Rockets won, but Yao isn't even close to Shaq's league.

What, are you kidding?!? I can't of another player who has ever blocked Shaq 5 times in the same game. He's a rookie and he didn't appear to intimidated at all by Shaq. Just wait until Yao gains a little more weight and muscle. He will give give Shaq all he can handle.

Manute Bol used to block a lot of shots too. Shaq still scored 30 on Yao and he only had 10 rebounds. The guy was not a factor in the game. Stevie Francis was the stud.

Yao is doing very well for a first year center, but let's not put him in the Hall of Fame just yet.
