You probably know about NBA great Yao Ming for one reason. His height. At 7-foot-6 Yao was a giant on the basketball court and was actually the fifth-tallest basketball player in NBA history. But there was much more to Yao than just his height. He was a rare NBA talent that transcended the sport across his eight-year NBA career. Just how good was Yao as a player and how was he able to grow basketball to unprecedented heights in China?

One more thing that contributed to his short-lived career was that he also had to play for the national team during the summer hence he got almost no time to rest like other NBA stars did.
Imagine having to play a full intense NBA season, plus playoffs, plus national team games, with past injury records... It's actually a miracle that Yao still managed to last for 8 seasons in the NBA.
Apparently Yao was instrumental in instigating some clause in Chinese basketball ball players contracts that they can refuse to play for the national team if they wish.
Im not sure abt what he was really thinking in those years, but if he didn’t play for the national team of China, he would be definitely consider as a traitor by his own country with regard to their culture. So actually it was a no no situation. What a pity for NBA… But for Mr. Yao, he got money and he got fame anyway, so i guess it’s a win win.
it's a pity yao ming
@@nathanpetrus1776 Also because China is and was so shit without him they needed Yao to carry their asses at every single minor international tournament. "Oh Mr. Yao save us we can't beat the likes of Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong in the East Asia regional championship without you dropping 40-20 every game!"

Just imagine Yao not having any of those injuries...... Yao and McGrady would have dominated
If both are healthy. They will get rings
i miss Yao
@Patrick Villanueva he prob stays healthy
Imagine Westbrook, Harden and Yao Ming
@@1stCommentCop imagine
Yao made the all star game every year of his career
Non Stop Sports cause he’s a dominant center
lolb Hold as well as when Yao joined, fan votes for the allstar game in china opened up and he got alot of votes from there
I’m down with Yao too but remember it’s voter based and he was the only player China had to vote for.
Even in his rookie years?
Javion Fernandez yes
imagine if this man never got injured
Same with T-Mac
And d rose
WAS SAYING THE SAME THING!
man i wish he never had those injuries and SOO EARRLLY
why not much later, i would have loved to see what he couldve done without these early injuries hampering him
@@futurespastor6377 😭 Ikr
He retired before foot surgery. If he had lost weight and rebuilt his foot, he could have played on for another 5 seasons
Both Yao mings parents are taller than everyone in my family
Most people lol. I'm 6'2 but might as well be 4'11 standing next to those giants.
And his wife is also really tall. You don't want to sit on the back row of this family in a movie theater 😂
Samee
@@reactking7093 I’m jealous 6’2 is my dream height but I’m only 5’8 17 and a half years old 😢
@@ngovkimhour5437 lol when I was 17 I was 5'8 and than grew to 5'10 after a couple of months. When I turned 18 I was 5'11 and now at 19 I'm 6'1.5
That tiny clip at the end with Kobe messing around and joking with Yao almost made me cry. RIP kobe
RIP
Life can be short... let's not waste it.
💔🏀
Life is short don't waste it by commenting on RUclips
It's his own fault.
To be that tall doesn't automatically translate to being great in the NBA (Shawn Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, sorry). Yao is something else, he was not only tall, he was quick and skilled. I doubt we'll be seeing someone like him again in the NBA anytime soon.
Exactly, only having height as your main weapon is not enough. Those guys who made on top of NBA is the real monsters among the athlete. I've seen a top university player got schooled by a former unknown NBA player who retired for years
It could be a big disadvantage if you can’t use it well
Yeah
Victor Wembanyama, if he doesn't have too many injuries I think can make a huge impact in the league in upcoming years.
Killer machine from Xi Ping that nigga is crazy💀💀
It's rare to have such height with genuine athletic ability.
Yao Ming changed the game in some ways. Once in a lifetime type superstar. Was an honor to watch him play in his prime.
All nba players should thank him for the increased salary cap.
Knowing he is 7'6 is incredible enough
7'5
@@user-tz2uf1xw5c 7’6
@@ozzysurdukan3451 that's with shoes on, without shoes on he's 7'5
@@ozzysurdukan3451 he said it by himself. do you have any proof that he's 7'6 without shoes on???
@@user-tz2uf1xw5c never said I did
This channel hella underrated tho.
"He don't even gotta jump"....cried out from my soul as I watched him dunk. Lol
So much respect for Yao’s sportsman spirit and humility, all he aimed to achieve is contribute more, to NBA, to basketball, to his hometown and the people.
This man was absolutely incredible when he wasn’t injured
His height and size made him vulnerable to injuries. Also, the taller you are, the harder the heart works to pump blood across the body.
yeah im 6,5 and my brother is 6,7 and he has many knee injuries and sleeps a lot.
