before yao got injured, he was just the same...taking turnaround jumpers most of the time but he was shooting much better though

Re: YAO MING.........
He definitely seems a step slower, and while he'll never be a great jumper, it seems like he's having trouble getting off the floor at all. In addition, I think he's taking a lot of those fadeaways because Utah's hammering him every single play inside and he's not getting any calls. If he tries to do anything physical, chances are he hits someone too high (his height often works against him) and gets nailed with an offensive foul.
Plus he broke his leg earlier this year. BROKE...HIS...LEG...Lou Holtz on College Gameday about Ohio State:

Re: YAO MING.........
He is soft, he has a tremendous weapon that all star centers don't have, a good free throw. If he's a lot more aggressive, he'll score 30+ every game and most of it will be free throws.Comment

Re: YAO MING.........
Remember those times where Yao would make amazing passes to teammates cutting to the basket as well as other stuff? Yeah. Doesn't help that the rest of the Rockets (excluding T-Mac) come and go.
Yao was definitely MVP-worthy before the injury but he's definitely not acting like himself in this series.Comment

Re: YAO MING.........
Bill Laimbeer was only a outside shooting center. The guy posted maybe once a game. And he was a tough and rugged player. And probably the best outside shooting center of his or any era.
Yao Ming is soft, but he is still a very good player. but he would be killed playing against the bigs of the 80's and 90's
In todays game he is one of the best, if not the best center in the league. And I dont necessarily think thats a good thingComment

Re: YAO MING.........
If Yao is soft because he shots jumpshots then can we label Patrick Ewing soft? I don't remember Ewing backing down his guys like Shaq. Mind you, he's had his moments BUT majority of Ewing shots were jumpshots.I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands, even if he's wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil. - Malcolm XComment

Re: YAO MING.........
That will not last too long. By the time they hit thier prime at somewhere 29 or 30, they will slow down. They can't keep the speed for too long, even Garnett has lost a lot of step but his power game is improve compared on his first 5 years where he can play 3 positions from SF to C. Now he is limited to PF or C position because he does not possess the speed or quickness of a SF anymore. But he used to. I also noticed a small drop of speed on Amare but that could have something to do with his surgeries in the past, but his post game is a lot better now. 6 foot 6 guys and below tend to retain thier speed even after 30 but 6 foot 8 and above tend to loss them. Dwight is still very young so he has not lost anything yet.Comment

Re: YAO MING.........
You try to not be slow and clumsy when you are 7'6".
The guy isn't like Shaq, he isn't a bulky guy. He's skinny and his style is more of a turnaround jump shot/hook shot kind of guy. It's effective and I think it's nice to have a big man who does something besides use his fat *** to dunk all day like Shaq does.#SimnationComment

Re: YAO MING.........
Im sry but i have to agree yao ming is soft. Yeah Patrick, Hakeem, and kareem do take jumpshots but they also dominate the paint. yao doesnt dominate the paint. He is afraid of the paint. Carlos boozer was killing yao at the paint at both ends. FOr godsake carlos was just posting on yao and just killing the man. Yao is overrated and soft as ice-cream. I feel bad for mcgrady wont be suprise if he retired early.Comment
