Yao is twice that. His knees, joints, and bones have a LOT of weight to support... BUT Yao is running from hoop to hoop at least 50 times a game, 82 games a season (plus playoffs) in a period of six short months. Often he plays three or four times a week, many times back-to-back. Plus every summer he was recalled for Chinese National Team duty. Notice how his injuries are mostly in his legs, feet, knees.... the basic support pillars of that massive body jogging up and down the court. | ||

Damn he must eat.. GS v Minnesota - training run or serious NBA game? What a joke. Also the Raps need to drink some concrete. 120+ points @ SA on near 60% shooting and they still lost. Wtf. | ||

There is so much good and so much bad that you'd need a book to cover it all. Agreed. A while ago Bill Simmons linked this about him, and if you don't know much about AI (ie. only know about what people have said about him through the media) then it'll change your perception of him: | ||

AI is only a good player for his time, but all-time, there's a lot of guards you would choose ahead of him. @HonestTea: My point about Rondo is that if I were building a team, I'd take Chris Paul, D. Williams, Tony Parker and Rondo ahead of a young AI, and these guys are in the league now. All of the players named average below 3 turnovers a game, whereas Iverson has averaged 3.6 TO's over his career. All of the players named shoot a much higher career percentage than Iverson's career average. Iverson's not a PG but he's sized like a PG and if I'm going to have a player that small on the court, I sure as hell don't want him taking 20+ shots per game at 42% with his 3.6 TO's etc. He should be passing the ball. That year he had with Denver is good statistically, but they didn't win anything. AI's overrated. you are out of your mind. The others you could argue about even though they have yet to prove themselves over a long period of time. Do you know how bad those sixer teams were? Iverson was just a liability on defense because of his size. He had to play passing lanes because of it. Philly was horrible. Id argue that McKie was their 2nd best player for a few years......how sad is that. They were clippers bad those years save Iverson. He was at his best when surrounded by good defensive players though so he could play the passing lanes. He needed a 2nd fiddle though who could score on his own occasionally and play good defense. Someone like an Artest would have worked perfect for Iverson. | ||

AI was best as a SG, not a PG. During his top years he had Eric Snow at PG, and McKie as the 6th man of the year. He later tried hard to remake himself as a PG and had some success, but passing never came as naturally to him as slashing and scoring. | ||

At this point, the 3pt shooting may end up being a wash if things continue as they have... CP: 1.9 3/g @68.2% SN: 2.1 3/g @48.6% | ||
