    Penny hardaway. The league's elite point guard during the mid nineties to late nineties. What if de didnt blow up his knees? He didn't have those injuries in the first place. Does people still recognize the likes of kobe and tmac, i mean this guy averaged 22 ppg, 7 apg, 6 rpg a steal and a blck shot. Plus he is a clutch player too like kobe. Sad sad story. Just like David Thompson, Ralph Sampson, now Grant Hill. What if Hakeem played with Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler? What if magic is only 6'1, what if jordan is 7'5 and 300 pounds, what if yao ming is not an asian, what if rockets beat the sonics in 93?

    i don't know what you mean by this, but it can easily be construed to be a racist-ass comment. thats fine if you think there is a hierarchy of races, and that it defines your physical and mental abilities, but it would probably be appreciated by some if you did not express these views on the forum.

    if he wasn't asian, then people would be wondering why his parents gave him an chinese name. duh

    Haha, you guys are being harsh today. Maybe he just meant what would be the differences as far as the medias and fans' perception and doubting him being the first successful Chinese NBA player. I don't really doubt that if Yao were an American with his skills, he'd have been treated differently. It's not racism really.
    Just doubt in the face of the unknown.

    But, yeah, rough post. I can empathize remembering how I got hammered for my first thread.

    "What does he MEAN "You people"?"

    Injuries did hamper Penny, but I think that even in his prime, he grew bigger than his game. There is a reason few fans, especially in Orlando, have had any sympathy for him.

    The only "racist-ass" would be you. Granted this thead has no point, but no need to make it a racist thing.

    Ever heard of the saying, "the one the smelt it, dealt it? Maybe you need to handle your own racist issues and not throw out hollow accusations.

    I think nyquil was just trying to point out that it could be interpreted as a racist comment by some overly sensitive people.

    yea, i dont get why people are so trigger happy when it comes to bashing other peoples' posts. Take it easy.

    Anyway...to continue on...what if I did not have that curry last night...I wouldn't be doing the Kobe 'toilet' pose this morning.

    That has got to be the dumbest assed pose I've ever seen. What a fool.

    I realize that English probably isn't your native language, but I have no idea what you're trying to say. Whatever, it's all good. ;)

    Hi, English language professor, I mean there is nothing wrong in nyquil82 post and also agree with what you've post that "I think nyquil was just trying to point out ...... " ;)
