Yao Ming said that he wants to work with Hakeem Olajuwon in the offseason

Now I have to give Yao Ming a lot of credit now, because this shows me he is making an effort to get better and who better to learn from than the Dream? I just hope the dream can teach the man something

He will never be the Dream. He is not a quick jumper. He will have a hard time getting that important rebound or blocked shot because he doesn't have the "quick-twitch" muscle action. But he does give you 25 a game with a high shooting % and a high free throw %. And any GM that says they wouldn't want that is lying out of his ass.

He still needs to get rid of that lazy FADE AWAY jumpshot, especially when being guarded by a much smaller defender

If Yaq turns and shots as soon as he gets the ball he hits that fade alot more. It's when he holds the ball and looks for the double team that it gets him out of a sync.

Hakeem needs to teach him a LOT MOVES
