Talking on the most recent episode of the All The Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Mobley mirrored on his time with Yao in Houston and expressed that the 7-foot-6 heart was greater than only a dominant submit scorer. “What individuals don’t perceive about Yao. He might go the ball, like Joker, he might’ve achieved that,” Mobley mentioned. “It’s simply the offense didn’t. Say we might’ve had Rick Adelman, for a reality, you’d’ve seen extra of Yao Ming. Like that Chris Webber, that Vlade Divac, Brad Miller kind of passing. He had all of it.” -via Clutch Factors / July 3, 2025
