Yao really provides some excellent insight, wow. He is great!
He's a thinker. He can be a coach or manager in the future. He's certainly trying to bring what he learned in US to China, but he's working against a big established system and thinking. Fantastic guy.
A stronger sports culture requires both a top-down and bottom-up directive. China's sports culture is almost all top-down, which has its benefits (e.g. coaching and training can be provided for those who can't afford it) but also drawbacks (e.g. "late-bloomers" never get discovered or taken seriously because they're not seen as having had enough experience).
Yao is smart
that kind of practice schedule probably had something to do with his leg injuries... too much stress when players are still growing
No his injuries came when he didn't get any rest because he was playing 11 months a year because he was forced to do so.
Yao was definitely being careful here about suggesting changes to the sports system in China. One thing you DO NOT DO in China is speak out against government policies.
Yao's shoe is bigger than Graham's entire body
I remember seeing a bootleg jersey of his when he first got drafted that said Ming on the back 😂
Yao was so much bigger than all the players
Deep af
Yao couldn’t honestly answer when he was asked what would YOU do to change the system in chinas sport cause he would probably get banned from China for expressing his opinions. HA !
ur thinking too much. He’s the president of cba. Changing system is his job
holy crap yao is huge, when you have someone to compare to.
Basically the problem with Chinese sports is that for most team sports (bball, soccer), it's extremely difficult to identify future stars simply by assessing physical traits. Sure, you can select for height, strength, even leaping ability, but most team sports require a ton of intangibles as well as things like muscle memory and reaction timing that aren't easily measured. So at the end of the day, you look at the Chinese olympic men's bball team, SUPER tall, and still one of the worst teams out there. You don't get any of the "late bloomers." And you especially don't get great guard play (a position that absolutely requires incredible athletic IQ and intangibles).
Graham's longest interview ever.
KEN WINS yea alot of sports stars wont dive deep and try to answer with minimum effort.. Yao impressed me with his effort and ability to go into detail
Tallest
Imagine a 14 year old losing 40 kilo and still alive. I would’ve weighed 15 kilo after that
感觉yao没有正面直接的回答第一个问题。感觉有点像外交部口吻
I think even if China's programs gets up to pace with the US.. (which is unlikely, because U.S. is much better than the rest of the world in terms of sports) the talent will never catch up... I'm Asian, I know that Asians in general... just can't compete against African Americans... that's a physical disadvantage we cannot overcome... maybe when the World gradually gets closer by interracial marriages, but I don't see any chance of catching up... the sports Asians are good at now are only good because U.S. haven't taken up on the sport... once they do, good-bye
Still waiting for US master race to reign table tennis.
inb4 table tennis isn't a real sport
Well African American didn't really do well in soccer. European do. For sports that require physical advantage like heights or strength yeah maybe they can dominate. But for sports that require agility and intelligence, I don't think they can.
^ Same. Its called self-respect and pride. How the guy sound perpetuates the stereotypes and is a prime example of why so many asians doubt themselves or think of themselves as inferior. Always stand up for yourself, have self-respect for yourself. If you're weak, work-out. Played football and a variety of other sports all through high school and even won a few championships along the way. It was fun to shatter stereotypes in highschool, just gotta be hungry for it.
Lin ? Yao ?
There are over 700 million Chinese males and Basketball is the most popular sport in China. I wouldn't doubt there will be at least 10+ more Chinese NBA players in the next couple of years.
Jeremy Lin is of Chinese descent and he was rated as, or even more, athletic than many guards in his cohort. Not all black men are athletic. And not all Chinese men lack athleticism. There may be more black men on average who are athletic. And there may be on average a lot of Chinese men who are not as athletic. But to make a sweeping generalization and apply it to every individual of a person's given group is foolhardy because we are talking about averages here (if such averages do exist).
From what I have gathered:
"Basic Athletic Measurement (BAM) is the company that administers athletic tests for the NBA Draft Combine. The Combine is an annual event where the top NBA Draft prospects (only an elite group of about 60 get invited every year) are tested for speed, strength, agility and jumping ability. BAM prides itself on being the gold standard for athletic testing, using the latest computer technology and electronic timing equipment to achieve consistent results.
Pro teams analyze these test numbers in every conceivable way to increase their odds of drafting an impact player. Lin did not get an NBA Draft Combine invite, but he did have a BAM score. Lin’s numbers for speed were released on the BAM blog today.
Lin was tested in another, less known combine-the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (PIT). Although it’s under the radar, the Portsmouth Invitational, now in its 60th year, is actually the original Combine.
.....
Brett Brungardt, BAM’s founder and former NBA strength and conditioning coach (Dallas Mavericks, 2000-2002), breaks down Lin’s speed numbers.
“Lin’s numbers are very impressive,” Brungardt says. “In the three-quarter court sprint, which is 25 yards, Lin’s BAM numbers compare favorably to Derrick Rose, John Wall and Kyrie Irving.”
So how fast is Jeremy Lin?
BAM gives three numbers: average speed, start speed, and top-end speed. BAM translates this into miles per hour. Average speed is calculated by an algorithm that averages start speed and top speed. Start speed is the first burst of speed, the acceleration phase. Top speed is shifting gears out of the acceleration to one’s peak speed. Here’s how Lin’s BAM numbers compare in the 25 yard sprint.
AVERAGE SPEED
Jeremy Lin: 16.66 mph
Derrick Rose: 16.60 mph
John Wall: 16.48 mph
Kyrie Irving: 15.67 mph
Lin wins this battle.
START SPEED
Lin: 13.93 mph
Wall: 13.25 mph
Irving: 12.64 mph
For Rose, BAM has only average speed data.
Lin wins this battle too.
TOP SPEED
Lin: 18.85 mph
Wall: 19.30 mph
Irving: 18.74 mph
Lin comes in second to Wall."
