It was against NO. I wondered why he left, then he played against the Bulls. If this is true I blame the trainer
No one is untouchable in this league, not even Yao.... it is business after all. If Lakers wanted to trade Kobe for Yao, or Lebron for Yao do you think Morey would have said no? It's what you can get thats all. But after this latest injury, his stock will definitely tank.... shucks. I feel bad for Yao.
What's wrong with you. I was talking about the news I read 2 days ago. And even Yao himself didnt expect that.
Well it wasnt like Ilgauskas was gonna be the Next Big anything. He just became his regular healthier self. But yeah thats what I meant when i said earlier "Rik Smits" like, being productive but in limited minutes played
Because it is a business, Yao is untouchable. Because there are inroads being made for the Houston Rockets in China, Yao is untouchable. Because role players for the Rockets land endorsement deals in China simply because they play alongside Yao, Yao is untouchable. If it were merely about hoops, he would not be untouchable. It's not merely about hoops. It's about business.
yeah the league is getting smaller, but look at the champions from 2000-2006 3 times for SA, 2times for Lakers, 1 time for MIA and DET, I still believe a GREAT big mam is essential for champion
Yea, but what happens when Yao is out of the league? All the sponsors and shoe deals are gone. You think Peak shoes cares about Aaron Brooks and Carl Landry or the Rockets of the future?
Why god Why?!? How can this happen? This kills me man. Look for the team morale to go way down after this. If we went deep into the play-offs Yao would have been playing until June. The Olympics start in August. So China probably wouldnt like the idea of Houston going deep into the play-offs...
If Yao was already suffering from that injury during the All Star game, I wonder how long has he had that injury from?
