<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Mr Wolf @ Apr 22 2006, 04:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Globally, he is overrated (especially by the Chinese) but I think here in America he is rated properly. This year he had a very good year despite the injuries and the problems the Houston Rockets had as a team. If he can continue to grow as a player mentally and physically he'll be the best center in the game. Which, as sad as it is, he isn't too far off of right now.</div> I don't blame the chinese at all though, they don't have much and he's 4 feet taller than that whole country.

hmm? Yeah everyone gets voted for atleast 50 times by fans. But Im saying that Shaq shoulda beat out Yao in that ASG so Yao beating Shaq is just people overrating him in China.
