Let me translate for the rockets fans reading. Yao to Chinese basketball is like Dream to the Rockets from 87 to 92. Without him we totally sucked. So even though the Rockets will be fine without Yao china will suck without him but they need us rockets fans to pay for their stuff so they allow him to play here.
I am really sick seeing this kind of message over and over. How about US soccer team? how about this fix?
Agreed! Some Chinese officials are eager to have some small wins to tout as the shining points of their political careers. I hate them! Yao is a great person. He won't said no to his national duties. But those b*stard officials should be exposed and bashed.
We should all stop throwing around blame. Yao probably should be able to rest in the offseason Yao probably should be playing less minutes regardless of his offseason activities Both things probably contributed to the stress fracture However, Yao may have had this injury even if he played less minutes and rested in the offseason
if i had 13 mil, i wouldnt rent a car...lol i dont know what toy thing your referring too i see both sides of the argument here, i felt the whole season we overplayed him but at the same time it doesnt help that he has to play in meaningless tournaments over the summers past, whos to blame? who cares
Yao BARELY played for CNT for last two year. go found out youself before you make that statement! u have no idea of wut u talkin about
that's suppose to be a metaphor... im sorry if that's something beyond ur intelligence of understanding...
I'm from China,I also hope that Yao will not take part in Olympic!~ In the majority of Chinese basketball fans,NBA is much more important than Olympic basketball games~
give u a break? what break? even if u'r payin him 15mil, u still got wut u paid for, compare to all the so called "superstars", Yao's salary isn't even close to theirs, besides Yao don't get 15 mil a yr.. and wut about all that revenue he helped gained, it got to be AT LEAST 5,6X for what NBA payin him for, go confirm this w/ Rocket's owner if u don't believe. its ridiculous that u think what i said is ridiculous...
No wonder the winner of the NBA final is called "World Champion". Actually it has become an international joke to see that a country who calls its league winner "World Champion" has been thrashed in four international tournaments in a row. America is definitely not the worst country in the world. Actually my father went to America last year and marvelled at the fact that America is really superior in so many ways. But America is an arrogant country not because it is powerful but because exceptionalism.
I guess you don't realize that you're brainwashed by America's corporate media. Go to travel to other countries to know the world better.
Playing a few games in summer doesn't hurt that much. Playing 37 minutes per NBA game with all kinds of bad calls on him hurts too much.
he's getting paid millions to play in the NBA and living the lifestyle 99.9999999% of the world does not even remotely come to understand. so 37 minutes a game shouldn't be a complaint. if he wants to play for the NBA, then use the summer to freshen himself up, make himself stronger to withstand the grind of an NBA season. everybody knows the NBA takes a toll on your body physically and mentally. that's why you get paid millions of dollars.
They get millions of dollars because they bring more to bosses like les and stern, not because "he NBA takes a toll on your body physically and mentally." yao's 7-6 and 310 lbs. It is obvious that 37 minutes per game is too much for him. Yao is special. nobody ever with this height had played this well. It's Rox decision in how to use him. I still don't see a few games in summer would cause such a serious injury. He didn't get injured until recently. Had he taken a rest in summer (he basically had the rest last summer), it would just take a few more games to bring him down.
Who is a talent at the beginning or better than anyothers ? people need to practise or learn for further develop ,500 years ago ,there's no american !
