    What do you think Yao's best play so far in his brief NBA career?

    I'm pretty sure his first 3 pointer was against the Lakers. Maybe I'm wrong

    I think we need to see a clip of each to be able to cast an informed vote. :)

    That slap pass was actually to Moochie Norris, iirc.

    Exactly! It looks like more aggressive, which is what all of us want Yao to do.:cool:

    The slap pass to Francis is awfully nice, but this move on SAR is simply to sick to be #2.

    If Yao were a showcase like Webber on passing, Francis on dribbling and Ricky Davis on dunking, he will do alot more amazing stuff.

    Gotta go with his behind the back dribble/crossover for a breakaway dunk vs Blazers, just because of his size

    I loved his no look drop pass behind him to the cutter for the easy layup. That play needs to comeback.

    Other than the behind the back in last game, that is definately my most memorable.

    Calvin Murphy added to that with his hysterics. I got it on tape somewhere..........great stuff. :D

    I'll go with the three blocks. That was the first Shaq-Yao matchup. I was there in person. It meant that Yao was the real deal.

    However, the behind the back dribble and dunk was fantastic and a close second. Almost even better was to watch the Rocket's bench go nuts when it happened.

    How about that alley-oop to Steve during last year's ASG? I mean, even though it wasn't a real game... I thought that was freaking impressive passing skill....

    Who wouldn't have gone nut after seeing a 7'6" make a move like that? :)

    His play last night was the best, but the slap pass to francis was just as great in his rookie year vs the kings.

    My vote is the 3 blocks against Shaq in the 1st 6 minutes of their first game. The excitement building up to that game and the pure adreneline of the moment was awsome!!!

    2nd is the open court behind the back dribble. A 7'6" guy doing that is sick.

    3rd is the slap pass to Stevo. Great pass but doesn't live up to the other two, IMO.