@@imnackeredsirnackered948 yeah me too, i'm 9'7 and i can't hide my dick.

Normally I dont like these kinds of "here before" comments but this is a good one
Lol same
Dont think this channel will blow
@@sebvt3603 Lol you look dumb now
If Yaoming didn't get injured a lot he could be one of the best centers that we ever seen.
Now ppl look back and realize Yao was such a versatile center, the last one nba ever had. The nba today is almost all guard plays. Yao is a one of a kind legend.
An absolute beast. Imagine trying to guard him? Good for you YAO.
Shaq is still trying to imagine guarding Yao😂🤣
Nobody had to overcome racism in the nba like Yao Ming…. Glad he got the well earned respect of everyone he so much deserved.
Jeremy lin got 100 times worst than yao ever did... he did everything great and still not recognize for his talents.
@@dablaugntximntxub2318 yeah
That’s true…I have nothing but respect for my Asians brothers and sisters 🙏🏾
Glad to see some diversity in the NBA
@@LoopyLemon775 what diversity? Or you're just being sarcastic? Lol
@@619elephant9 I don't think he was being sarcastic because there isn't exactly a storied history of Asian players having a lot of fanfare and respect in the NBA.
Keep making videos these are amazing pieces of lost history we need youtubers to remind us of all the cool shit when we were oblivious 😂😂
I will be forever honored this Man ... I've been idolizing him since I was a child... and watching this video made me tears... I remember how good he was... he is the only NBA asian superstar that made it successful.... I love you idol 😎 i will forever idolizing you🤗
Amazing video!😃
I'm a casual and that was extremely informative for me. Thanks!
He's tough and i loved that Houston Rockets back in 2008/2009
I was in 9th grade when the hype around Yao was becoming very exciting and it was genuinely cool to see he lived up to all of it. Even though he was an experienced basketball player in China and extremely tall, you never really know how someone like him, especially from an entirely different culture, not being able to converse in English, and lack of American basketball experience, will actually perform in a league like the NBA. Not only was he 7'6" but the dude was most definitely a skilled pro-level basketball player which is a rarity as far as having both those attributes and obviously a giant asset for any team with a good coach. It was awesome to see him play once he got into his groove and had McGrady at his side. You won't see someone like him very often in the NBA but it was an extremely cool era of basketball when Yao was playing.
Yao has my favorite HOF speech. Guys just so damn likeable.
Hi! I luv ur vids!
6:00 michael Jordan: it was then that it became personal with me
I am not saying yao is not good but the fact that he thinks hes good i- it became personal with me
Can yall imagine if yao was healthy throughout his entire career? The stats would got even higher for this guy , I miss watching him play , I never even care to watch basketball if yao wasn't playing , much love and respect from a big fan 🙌 from Brazil
A true legend and a nice person
Cool vídeo!
Luv your videos

I miss Yao. He would have won an MVP or two if it weren’t for injuries. 2006-07 Yao was flat out insane level of dominant before he broke his knee. In 08, as soon as he was beginning to regain his dominance, with the Rockets looking like legit contenders, hairline fracture. 09 proved to be the last straw. He was a great player and a class act. What could have been?
It's too bad china forced him to play in the off-season
5:21 squak looks cute near him
And don't forget one thing. He provided the world with one of the most legendary memes of all time. Meme hall of famer you might say...
Nice Video
2005 playoff is a shadow that summarizes how bad Rockets’ rotation was in those years. Yao and TMac hardly got any support from everyone else.
Yao never really had a good backup center in his career (Mutumbo only played 1 good season with Rockets), so he needs to play 35 minutes per game in many seasons something nobody else who’s 7’6 could ever afford. He never played with a decent Power Forward until Luis Scola. The best Point Guard he ever played with was Aaron Brooks (Imagine). His teammates were never championship level except for 2008-2009 squad, but he and TMac made the team stand out and become a potential contender for many years. That’s how good he was.
I really think that lacking a good point guard for those years is the main reason that Rockets never achieved better goals. No one on earth could 1v1 defends Yao’s post move, and that is a fact. When he got the ball in any post position, you better just pray. As a result, teams needed post front position to guard him which prevents Yao from getting the ball. Under these circumstances, a good point guard who knows how to pass the ball to him becomes so crucial. Sadly Rockets never had one in Yao’s whole career.
Don’t blame him for injuries. He’s fucking 7’6 and he’s a franchise player. If he only played 30 mpg, and played less international games for national team, his career could have lasted way longer.
