(Houston) didn't get out of the first round of the playoffs.""
Did he forget that Shaq was guarding Yao? And that the Rockets faced the team that beat arguably the 2 best teams in the league?
Uh yes. Yao Ming is just 7'6 asian man with no talents whatsoever. The NBA and it's marketing ploys..
Oakley said: "(Bird) said (blacks) are the best athletes, right? We're the best boxer, the best golfer, the best (female) tennis player. The only thing we're not good at is riding horses." So today I learned that there are only 4 sports in the world.
Since we're talking about what black players are obviously better at, then is it ok to point out that the best chess players in the world are white or asian. In fact, out of over 400 GMs in chess, only one is black. Out of over 400. But it's wrong for me to point that out even though Oakley can spew his venom?
Chess became a sport? Just messing with ya .. . but hell where is all the OAK love. . . I mean folx LOVED him for his hardnose and his dissing the Francis. . now he gets none I though people LOvE how he JUST TOLD IT LIKE IT IS I guess it is all good until he dissed someone u like Rocket River
I wouldn't mind him dissing Yao if he was still on the team. That could help motivate Yao. However, I don't like that he's doing it after he's gone.
LOL, Oakley's entire tenure here was to criticize from the sidelines, this ain't nothign new. He should register for this BBS
How did he tell it like it is? By saying the Rockets lost to LA because of Yao Ming and Yao Ming alone? Was he the only player on the team? Well, SA and Minn lost to LA, let's go jump on the non-black guys on those teams!
