Yao Ming also had a good perimeter shooting were in he can drain those shots easily especially when he is wide open. There were also some instances that Yao shoots a long fade away shot or shoots a three point shot and made it. Yao was merely unpredictable and he was also a good in both offense and defensive rebounds. Yao is one of those big defenders inside the painted area were in he could just easily block his opponents shots or layup. With his height it's just easy to chase those layups and jump shots and swipe them away. One of those elite guard players who find a way to avoid Yao mings block shots was Allen Iverson. Iverson would make a layup and use the glass to make the shot fall into the basket. But Iverson would not just use the glass like normal layups that other players do. Iverson would use to hit almost the tip of the glass just to bypass and avoid Yao Mings block.
