    It's great how Yao is playing so far this season, but aside from passing, field goal %, and overall feel for the game, I'M HAPPY THAT HE'S NOT TRYING TO SHOOT THREE'S. People complain about how Shaq is a bully, but if he did not play the power game with his frame, we would be calling him a punk that doesn't play his position. Yao is doing the same thing, he knows he is a 7 footer and playing like one.

    Another Question?

    What Rockets Power Foward do you think compliments Yao the Best:

    I think he's played the best when he plays with MoT. MoT is a player who doesn't mind passing the ball to the person with the highest chance to make a basket.

    When Yao was in Jordan's Nike camp one summer, (98?) he once shot 16 straight 3's in a row without a miss and Jordan jokingly went over to his side and asking Yao for his autograph.

    Doesn't the CBA use the international line? That's closer than the NBA line.

    That's just what we need. Let's have our best inside player jacking up three's.

    Hey, I just realized something. If Yao shoots 40% from three, that's the same as shooting 60% from two point range. Wow, that would be great.

    Wait, someone tell me, what is Yao shooting from two point range?

    You forgot to mention the increased possibility of being sent to line inside.
