Yao Ming, in his first 5 years, has become one of the most popular players in the NBA. His superior skills and his imposing 7' 5" height might be 2 reasons for his popularity.
He is shown here on his Rookie Card in the 2002-03 Topps Pristine (#51) Basketball set. This is also the Refractor version, limited and #'d 969/1899. And finally, it has been graded by Beckett - BGS 9.5 Gem Mint.
