Shaq thinks so.
Yes shaq is an idiot, but its truly hard to get respect from him, especially rival Cs, Yao was amazing too.

Re: Could Yao have been a top 5 center ever barring injuries?
Yao really was great. I know because im a rockets fan. It was devastating when kobe ended his career by running into his knee. He could've been something special had he stayed healthy. Yao was a really smooth center. He had a very nice touch on his jumpshot and hooks. Not to mention, he was a pretty good free throw shooter too.
Top 5 all time is a stretch. I think if he stayed healthy, and consistently played like the 2004-2009 yao, he'd be in the top 15Last edited by Smook A.; 03-16-2014 at 07:16 AM.

And Yao was actually incredibly strong too, notice how shaq had to really work to back him down in many of their matchups.

I think so. Another one of those "what if" scenarios in the NBA. Yao`s offensive aresenal was something truly special.

Re: Could Yao have been a top 5 center ever barring injuries?
I think so. People had an extremely difficult time scoring against him. And his offense was pretty unstoppable too. In a world where he wasn't injured and the refs call things fairly, he really could be not only top 5 but the greatest of all time.

Even at Yao Ming's best, he was nowhere near top 5 Centre standard.

No but he would be the best center today by a lot.
