Yao Mings Top 10 Plays of his Career

Considered to be one of the best shooting big men in the history of the game, Yao Ming towered over his defenders and was a global icon & Chinese hero. Few players have had the international following Yao Ming developed over his career & he delivered a steady flow of amazing plays for his fans. Lets take a look back at his brilliant career and count down Yao Mings 10 best plays!

That behind the back crossover one handed dunk was so clean

Who knew at that time, An asian was the tallest strongest basketball player, a black tiger woods was the best golfer, and a white boy eminen was the best rapper. LMAO

[willyang]

Yao was literally part of my childhood memories... Miss him playing on the court so much

[greenlegopiece]

Imagine being over 300 pounds and not being fat

[dxburner]

Man... I really took basketball for granted as a kid. Really wished I could've watched Yao more

Even though he had a short career, he was probably the most famous player in the NBA during his time.  I remember his first game against Shaq and everyone was anticipating the match up and he stuffed Shaq two times in a row and nobody had ever saw that happen to Shaq before.  Then Yao on his first possession against Shaq beat him clean for a swish.  That was probably the first time in history we ever saw anyone dominate Shaq like that both on defense and offense.  Yao, obviously is not as accomplished as Shaq, but u have to admit, nobody has ever given Shaq any trouble except Yao.  They had some good battles.  Most of all, Yao is a really humble, likable, down to earth guy.  If you can find a way to get past your inner covert racism of chinese people, you'd come to know that Yao is probably one of the most nicest and humane people on the earth.  He's also given us one of the greatest meme faces "bitch please" of all time hehe.

can’t imagine the racism he went through, not a lot of us asians can make it into the NBA

[rudy]

Damn, he even owned Ben Wallace, what a beast

[JDHJDH]

Yao was a great talent, it's a damn shame injuries kept him off the court so often.

[xmaxfactorx]

I will always regret not watching too many rockets games during the Yao Ming era.

There is no other guy in the world that size who could do that fast break behind the back crossover like that. He really is a one of a kind legend. Too bad his career was cut short due to his foot problems

[idipped]

He averaged 25, 9 and 2 blocks in his best year imagine if he never got injured and kept those numbers goign

[i-will-trigger-you]

legend says he can still block while lying down

[michaelhuang]

Yao's fundamental skills are top notch; his dribbling and his shooting are perfect for his size. these centers nowadays rely to much on their body

[kingwarrior]

Greatest Asian Player and one of the best big man to ever play the game!

[susblasian]

People: asians aren't tall

Yao ming: Hold my rice

[rhcpguitarar]

This dude was so fucking raw. Never will be another player this height and this talented.

[ilovehbp]

He looks like an adult playing with a bunch of kids. haha it's awesome!

[swalker]

Without injuries to him and t Mac he might have went down as top 3 big all time. Dude was dominant for short period. On both ends, no flaws, except maybe a little slow footed. To be expected at 7 5 or whatever he really was

[sway]

0:29 can you hear that dunk it hit hard
