Stop comparing Zhou Qi To Yao Ming

Breaking news courtesy of every basketball analyst, NBA broadcaster and Twitter user in Las Vegas, Zhou Qi and Yao Ming are both Chinese seven footers.

We’ve learned two things in Las Vegas so far: A cursory search of TMZ shows James Harden can celebrate a new contract discreetly and secondly the comparison between Zhou and Yao can only be taken at face value, or based on nationality, or height.

The Rockets rookie is a rough draft who doesn’t look prepared to do more than provide spot minutes in the upcoming season.
