He is my favorite Asian celebrity. He is greater than Jackie Chan, the late Bruce Lee, Margaret Cho, and Jeremy Lin.
He was a center in the NBA who surpassed all expectations and for brief moments was the best player at his position. He excelled in a few things, most of all, being tall and shooting with great accuracy. He never truly overcame his deficiencies, lack of lateral speed and an abundance of nagging injuries.
My favorite part of Yao is that he seemed thoughtful. When asked about criticisms made by another famous center, Shaquille O'Neal, a player who deserves his own post, Yao spoke eloquently and defused negativity.
