The ex-Houston coach had a lot to say about his former player in advance of this Saturday's induction.
This Saturday, September 10, 2016, former Houston Rocket and international superstar Yao Ming will take his rightful place alongside other legends of the game in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
While some may question Yao's worthiness, those in the know recognize that for his entire career, Yao was either the second best center on the planet (next to an in-his-prime Shaquille O'Neal) or the best center on the planet, once Shaq began to slow and Yao entered his prime.
