Is Yao considered a bust?

He's been very injury prone and hasn't made it out of the first round. His career sadly is probably over.

All time? I don't think so.

Hes one of the best in league when he is playing. He would probably be considered "better" than Dwight if he was an iron man, but with all the injuries he is probably locked into the second best slot.

When healthy he's easily a top 5 player in the league but certainly not a guy I'd give max money when his next contract comes up.

How the **** is he a bust?

1 Yao Ming
2 Jay Williams
3 Mike Dunleavy, Jr
4 Drew Gooden
5 Nikoloz Tskitishvili
6 Dajuan Wagner
7 Nenê Hilario
8 Chris Wilcox
9 Amar'e Stoudemire
10 Caron Butler

He's better than any of these players in the 2002 draft.
