the territiory.
