When Yao Ming entered the NBA in 2002, the hype and anticipation was through the roof. This 7'5" center with the support from a nation of over 1 billion people was a catalyst in causing the NBA to skyrocket in viewership during his rookie season. The first matchup between Yao and Shaquille O'Neal became one of the most watched regular season games in NBA history.
