    Proof? Do you know how many Chinese station airs NBA Live before Yao became an NBA player? Do you know how many sponsors the South East Asian sponsors the NBA has pre Yao Ming?

    Yeah, you dont...
    Proof? WTF...That's like saying you need proof if Mexico is a soccer nation. The only reason you think it went bigger ( although it probably did by a slight margin) is that you we're never exposed to chinese loving Basket all before Yao Ming...Basketball has always been huge in china.

    Mother er, you aint even from China and you talk this as if its a damn fact.







    Just to give you a glimpse

    "Almost certainly, Yao Ming has introduced more people to professional basketball, surely the NBA brand, than any one man in the history of the sport. While it's difficult to get exact ratings of the 39 NBA games broadcast in a season in China on CCTV (China Central television), the best available evidence is that approximately 200 million have frequently watched when the Rockets play, which is about one-third of the time. That's 195 million more than watch an NBA playoff game, on average. It's nearly two Super Bowls worth of eyeballs on any game. Or as former Rockets guard Sam Cassell said, "Let's just say for the sake of arguing, its 50 million people. That means Yao attracts a major market all by himself. Actually, that's five major markets. And we all know it's a lot more people than that. It's hundreds of millions watching games for the whole time he's been in the league."


    "It was true that NBA got popular in China since the Jordan Era early in the 1990s. However, back then most of the Chinese basketball fans were only interested in watching replayed Bulls games, the popularity of NBA did not drive too much consumer spending. Although NBA games were amazing to the Chinese people, the NBA league seemed to be far away from their life until Yao Ming built the bridge. For the first time, the Chinese fans found NBA could be so close to them. Chinese Network started playing live NBA games.

    In context? Yeah you should. I hear people say Kobe is huge in China, which is a lie. Outside of young people in the metro area, no one knows who Kobe is. So yeah, you need to stay connected to the country before you actually know what's going on there. Unlike the US who announces every move they make, China is a communist country that prides itself in keeping everything in house.

    It won't give Yao a free pass, but it may very well serve as the basis of his enshrinement:

    Guidelines For Nomination and Election Into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

    ELIGIBILITY
    Candidates must meet the following requirements in order to be eligible for Enshrinement into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (hereafter BHOF):
    .....

    Contributor: A person is eligible for Enshrinement as a contributor at any time for significant contributions to the game of basketball. What cons utes a "significant contribution" shall be determined by the BHOF, its Screening Committee(s) or Honors Committee(s).
    Thanks. I was looking for guidelines and couldn't find them. Apparently, your not alone.......

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/s...=5-on-5-110712

    This was prior to last year so Parker doesn't get rave reviews from the panel. I guess it's all but certainty that Lin is well on his way.

    Tmac is not a HOF and he certainly isn't closer in the Hall than Bosh. Bosh at least has a championship ring. But the biggest knock on TMAC is how he ended his career. There was no prestige and frankly his at ude and work ethic will be a huge issue.
    I never said Tmac is a HOFer. He would of definitely won a championship with James and Wade.

    I don't know, he's got some impressive seasons, 5 All-Star nods, a few All-NBA selections, and he's the first Euro to win a FMVP (inb4 Boobie Gibson comments). I'd say the FMVP alone would get him in because he was the first foreigner to win one, imo
    Isn't TP in select company as a player with 5 All-Star nods and 3 rings?

    Bosh is nowhere near being a hall of fame player, especially 4 years ago. Is this guy high? Maybe if the Heat win another ring or two and he is a big part of it, otherwise, no, sorry Chris Bosh, you are nowhere near being a hall of fame player.

    Well I am not not saying they are equal ... but many throw around the "Pau is a HOFer argument" when downgrading Kobe's success. Bosh will probably have a similar resume to Pau ...with similar stats and maybe more rings. if Pau gets in (even though he is a more skilled post-player) a case can be made for Bosh after I considered it without the 4 years ago statement.

