Chronicles: Honeymoon over, Yao absorbs undue malice

Bill Walton is one of the reasons why Yao's getting ridiculed so badly now. Remember Walton is the one that said Yao was gonna change the way the game is played. That's setting the bar pretty high I would say.

 

Q: Do you have any other favorite sports activities?

YAO: "I like swimming."

Q: Anything else?

YAO: "Isn’t that tiring enough?"


LMAO

 

I hate it when idiots like Bay-less [sic] stupidly assume that Yao votes are all or mostly internet votes. Two years ago, Yao beat Shaq in the paper votes count yet people forget that so quickly.

Yao is loved by fans here in the USA and around the world - and they voted strongly for him over the internet and in participating NBA, NBDL arenas and other paper ballot outlets.

Jeeez Bay-less, make sense for once.

 

Especially when Shaq actually received more internet votes last year than Yao:
