The 7'6" phenom known as Yao Ming has made a good name for himself for his debut blocking Shaquille O'Neal's shot and for improving really fast.

Ming had a not-so-impressive 2007-08 season as he was injured, but was able to attend the Olympics in China this year. Even then he was benched for a game during the opening round, which disappointed many people in the arena and those watching on TV.

Ming has problems with his knees due to his super-human size. The big question is whether he can continue a decent career or become a constant on the injured reserve, only playing fewer than 10 games each season.

An impressive shooter for his size, Ming can shoot the mid-range jumper and isn't afraid to bring it in the post to dominate with his size. He's very tough, averaging around 20 points per game every year. Ming may be a good player, but—by the looks of things, NBA Fans, and, more importantly, Yao Ming—fans may not see him compete as much due to the frequent injuries.

Ming is primed to play next season; we will see how long he can go without succumbing to another injury. Hopefully for Rockets fans, Yao can go almost all the way and make at least 70 games.
