Yao or Gasol? http://www.nba.com/preview2004/gmsurvey_international.html Gasol is voted as the 2nd best international player by GMs, while Yao could not get one signle vote!
I have made many stupid posts while under the influence but when people start threads like this they are asking to be kicked.
Who do you think, at this time, is better? I would say Yao plays better defence, but Gasol is more offensively gifted, and don't forget there are also 10% of GMs predicting Gasol will have a breakout season this year. they know more about the game than us, right?
Also 7% of GMs predict YM will have a breakout season this year. I am wondering how many GMs are there in NBA? I saw %4, %7, %8, %9 in the survey, these numbers just don't make any sense if there are only 30 GMs
Majority of those GM'S that vote never had any title on their belt, so that proves that majority of them are wrong! But in my opinion, Yao will be more explosive and dominant center in the league. Plus Gasol cries to much to the ref's
MemphisX might think Yao and Gasol are equivalent, but I'm sure Jerry West would do that trade in a heartbeat.
