IS YAO good enough to take Shaq in the west?

HE will be next year. He has to bulk up.

You answer your own question? haha I really like Yao, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that he plays on my favorite team. Shaq definitely has a size and strength advantage.. even though Yao is taller. Yao definitely has a sweeter shot and can make freethrows. :)

Shaq will continue to stir fry Yao in his wok.

Yao is definately good enough to take Yao. He does have to gain a little meat though.

Is Yao a skitzo?

i think yao will be able to take shaq in a year as well but i agree he has to bulk up and improve his long range shot to take shaq out of the paint to guard him.

yoa has to put some meat on and get a little stronger to be better than shaq

everyones saying it, he has to bulk up...Yao has to go back to China in the off season...eat some fried rice and some wok dumpling...haha but he has to put some weight and strength on to play with the big boys

not this year

Since when have you seen a heavy Chineise (sp on this is baddddd) person? He really needs to stay in America to fatten up and build some real muscle mass if he really wants to succeed in this league. But since China got the poor kid by the short and curly's, that won't happen.

even though yao doesnt look big hes almost 300 pounds. he does need to put on some muscle but people underestimate his strength and size because he is a finesse player
