Houston Rockets' all-Star Yao Ming of China has been ranked the top center of the NBA Fantasy Games.

The NBA Fantasy Games are online games hosted by nba.com, the official site of the National Basketball Association. Basketball fans from around the world can pick their favorite players, build teams with them and manage them.

Yao made a brilliant performance at the recent World Basketball Championships, averaging 25.3 points and 8.8 fouls against per game, the highest of the tournament.

"He is getting better. As long as he can avoid the injury bug, he will stand head and shoulders above the other centers in the league on the stat sheet as well as on the floor," the nba.com commented.

Yao averaged 22.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks 51.9 percent from the floor and a stellar 85.3 percent from the line last season.
