Yao Ming elected to Hall of Fame

[Remote]

How does the coli feel about this?

I'm not so sure.
While Ming was a good player, there's something uncomfortable about putting a guy with 486 career games in the Hall of Fame.

It's the basketball hall of fame, not the NBA hall of fame

 

[SchoolboyC]

The impact Yao had on growing the game globally, particularly in Asia, puts him over the top.

Yeah but Corey Brewer has done more in basketball. Is he in the basketball hall of fame?

Since when is being the first Chinese star supposed to mean anything?

You think Corey Brewer has done more in basketball than Yao Ming?

His impact alone is worth it, also he was a pretty good player. Wish he could have stayed healthy

First Yao. Then Linsanity.

Who got next, breh?

Yao was actually a good player, he is not some random player like Cory Brewer or Linsanity. He was an allstar multiple times

 

[Reggie]

Yao deserves it. He was headed that way anyway and was the best big man in the game when he was forced to retire. Add up his accomplishments in China and he gets in easily.
