easily has been a top 3 center since hes been in the league

but he's always hurt, so you can't be Top 3 when that happens....and yes I've seen him play and honestly when you're 7' whatever, and you let Kobe go over you and rain 3's on you all day, you're not that great. Kobe schooled him so many times in the playoffs, when all Yao had to do was put a hand up.

Yao is and always will be overrated just because of his size.

how does Kobe drain 3's on yao when Centers arent even suppose to come out and guard the 3 point ball, esspecially if its against one of the top perimeter players in the league

Yao is a center and Kobe is a perimeter player... they were not matched up on eachother 1 time that entire series. Yao did outplay both Bynum and Gasol before he went down with an injury during that series.

He does get hurt too much though.. but playing in this league while being 7'6 has to put you at an injury risk. Hes still as good as any center in this league, Howard might be more of a defensive force but isnt close to as talented offensively as Yao, dudes 7'6 and can hit 20 ft jumpers on a consistent basis and his back to the basket game is unguardable... Hes an amazing talent

Too much strain.

He was doing NBA and then when the seasons were over he'd be playing in China.

Like one article said, he was driven into the ground. The Earl Campbell of basketball.
