that's unreasonable, if you are from where yao is from then the very chance is you can't exactly know what you are talking about. but I have to agree with you on the point "yao has always been like this", I guess you mean yao is always that soft and mentally brittle.
I've always thought of yao as a gift and a curse. He's a gift because he very effective and productive when healthy. He's efficient, a hard worker, and seemingly a good guy. The curse is that he restricts your felxibility and style. Its kinda like the people complaining about bush living in crawford,tx. It seems like a great topic to talk about and be a part of, but the attention from the secret service and police during just a regular day is pretty annoying.
Oh,it's Ron that guard Millsap,not Yao. Yao had to guard Dwill,Okur,Boozer,Millsap,and anyone who drive to the paint,if he stop everyone,he may be fouled out in the 1st half
you're a fool if you don't think yao ming is tough. yao's one of the toughest players i've ever seen and certainly one of the toughest in the league. of course there's moments when he needs to be more aggressive/assertive, but don't get those confused.