    I think Pau and Bosh will be borderline. PAu has a stronger international resume but Bosh did play int he Olympics too ... and if he stays with James will win more rings than Gasol. they also have similar numbers.

    Funny thing is in the 80's and early 90's both guys are borderline all-stars not borderline HOF'ers ...no knock on either guy I love Pau when he is the "spainard" and not in Gasoft mode ...but the lack of viable bigs makes both guys cases stronger than they really are. As much flack as David RObinson takes for choking or getting destroyed by Hakeem in the playoffs, David did more as a single star big man then both these guys combined. Sure he didnt ring without Duncan ...but he at least won a playoff series before Tim got to SA ... neither Bosh or Pau could barely win games.

    The difference is, the Lakers couldn't have won a Championship without Gasol. If he missed games in the playoffs then the Lakers would have been in trouble. Bosh last season missed games again two very good teams. The Celtics especially, were better than good, and the Heat didn't miss him all that much.

    I say no to Bosh, but yes to Gasol as of right now. Pau has won a World Championship and done well internationally, Bosh was on a rebuilt Team USA, which wouldn't be as hard as winning with Spain, or say, Argentina.

    That's not to say that Bosh can't or won't get there, but him saying he was in 4 years ago is some delusional joke.

    I agree about the level of big men in the 80s and 90s in comparison to Bosh. D-Rob could have almost gotten the Spurs to the finals twice. The Spurs barely lost to the Blazers team that made the finals in his rookie season, so the Houston series wasn't his only chance to get there. He got way closer than Bosh ever did on the Raptors. He was, is, way above Bosh. Bosh couldn't get his team anywhere in a weak Eastern conference and D-Rob went up against a prime Olajuwon.

    Gasol would be even more of a lock if he played in the 80's or 90's. He'd be the best non Afrikaans player. In a league full of white stiffs, he'll stand out.

    As a championship contributor, Pau Gasol had better stats than Bosh pretty much across the board; more points (slightly) rebounds, blocks, better shooting, better passing, it's really no contest.

    As a lead man on a borderline playoff team, Bosh has better scoring, but Gasol has better everything else, and that is before you take into consideration of pace. In 2006, for example, Grizzlies were ranked 5th in pace at 86.3, while the Raptors were 26 at 91.1, that's about a 6% swing right there. 05 and 04 were similar, though not as drastic.

    That said, Pau is a lock for HoF, and yes, mostly due to his international play, but also because of his role as a championship contributor. He was, at worst, the #2 on a 2 time champion, while Bosh, will be, at best a #3. If Bosh ever gets in, it will be like that of James Worthy, but Bosh has to really step up a few times in the playoffs like Big Game James did.

    Some great points. We agree for the third or fourth time in the past week ... Like I said, non Kobe or Duncan we share some similar beliefs and you have a wealth of knowledge to share. Hard for Bosh to be Worthy with Lebron and Wade though ... Worthy won a Finals MVP and carried the Lakers in other playoffs series. I will give Bosh credit though he was the most consistent (not best) in their second Finals (loss) vs. Mavs ... so he has that.

    Lol what kind of bull analysis is this. He's a lock for HOF based on his international play. Hey asshole since when? I guess Vlade Divac should be in based on his performances in Serbia...lol you're a gotdam moron is what you is. You is....

    Vlade Divac will make it for sure, it's a matter of time. Divac wasn't even eligible till 2011. If Sabonis is in, Vlade is a sure in.

    Gasol's gold medal doesn't hurt either.

    Bosh is being severely underrated here. He's no HOFer now but he has the talent. He's a great third option but his numbers could be much better if he was the second option and had more effort at times. With the decline of Wade the emergence of Bosh could follow. Either way Bosh is capable of more an has shown so.

    He is probably a hofer now but no way 4 years ago

    His friends probably also tell him he is the best PF in the game or that he is the most important player on the heat
