Entering the NBA was a difficult
experience for Yao, in his first few
games he averaged less than 5
points per game. The world
thought he was a bust because of
his poor stats and impression to
the prestigious league. The
contrast between the NBA and
CBA has a large difference. The
americans were stronger, more
aggressive and more dominant.
Worldwide before Yao Ming came to
the league and was recognized by the
world, everyone thought asians
couldn’t play basketball and that they
were ‘unfit’ to play or couldn’t play.
However Yao Ming changed that.
Asians became more skillful and
faster, the increase of popularity in
asia, increased the chance in
improvement because of competition
between peers and other players.
