Yao Ming not only belongs to china, but belongs to all of asia.. I'm from Indonesia, and i'm proud of Yao..
Yao: Big Ben?
Wallace: Call me little Benny
I really LMAO
Lmao!!
😂
LOL
I shed a tear when he went down in that lakers series and came back and won that game for us but I knew deep down inside he wasn’t gonna return for the rest of the series and we lost in 7 games 🤦♂️ shout out to Yao for being a beast in that paint and his post fade was unguardable 💯
A tear. A
same man, when i think about it i realize that was a long time ago
Same dude, I started watching NBA when Yao started in Rockets, and when he and Tmac retired, I no longer care NBA that much.
@@jiaqigan3946 NBA is a black and white sport. Yao was an anomaly and it will never happen again.
@@followthewhiterabbit8561 ok wanker
Shaq doesn’t admit a lot of people could stop him - but when he said Yao could, that just shows how great he was
I think Shaq said He(Yao) couldn’t stop me; but I couldn’t stop him either.
@@yuxuan130411 Yes, I think he accepted Ming as an equal. Shaq has said that he thought that Hakeem was the very best, but I think he's biased, because Hakeem humbled shaq in that famous playoff series. Shaq didn't want to admit that any of the other great centers were even better than Hakeem. But, Shaq has at least admitted that Wilt, Jabbar, and Russell were also better than him (iirc). I think Shaq ranked himself as 5th best centre ever, behind those four. Personally, I think Wilt was clearly the best, but I think you can also make a strong case for both Russell and Jabbar being better than Hakeem as well.
@@yuxuan130411 thought this was my reply.
@@syncmonism Yao was just too tall and any muscle actually use force on yao it would be foul.
Hakeem > Shaq > Yao
His size matches his heart.
I love your comment!
Scientifically accurate
absolutely!
great
I have something but doesn't match my heart in the size😂
Most skilled tradition center ever.
Nah Hakeem is
nah, Yao was soft. always was and that was his kyptonite.
one of the most skilled. all the big men nowadays can't even put in free throws.
Yao is better
Hakeem is the best by far but Yao i believe was the second, extremely agile for his height
姚明加油!
Gave you thumbs up even though I don’t speak Mandarin!
Wow
Daniel Mikesell Send you a “Appreciate you Brodie” from China. 👍
ah yes
Love from China!
t Mac and Yao, I miss that old time
good old days

Yao is a player worthy of all the respects by all means
When Shaq, the most dominant center in history, tells you Yao Ming is great, you better believe it.
Shaq himself admits that Wilt, Hakeem, Jabbar, and Russell were all better centers than himself. Have you not heard of Wilt Chamberlain?! Nobody in their prime has ever dominated so much on both ends of the court. Even if he had retired after his first season, he would still hold both the highest rebounding AND scoring averages EVER. That's right, nobody except Wilt himself has ever surpassed the rebounding OR scoring averages he tallied in his ROOKIE SEASON. Jordan's best ever season? Still didn't score as much as Wilt as a rookie. Russell or Jabbar's best rebounding season? Still not as much as Wilt's rookie season. Wilt also had the most blocks ever, but they never officially recorded those in his playing days. Russell is probably second overall in blocked shots, but he also played during the same time period as Wilt.
@@syncmonism weak era, if you saw some of the matches you can't be comparing them to MJ
@@syncmonism i agree with dude above me,weak era.don't get me wrong he still beast even if he played in todays game but in that era theres not advanced like MJ era or even nowadays era
@@syncmonism Well u cant compare players from different era, the game is way different back then than today
When I was a kid, I thought centres shall be good at freethrow because of Yao.
An then there was Shaq..
GENOCIDE2099 And don’t forget Wilt Chamberlain.
in international ball they usually are
@@shiyu7060 wilt didn't shoot free throws half the time, (well he did but back then the rules were different) he would miss on purpose, run in and dunk it which was allowed back then, (later made rules because of this)
when you are bigger it is harder to shoot thats why centers usually dunk more/score in the paint you will barely see them shoot threes, shaq only got 1 three in his entire career hes broken more backboards than shoot threes
He's in the HoF for a reason. Lots of 7'5 guys out there but there is only one Yao Ming. Truly skilled for his size.
