Can any country in Asia beat China?


The Philippines, S. Korea, Japan, Iran and Saudi Arabia are up to the task?

[RuffRyder]

That Yao Ming is good, so probably no.

[persiantiger]

Iran just dominated and won the west asian cup. Iran along with china and south korea form the top 3 teams in asia Japan and Jordan are pretty good too. I think in the future Iran might be able to surpass china check out these 2 players they might go to NBA:

Korea once beat China(with Yao Ming) in the Asian Cup(I think)...China still is the best in Asia but Korea is not far behind. :D

[NonStop4]

how tall is he?

If you mean Yao Ming(Top 5 center in NBA), his 7'6...(around 227 cm)

[persiantiger]

how tall is he?

One site says 7 "4" but another says 7 "8" :eek:

[persiantiger]

If you mean Yao Ming(Top 5 center in NBA), his 7'6...(around 227 cm)

I doubt Yao is 7 "6" but if thats true this guy must be 7 "8" then cause he is difinetly taller than yao.

[persiantiger]

BTW iv heard that some guy who plays in the turkish league is 8 "1" :eek:

[NonStop4]

Well...Yao Ming is either 7'5 or 7'6...His fuken giant..Taller than Shaq...
Ha Seung Jin(Korean Rookie Center in NBA) is 7'3.

i wasn't talkin bout Yao Ming, i live in the States, i could gurantee u i know more NBA (but i still don't watch it, but it's popular so i know things). And Yao is 7'6, he is way taller than Shaq and Shaq is 7'1.

That persian guy could be 7'8, i wouldn't have my doubts. And that turkish guy, is a 8'1? Jeez...

[NonStop4]

Hahaha you know more NBA than me?? I'm diehard NBA fan man...Go to Bigsoccer basketball forum because I post there often. :D

[persiantiger]

Where are all these persian and turkish freak shows coming from? It must be something they are putting in the kababs these days :p

dude, i was a season ticket holder for the Knicks 2 years ago, i've watched thousands of NBA games.

But i lost interest recently because NBA is getting really ridiculous with high school players and players switching teams too often.

Got into NBA when Jordan and the Bulls won the first Championship of their first 3-peat... And then lost the interest after they completed the 2nd 3-peat with Jordan more or less retiring and the Bulls disintegrating... NBA was never the same after that. Those were the Good Old Days...

I agree those where the good ol days man i remember as a kid i used to follow the NBA and the Bulls religiously im glad i got to see the likes of Jordan in his prime,Pipen,Magic Johnson,Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,Karl Malone and all the other greats before i lost all interest in the NBA .

[toohyper]

i was too young, but i would have love to watch the real NBA Dream team (Jordan, Malone, Barkley, Pippen, Stockton, Ewing, Robinson, Bird, Magic, Mullins, etc.) on the olympics because Now that was the greatest and the Real Dream team.

Man i use to love how Barkley played his game, he was a madman on the court.

[Hanjin]

oh hell yeah barkley played like a man possessed man i miss the good old days playing b-ball every single day and watching the games on tv and then fighting over who was the better player man i could of followed up on my dream becoming a pro basketballer but then i discovered the wonderful world of soccer but i was a few years too late should of followed up soccer as a kid but i refused to learn from an awesome player like my dad cause i was so madly into basketball.

[toohyper]

Barkley was really interesting though. His game was really fun to watch, he said a lot of stuff on the media that u wouldn't believe, and he had so many fights, Barkley and Laimbeer did not like each other at all...hehe...

[Hanjin]

haha yeah barkley was a bit of a hot headed player.
