Sorry if this was already posted. I did not see it. Michael (LA): Mad Dog, Do you think the Rockets are utilizing Yao Ming enough? He is putting up good numbers, but it seems like they should run their offense through him every time down the floor. Fred Carter: Great question. We did something on the show about two weeks ago.. there were four guys taking more shots per game than Ming. I couldn't understand that. Those guys were shooting in the low 40s and Ming was shooting in the 50s. The game is still played inside out. Mike (Los Angeles): Will Yao Ming ever reigns as the best center in the NBA? I think in 2 years he'll be better than Shaq. Fred Carter: Actually if you look at his overall skills, he is better than Shaq. His feel for the game, passing, shooting, etc. It's all right there for him. I have said before they have to build a new Mt. Rushmore of centers and put Ming's face on it. He is very similar to Bill Walton. Ming does everything well. Go Yao!!
I think if Yao Ming can get a halfway decent game (something like 12 pts, 7 rebs) and, more importantly, the Rockets win the game, I could not care less if Shaq scores 45 points and gets 22 rebounds in that game.
