Reposted on: 30.6.09 0234.15 | Let the smack talking begin. From ESPN.com:
A day after making basketball history, 7-foot-5 Yao Ming worked out with the Chinese national team and pledged one day to best Shaquille O'Neal.
"He is a mountain in my way," Yao said, referring to the Los Angeles Lakers' own 7-foot star. "I will try to conquer it by all means."

Can he be the one to give Shaq a battle? Or did he bite off more than he can chew? | Promote this thread! |             | ekedolphin

You bet'cha. A skinny, though tall, Chinese dude is gonna best Shaq?
First thing he needs to do is bulk up. A LOT.
Yao may have scored 32.5 points a game playing in the Chinese leagues, but that was triple-A ball. Welcome to the big leagues, Yao... pray to God that Shaq doesn't destroy you. | SerWolfe

But from what I've seen, Ming can actually play. Bradley was there for one reason and one reason only: he was 7'6". This guy (Ming) has talent to go with that size. | DJ FrostyFreeze

In Communist countries thats the LEAST of their training methods. I wouldn't be surprised if Ming was originally a two-headed Siamese female twin midget before their "trainers" got to him. | Triple Preperation H

Especially after his academy award winning performance in Kazaam. Let's hope for the sake of the free world you are not correct.
