definitely drob. yao is definitely more skilled in my book because yao had better baby hook and better 15fter. drob is physically imposing and is 10 times more athletic, but yao was more skilled. i would say yao's skill level is up there with ewing.

yao's problem was him being too damn tall. which was his gift and his curse.

lol. drob scored like 72 in the last game of the year when he needed a ton to win the scoring title. yao could maybe score 42. tops.

All I can say to this...go watch game 7 of the 2007 playoffs where the Jazz beat Houston on the road. Carlos fricken Boozer domininated his ***. Nuff Said.

and you should know why boozer dominated yao if you watched the game. and why would yao ever guard someone who is foot shorter? yao matches up very well against drob.

aberration. drob is definitely a skilled center with freaky athleticism. probably the most athletic center ever walked on earth. but overall yao had better offensive arsenals and he could stretch the field more. yes, drob can dunk all over you and can do all the things a center should do in 5-8ft. but yao had something drob consistently didn't have. yao could shoot 15-18fter and he shot very well.

who's better player? drob. better defensive player? drob. more valuable to his team? drob. but yao had better offense.

who had better offense between shaq or yao? answer is yao.


but again, yao was a limited player due to his poor stamina and awkward body type.
 
The Admiral is easily a better offensive player & better player overall than Yao.

D-Rob averaged 25+ PPG for 4 seasons and Yao did it 1 season.

Yao is 7'6, and never averaged 11+ RPG, while Robinson did it 5 times.

and yet drob score 72 in a game and yao wouldn't come within light years of that.

because yao can't get that many attempts. yao has trouble getting the ball against the double team. but even with his physical limitation, he avg 25pts in 33 min his peak. he was on his way to be a 28/10 guy. too bad his body couldn't last long.

it's like MJ can never score 100pts because he doesn't shoot 3s. but kobe could if he decided to shoot everytime he has the ball.

Lol, wut? Yao averaged 17 FGA per game and 8.6 FT attempts per game in 2006-07 and barely cracked 25 PPG.

Wow, against the most underachieving center in the history of the game. Good job. Good thing he's not DRob.

you said he doesn't match up well with anybody. he torched DPOY of this era. and i never ever mentioned yao's defensive ability. he can be a defensive liability against run & gun team with small stretch 5 center.

but that's not what we are arguing. i'm only talking about yao's offensive ability for this loaded team. he is teaming up with great teams who will demand double teams at every possession. you can't double yao for this team because there is nobody you can leave open. drob will neutralize yao, but yao will get his 16-18pts regardless because he is such a tall player who can shoot over anybody for this team. and on defensive end, yao has plenty of help. yao's sheer size always have been a plus against true centers. in yao's peak, yao had better of aging shaq, who was definitely a shell of his former self, but still was considered top 3 center in the league.

and? what are you trying to say? yao avg. 25pts in 33.8min. 26.6 per 36. better than any of drob's season per 36 wise. drob's best was 26.5 and that's when he was clear cut lead dog. yao couldn't play more than 35 min, and he had to share the offensive load with tmac.

and yao's fg% is not as good because he shot jumpers alot.

and yao never truly reached his peak due to his injury. 2009 -2011 would've been his true peak.

You said he had limited touches?
 
With all your love for older players Fabtrey, you sure aren't giving any love to the depth of my front court.
 
A little bit off topic, but I think rings in these type of discussions are irrelevant, tbh.

Damn, that's a lot of excuses.

David Robinson would ear Yao ' s lunch.

rebounding =/= not offensive skill

we are only talking about yao's prime vs. drob's prime. yao's prime was short lived. only 06-07 season counts for yao. and even that season yao missed 30+ season. had he stayed healthy all season that year, yao would've been 27/10. and that's 33.8 min. his per 36 would've been near 28/10.

yao has better overall offense. drob better overall player. drob a better overall offensive contributer due to his athleticism.


thankfully basketball is 5 on 5.



again, zebo is better offensive player than blake griffin. doesn't mean zebo is better than griffin.

Lmao! Yao averaged 25 and 9.4 in 33.8 mins in 48 games that year. How would his PPG go up by 2 and his rebounds go up 0.5?
