    One of the best decision by Huston during that time period,Yao brought uncountable profit to Rockets plus he‘s a All-star level center.

    He was the right pick, best player in the 2002 draft. 2nd best in that class would be Amari Stodimire. It was a pretty weak draft with just a couple of All Stars. Houston made the right choice.

      The number 2 was jay williams i aleardy know that you are to young to know him because william was the best player in college with duke and would had have a better career then yao for sure but he had a terrible career ending injury after is rookie season and was done after that

    • @jokerofmorocco
      @jokerofmorocco 8 лет назад +2

      Even if Jay Williams becomes a star, Yao Ming is a better draft choice since you always pick the sure thing center over the sure thing guard as they are far rarer.

    • @charlesh1763
      @charlesh1763 7 лет назад +4

      Doesn't matter, how good Jay William is. Money is the key and Center is always the priority. More than that, Yao proved himself that he is totally worth for 1st pick.

    Two notes:
    1. I dont really care about the booing. NBA fans arent in the position to judge picks, let alone run a basketball team. Its like watching a bunch of toddlers bitch about how theyre getting apple juice instead of soda.
    2. NBA fans boo anytime they dont draft a black kid. History of every NBA draft.

  • @tianrunjiang2341
    @tianrunjiang2341 6 лет назад +18

    Looking back to the earliest moment of Yao’s NBA career, it is obvious to tell all the efforts he made from both in&outside of the court. From a weak to strong, from silent to humorous, from skillful to more skillful, from non-English speaker to a fluently English-speaking, and most importantly, from a simple player to the sign of China and the bridge between Chinese and American culture!

    I'm a Chinese fan and I don't understand why were you guys booing when picked Yao? I don't want to take it as racist personally but it really seems so. In China this is so rude if you boo for 1st draft pick and shows no respect to the player. You can see Yao isn't happy at all as he heard that booing too. This is just so impolite and it's still happening when you American fans treat a non-black or oversea player get drafted, such as Porzingis, who is playing great now. So why did the boo? We Chinese fans want the answer for this for so long time.

    • @dacypher22
      @dacypher22 5 лет назад +1

      韩爽 Honestly I don't think it is racism. What some people outside the US don't understand is that America has a very particular route for pro athletes that doesn't exist in other countries. If you are an athlete, it starts in high school playing for your local school. Then you get a sports scholarship to play for your college while you study. But unlike most youth leagues in other countries, these kids play on TV to millions of screaming fans, just like if they were pros. College players can be giant stars. Then they enter the professional league draft, and people who really follow the sport know them. Everyone is watching to see what college star is going to get the first draft pick. There was a feeling that Ming didn't "pay his dues" to get that coveted first pick because the fans didn't see the work he put in. That work wasn't done where they were watching, so they felt like the college stars were robbed of that #1 pick. Of course given a couple of years all of those people who boo'd became believers and came to see why he was the #1 draft pick.

    Yao Ming is one of those players that is both overrated and underrated. He is overrated because of all those biased all-star selections from China. But he's underrated because people often leave him out of the conversation when they talk about the best centers in the 21st century. I think he is better than Dwight Howard(although D12 is a better defender and rebounder but lack offensive game while Yao is more all-round) Also he should've been in All-NBA 1st Team in 2007.