Idk abt 'lots' of 7'5 guys out there, but i get ur point
He's 7'6 BTW, and yeah the reason he was so good is because like shaq, even with that height and weight they both were quick when it came to under the rim
Lots? LOL. Maybe a few hundred?
@@DavidSmith-fw3ifhundred?, less
Imagine a centre bully prime Dwight every single game
haha exactly
Dwight was bulling any other center at that time
@@milkteamusic688 Yeah Dwight was a problem back in the days
Yeah, Dwight was bullying people with no skill just his physical ability, Yao taught him there's levels to this shit.
Too bad he never learned.
吃饭睡觉打魔兽 eat-sleep-bully Dwight
One of my favorite player, I started watching Houston Rockets because of him!
are u. chinese?
@@peterlee6503 Does it really matter?
我也是,me too
me too. I miss Yao
The amount of bullying and damage he endured I respect him even more after watching this he’s a beast
we admire him not just because of what he is capable of, also because of how humble he is. great as a player also as a man.
Scola and Yao had such a good team work. Yao basically got it all, accuracy, size, height, strength, footwork.
Underrated. One of the greatest big men ever. Needs more recognition.
If Yao plays in the NBA today, he would be a great 3-point shooter as well (which no one can block that...) and also dominate both ends.
不需要射三分咯,有姚明在內線的統治力及先今世代有內線技術形中鋒的式微,姚明場場拿三十多分不在話下,火箭有姚明就不需要順應潮流
Chileung Yuan 当然当然,只是说如果需要的话,他的三分肯定也是无敌的,别人根本帽不到😂
@@yayuzc 按照姚明的手感来说,开发出三分不是问题,而且姚明有很好的高位策应能力,非常符合现代篮球的打法,而且站在高位也不用担心每次都要沉底要位消耗过多的体力,而且为了适应快节奏的攻守转换,姚明就不会增重到那么大,导致脚骨无法支撑
哈登突分到三分线外的姚明, for threeeee bang!
sure, he got that soft touch
Yao can shoot, pass, post up, and most important, he can shoot free-throws
A big man named shaq disliked this comment
Shaq:Free-throws?😢
Mcgee looks like a shooting guard when he's playing defense on Yao!
hahahahahaha no he looks like a baby
And we all know McGee is very tall too
@@moygenji5495 You know even though I double checked, I still cant believe that man with that size is Mcgee.
Mcgee, the best player in the Shaq Fools
hahahaha get outa here mate, lmao
in his prime Yao Ming absolutely unstoppable
3 details I loved in these highlights:
2:28 - Yao's dream shake on Shaq showing amazing footwork and agility for someone his size
2:38 - Yao getting absolutely walloped on the back of the head by Shaq but still finishing the layup
3:40 - Yao's crazy lower body strength to bully even Alonzo in the post
2:28 I think Shaq said good shot after.
@@shuanghao8665and Yao replied ‘thx my brother’ LMAO
That’s from Hall of Fame speech.
As a Chinese high school kid back in 2004-2005, it was Yao who led me into the crazy world of NBA, since then I surrenderred myself to this sport, Thank you Yao, and thank you Rockets for bringing so much wonder to my life. Although I even fucked up my first college entrance exam simply because I spent so much time on watching Rockets games. Never regretted for one second. Perhaps that's the magic of this game, right?
We miss centers like him! This were great Houston years with Yao and McGrady...most favourite team ever!
A man among boys. The most complete center during the 2000s in my book.
He was fun to watch. He can do everything as a basketball player. He was incredible as a 7'6 center from China.
OMG those good old time, I was in high school in China and skip morning class to watch NBA.
Oh Yao Ming, how we missed you and the golden age of all Chinese NBA fans. Those days has been long gone and will never returned. 😭
🎶Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Ming. Yao Ming, Yao Ming. 🎶
要命,要命,要命,要命!
How could you singing with keyboard...