Not to mention he also played too many games outside the NBA for Chinese National team which exhausted his body even more.
Agreed with all of your info, but the best point guard he played with was Steve Francis.
@@PRDee9 what about lowry
Chris Zhou when Lowry was on the rockets he wasn’t as good as he is now. In my opinion he wasn’t as good as Francis.
These videos are the best!
Nothing but love and respect for Yao!
Exactly, but none for this youtuber. The xenophobia about China is literally oozing through my screen. So gross. I've reported this video and I suggest you do the same.
@@EyeOfThePhi bruh what? this dude is literally praising yao and barely brought any politics into this
Yao is awesome haha!
That last scene with kobe❤️
Nice video
Imagine Yao was healthy all his career and also Tmac.
Yao Ming, we are proud of you 👍
Yao Ming a legend will always be remembered 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
sometimes, the "some asian people are better than you" frase can really shock and scare me at the same time imma be honest lol
Asia has most of the worlds population
Legend 👏
towards the end i was pretty much in tears man. got a bit emotional :(
MJ: "congratulations to him for breaking my all star voting record. I was happy for him, but when he looked at me without saying anything, that's when I took it personal"
This man is legend
9:54 The good old times 😣😔 (rip)
Best documentary The Year of the Yao.
He represents Asia in NBA because of him an Asian can imagine about dream of NBA love you Yao Ming from india
The frustration he probably felt not being able to do something he enjoyed because of his injuries must’ve been really😢
now it is very rare to see any NBA center players that similar to Yao Ming, so tall, can shoots well, dunk without jumping higher, shoot free throws like KB & MJ...
Giving your all even your health! grande Yao!!!❣️
I just love that Shaq was the biggest Yao skeptic of all time.... and Yao still completely won him over through his skill and persistence
great player. fast center with long shot ability
I wish he was still on my team
Most akward handshake on 3:08
That dream shake on Shaq at 5:20 was nasty!
Yao Ming is someone’s dad in my class! So I got to meet him
Make friends of him yo secure dah bag
No
Yao is a trader of his country
Jimmy Gingo traitor* and no he was pressured to play the sport 10 hours a day
@@tacobusiness7181 how is he a traitor?
I was following the Yao’s wiki page at the same time🤣🤣
🐐Yao Is Another Goat A Titan Goat🐐
Wow what an amazing man
why i start played basketball as a kid, 1- slam dunk anime, 2- yao
Imagine him shooting 3s in this era no physicality 30p, 10.6r, 3.8a, 2.9blk
Yao and Shaq were both amazing
Yao's size is also his enemy. His oversize body had been already injured prone to carrying his heavyweight and impact from movements.
Had he and TMac been healthy, the competition in the west would be amongst Lakers, Spurs and Rockets
I got to know about him by his laughing meme but if he never got injured man he would have been a beast in basketball
You should do “how good was Yao Ming really?”
Wow this is a really good video with so much information. Well done man. Got my subscribe! Keep it going dude!
His parents said: let’s make d1 athletes
This guy diserves his own branded shoes
"Nike Mings"
Do same video but about Mutombo
salute to this guy.
Flight: Yaooooooooo Mingggggg
Flight picks up Yao every year 😂
Yao Ming not only shattered the stereotype of Asian men often portrayed in the American media, but he held his ground, especially against Shaq and was able to be an impactful player as the focal point of the Rockets. Though of a Japanese descent myself, couldn’t be prouder of this guy.
That boy Yao averaged 20 and 9 for his career, respect
Yao is also handsome 🤩🤩🤩💯
Much respect 🙏🏾
I love to see black people and Asian people come together man.
Matter a fact I love to see everyone come together?
I love to see diversity In the NBA.
Word
I lake it vid
Imagine standing right next to somebody whos 7'6". God damn I wanna see this guy in person so bad
where can i find the video with him doing a reverse dunk?
when kobe said you are good....its really good
Right pic of the thumbnail, they look like business partners
I never followed it much but from what other people said I figured he was okay but they said he was soft but from seeing him play it looks like if he was healthy he's unstoppable.
Yao deserves a ring
I watched when he first came to the U.S. He was looking through video games at a store.
I just read Yao's wikipedia page before watching this video and I see that this video is pretty much identical to what I just read. How original :)
Not many people would read on Wikipedia, this channel is doing us a favor by reading it for us, personally I like it when someone is reading something for me, it takes less effort to listen than to actually read
@@HereGoesKevin Tbh I definitely agree with you. I just happened to read his page before seeing this video and I preferred watching/listening than reading
This video is great but there's a lot of conspiracy about his upcoming
How so?
No one cares tho
