Point. Set. Match. LakerMania has a point. Why do people here cry about how much attention LA and Kobe get, when Yao is getting twice the attention, in spite of not doing THAT much on the floor? I love Yao, but he hasn't done anything on the floor to warrant 1/4th the attention that is drawn to him. Not Yao's fault of course, it's the media. The same thing can be said for Kobe and Shaq. It's not like Kobe calls up reporters and sets up press conferences to announce what clothes he'll wear next Wednesday.
LMOA. you do know they came the same year, and Kobe was a high school kid? if you say a player is not good, please, try to know a little about him next time
