Yao Ming
In my view, the NBA season does not begin until April. However, in his first three games this season, Yao Ming hasn't been as good as I had expected. Sure, it's only three games and I haven't watched any of them, but it seems like he has been getting into early foul trouble and unable to play. The Rockets are "Knicks South" in my view, with Charlie Ward, Jeff Van Gundy and Patrick Ewing.

He doesn't play physical.
Plays small for his size.
He just doesn't seem like he has the fire in the belly like Jordan/Bird/Magic.
More like a Kareem center than a Shaq like center which is what people were expecting (a rival to Shaq).
I remember reading an ESPN colum/excerpt by him (or his translator) where he talks about how his parents (who both played basketball) played because they were tall, not because they wanted to play. He said he also began to play because he was tall not because he wanted to.
I guess I spoke too soon - Yao had 33 pts on Saturday night.
