Nice To Meet Yao: O'Neal and Yao met for the first time on Jan. 17, 2003. Despite six blocked shots by Yao, Shaq appeared dominant, prompting Yao to remark through an interpreter following the game, "He's like a truck. I've never encountered someone that strong before. He's not crafty, it's just strength. It wore me out playing him."