If Yao didn't retire so early he'd be bullying centers today. Imagine KAT against this guy😂😂😂
i always wonder that is it that the era has changed, so that there s not any dominating big sized players, or is it the opposite.
Karl would lose an 1 on 1 match.
Well someone as tall and good as him can't play too much without hurting himself. What he did is already a miracle.
I can keep watching this all day.
This man is a legend.
Yao Beast/Legend 💪🏼
For a guy who doesn't like to dunk, he sure dunks a lot
It probably wasn’t dunk for him. LOL
When you are 7'5 with a monster wingspan, it aint hard
@@SeedOilFitnessOfficial Shawn Bradlely is taller and couldn't finish at the rim like Yao. Yao had significant lower body strength, not many centers could back down Mcgee,Ratcliff, Mourning, Wallace, Howard, O'Neil and finish over them. Shaq himself raved about his strength
When you can put it in just by tip-toeing, it ain't really a dunk at that point. 😂
he would have won a championship, there's no doubt
Yao s teammates aren't good enough
2009 was the year. If Yao hadn't been overworked every single summer, he wouldn't have broken his foot and would've won a chip
Yao was garbage
@@HectorRodriguez-vz3fx hall of fame says otherwise
@@HectorRodriguez-vz3fx that garbage is laughing at you while sipping his wine at the Napa valley
When Yao pulls the Dream Shake... the inner Rocket fan in me teared up in nostalgia and pride.
Go,clutch city,,,back then no one in Houston was taller than Yao
god knows how much i miss Yao
从最开始的小巨人,到老姚,再到现在的女兆日月,这是多少球迷的青春和回忆。这里面几乎每个镜头,我都能想起当时和小伙伴们一起看球的情景。人总是这样,过去了才明白当时的珍贵。哎,也不知道我们的下一个姚明在哪里。
现在应该期待的是下一个 KD, 现在时代不同了
That footwork
I have never never seen a center that shoots outside the paint as well as Yao. Truly one of a kind ☝️
One of the best all-around center of NBA history, undoubtedly.
5:09 best move !!
I believe I watched every Yao Ming's highlight video, this one is the most comprehensive one. Yao is my hero. Thank you for creating.
YAO MING is the Best Center ever. When I saw Luis Scola in the video, I just realized that he is still playing basketball even now, how I wish Yao could be on the court longer.
Perhaps that's arguable tho because there's shaq, wilt, russel, and more, but yeah hes def top 5 if he played longer
i Can watch this All Day 🏀🔥🤙🏻
A true warrior. Nothing comes easy for him, it was a brawl every time he gets the ball.
I miss the age with YaoMing,I started to watch NBA because of YaoMing, He is my youth.
True, so true. Same here.
+1
true,I am Chinese
His height, power, skills. One of the most talented Big Man ever.
I had so much fun watching him, he had so many moves like hakeem did, if he and mcgrady were not hurt they could have one at least 3 rings i felt.
ring is an eternal pain for Yao
Good old times with goosebumps...
shed tears when watching all these scenes
So touching! Golden times when Yao is the NBA.
Fun fact is that he was suffering from foot injuries before he even got drafted. They say he was much more agile before. Ironically his biggest weakness was being 7'6 which led to many injuries and being less quick.
His foot work being that big is crazy man. Legend!
he's the full package. as a 7'6 center, while his main duty was to protect the paint and rim, also to grab as many boards as possible, he can also shoot, he can dribble, great foot work, post-up, great passing skill. what else you can ask for?
Sadly he doesn't have endurance. Him and T Mac both.
@@testadizzy95 Tmac has just revealed the reason a day ago.
Love Yao Ming, and Rockets that time.
2:34 nice move Yao thx my bor shaq: you speak english ? Yao: shaq you never talk to me
of course I speak english
Love his games ~ overloaded national team during his Prime otherwise he could have had a much longer career ~~~one of the best center ever !
We want more videos like this. Steve Francis, T-MAC and the Beard could be great
I missed T-Mac too!
T-Mac 🤙🏽
2:28 This fade away kills me!
This should be the moment Shaq mentioned at his HOF speech.
