Chicago Bulls (3013-3023)
At a Glance
- Abandoned in the Magic Kingdom, never given the right pieces in Chicago... Yao remains one of the biggest "what if"s in 6.0 history. A knock-down shooting big with strong defense and low TOs, he made a huge impact on lowly teams, but never had the chance to really star for a contender. One of the most efficient scorers the league has ever seen.
- #5 all-time in P/TSA (#6 all-time in FT% among bigs)
- 18th in career Win Shares (147.3) and a stellar (20th all-time) .207 WS/48
- Top 35 in scoring, Top 50 in FG made, Top 15 in FT made, Top 30 in total rebounds, Top 15 in blocks, and Top 50 in minutes played.
