<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">2) Yao Ming I have no doubts that at this time next year, Ming will top this list hands down. However, with a Larry O'Brien trophy on Shaq's mantle and a losing record on Ming's conscience, he's still not there just yet. When Yao was healthy this season, he was simply dominant. He was Dream-esque minus a few blocks and he had finally arrived in the NBA. Unfortunately, his shortened season weakened his impact and it went generally unnoticed by many basketball fans. This season, I expect that Ming will play around 80 games and revive the Rockets alongside T-Mac and the newly acquired Shane Battier and Bonzi Wells. Statistically, Ming was the league's best center, but until the Rockets get somewhere in the playoffs, he will remain second best. 1) Shaquille O'Neal This was easily Shaq's worst season to date in the NBA and he still wound up with a championship. However, Shaq has promised another one next season and if anyone can do so with credibility, it's Shaq daddy. Even though it was his worst season, 20 and 9 is nothing to laugh at and as long as he trusts Dwyane Wade to carry the scoring load, there's no reason for him not to be the Big Decoy rather than the Big Diesel. He'll never be the league's free throw champion, but the rest of his game is without weakness and he is still the league's toughest matchup. </div> Source
For now, I agree with this list. Yao showed some great stuff in those games he played last year. If he stays healthy the whole season, I`m sure he`ll take the number one spot. He showed some great dominance, something he can take the spotlight from Shaq on.
I agree with this list, except Yao will take number 1 spot in the next 2 years or so if he stays healthy.

I'm not crazy about that list, but it isn't horrible. I'd put Kaman on there before Mourning, and I'm not sure Bogut deserves to be ranked top 10 yet. For sure take off Mourning + Bogut and add Kristic and Kaman.
