Yao Ming: Basketball's Big Man

by Jeff Young

Yao Ming is one of the biggest men to ever play in the NBA. Yet, when he was drafted out of China in 2002, many scouts openly questioned whether the big center would ever develop the strength and tenacity to make it in the pros. Yao Ming disproved all of his critics by holding his own against the NBA's biggest and best, including Shaquille O'Neal. In this biography, author Jeff Young sheds light on the life and career of this amazing athlete.
