At 7-foot-9, Chinese man hopes to play in NBA

Man.. it would be sweet if he's mobile like Yao Ming. How about that nice pass he made, I'm not sure if he actually passed it or dropped the pass though. With a pass like that, at least it implies he's not slow in the head. He also sealed off his defender nicely and got position on one of the highlights, so he at least has some fundamentals. They gotta tell him to stop moving on the picks though, its just really annoying watching him try to set a pick, the refs must be blind to not see someone that big moving on the screens.

Actually, he moves pretty smooth and he's solidly built. I thought he'd be to weak and frail to support himself.

He only plays 5.5 mins a game, averages 1.5 points and shoots 37.5% from the field.


He'll never make it to the NBA.

37.5fg% on 2pt attempts. Damn. If I was of his height, I'd prolly average 80%+ . He barely went off the floor in the first pic.

Well you have to understand that Yao's success was not merely a result of his height. Man you've gotta be able to hit open jumpers and shot the ball well, Yao does that and most players cannnot defend him at all. This is what makes him special.

I know, bro. Me and my friends play on an 8.5 foot rim sometimes just to be stupid, and I'm always like, "This is what it's like for YAO to play on a 10 ft rim. I can drain anything from that height, it's just too easy.


But, when you're over 7ft, you wouldn't be able to move nearly as well, and you'd have tons of health problems, unless you're lucky, or built like Shaq.

Very true -- he was special.