After the fade away Shaq told Yao that's a nice move, and Yao replied to him: Thanks my brother.
NOFUNG RACHMAN you speak English?
Wow he stopped Shaq multiple times and even scored on him multiple times. I'm lucky I was old enough to actually see him play in the NBA when I was a kid. I remember buying Gatorade with his picture on it.
These highlights are so fun to watch.
Oh man. I never knew so much about him. Outstanding player
2:28 OOF. He had such a beautiful post game. Sucks he had to have injury problems, he was a great player. Those Shaq matchups were always fun to watch
7:23 OOF again.
i know Yao is big, but watching this still make me thinking “damn he’s really big”
Thank you for the high quality video!
It was so much fun and exciting watching the quick leg work of big man back in the early 2000s All they do nowadays is shoot deep 3s
Imagine if not Capela or Howard but Yao partners with Harden... probably a few championships already...
or you combine present day harden with the first year we had dwight ... woulda been great
stupid assume
@@JLau910 Happy Dwight met serious Kobe, Serious Dwight met happy harden, Serious Harden met old Chris.
@@kevinmiller9760 君英文本当上手
@@kevinmiller9760 but now serious harden reunite with mature Westbrook!
Yao Ming!!! H-Town babeee
Yao Ming was a great smooth operator. He wasn't a power center like Shaq. That's why I love Yao. And, he could shoot from anywhere.
@@mancavesportstv Agree,the only problem is he didn’t shoot 3 points. But it doesn’t matter at all, since he is so dominated in the paint.
Real definition of Absolute Unit
He has been a bridge between two countries. He is also the leader for those kids in China who dream basketball. I am feeling so grateful that I watched his games in his best years.
Damn injuries, I loved watching him play
Yao had that “it” factor. Injuries sidetracked a couple of rings for that guy... I saw his game grow exponentially each year and he had that real desire to win...
agree, yao got that spirit of a champion and works like one too, The younger gen kids in china don't have that desire anymore
This is such a joy to watch
Thank you Yao Ming for everything
OMG! Gasol, Kaman, Mcgee, Howard...He makes those 7 footers looks so small. LOOK AT THIS 6:39
大姚,你在打球的时候大家都齐心协力为你加油,那时候所有人都抛开意识形态的问题欣赏最纯粹的运动,那时候中美关系也没有像现在这么差。那些年过去了,我很怀念它,也很怀念你。
full of respect! big yao
It's not fair someone that size was SO SKILLED. Guy simply knew what he was doing all the time. Amazing.
The super-duper-ultra-mega advantage of being a giant under the rim plus the bility to do fadeaways, hookshots and midrange shot is just a sign that this man is a legend in NBA.
Houston, the most loved us city in china♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
was, ruined by Morey
요우밍은 천재다. 그리고 대단한 선수다.
I enjoyed every second of this video.
I remember playing NBA Live as the Rockets and having Yao and TMac felt like a cheat code!!! LOL Yao with like 30 ppg, 20 rpg
He could ball. Most people don’t remember that dudes that tall were usually just that. Tall and clumsy, Yao was skilled and had good foot work for a dude that tall and that is hella impressive
The Tyson Fury of basketball. Size, reach, and skill. Very hard to deal with.
Yao moves were our childhood moves, we were slim and short in 2003, watching every his game. Underrated MAN
I love him...❤
yao “the GOAT” ming
I miss Yao
Lean, mean, Chinese machine. One of the most skilled and entertaining big men to ever do it
I should've watched more of this. tmac yao and scola seemed awesome!
We in China had an old saying that "even God envies those people who got it all!" That was Yao. Take it, and enjoy the rest of your life! LJW from Beijing!
5:10 OMGGGG
clean
ikr
Like a crocodile
When I watch the Lakers now, felt that McGee was really tall and long. Seeing how short he is compared to Yao. Wow
谢谢你姚明 ,怀念那段幸福的时光。。。
Yao is legend 💪🚀.
Damn imagine if Yao played in today’s nba. He would dominate
I started watching NBA because of Yao
the likes vs dislikes told everything. we luv this big man
Great man great legend
