No worry. He will lose the extra weight in the summer sun and back to top form by the time the training camp starts.

Damn, I really miss him. I wish he is still playing with Rockets, but injury just got in his way. I wish him the best and good luck in his future. I hope he comes to Houston more often.

I knew exactly the thread on our forums he was referring to. A user had reacted prematurely to T-Will’s rough first half against the Spurs only to get clowned by the community for the rest of the game as Williams hit 7 of his last 9 shots in the second half.

i miss the basketball yao ming. i mean i like the cause and social work etc but, he always had class. id just rather have him with that class in those post game interviews etc. obviously he's not coming back i dont want him too either but it's like this is a whole new different person with any part of basketball washed out of him completely :/

I thought that The League taught us that only black guys can be "class acts". Latinos are "firecrackers", and white players are "gym rats". What does that leave for asians... glue guys, maybe?
