http://sports.sohu.com/20050617/n225984845.shtml Yao made a joke: "I heard there was a case that the doctor operated on the wrong leg of the patient. So I marked my left leg with a black cross sign. I checked after the operation and felt released after finding out the doctor didn't make the same mistake."
if he is going to keep up with KG's early numbers he needs to get to work. Kevin Garnett's first 3 years in the NBA 95-96: 10.8 ppg, 6.30 rpg, 1.64 bpg, & 28.70 mpg 96-97: 17.0 ppg, 8.00 rpg, 2.12 bpg, & 38.90 mpg 97-98: 18.50 ppg, 9.60 rpg, 1.83 bpg, & 39.3 mpg Yao's first 3 years in the NBA 02-03: 13.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 1.79 bpg, & 29.0 mpg 03-04: 17.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 1.90 bpg, & 32.8 mpg 04-05: 18.3 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 2.00 bpg, & 30.6 mpg KG, year 4: 98-99: 20.8 ppg, 10.40 rpg, 1.77 bpg, 37.9 mpg yao needs to add 2 points, 2 rebounds and 8 minutes to his average per game. if he gets his minutes up to 38 then i am sure he can average an extra basket and a couple rebounds.
