My boyhood playground was named after him:

Mike Miley. Don't know much about him other than my old man played against him growing up.

Yao Ming because he has shown he can be great; however, he is getting killed by injuries and has only started 475 games (less than 6 seasons worth of games).

Tim Ducan has started 981 games.
Shaq has started 1164 games.

Yeah I remember this guy. He gets credited with changing the draft game up when he came out. One of the first rookies to sign for a million without playing a major league game.
