Hall of Famer Yao Ming

[Pelicans78]

I think Yao has a chance to get in for contributions to the game, but that is it. No way his on the court accomplishments get him in, but the HoF just doesn't recognize on the court accomplishments.

Yeah his career averages of 19 and 9 are what really sealed the deal for me.

I'm just happy that he retired before Les could up some more and sign him to another deal

looks like one of those "dress shirt & tie combo packs" that charge double the price of a dress shirt and tie bought separately for people who are too ed to match a shirt and tie on their own

Yao is pretty much the reason NBA is pretty popular in China, so he will probably get an induction.

Yao will get in. People seem to forget the Basketball Hall of Fame isn't the NBA Hall of Fame but encompasses all of basketball. If you look at what he did for the game, the numbers he produced healthy, and the numbers he put up in international basketball it's pretty conclusive that he will get in.

At least he's looking at the camera this time.

He'll get in because he was an impact NBA All-Star player and for what he did internationally for the game. He'll also get in because he was the first Asian NBA superstar. Just like Jackie Robinson got in the MLB Hall of Fame as the first black baseball player, Yao will get in for this reason if nothing else.

damn son what made you wanna wear that shirt?

[jimo2305]

lol some of y'all's responses are re ed.. there's no such thing as nba hall of fame.. it's called the basketball hall of fame and inductees are recognized for their contributions to the game..

with that being said.. according to the OP.. i'm an idiot

[Lincoln]

Lol mirror pic, tbh not as cliche tho cuz he isn't in the shower this time

[Lincoln]

Lol it being in a hotel room

[dude1394]

Didn't that last all-star berth come when he hadn't even suited up?

I thought Yao was a good dude but you might as well put Ralph Sampson in if you are putting Yao in.

I would choose Dirk 70+ games then Yao's 50 or less games anyday of the season, not even considering the fact that Dirk is a 7 foot shooting beast. Yao wa very dominant when he was healthy but thats only half the ball game, the other is staying healthy to be able to use your talents.

What a stupid argument. Dirk is an automatic in. Yao is going to be in for transcending basketball and bringing China it's basketball to America and for bringing the NBA to China. People forget that this isn't just about scoring points and rebounds although he did very well in that regard too. Shame his career was cut short. Rik Smits battled foot problems in his career from 1996 to 2000. At least he battled his feet to a tie. Too bad Yao was not able to battle on as Rik Smits did.
