Opinion

yao is nothing like kg...both play totally different games. IMO kg>yao...Ya I said it now go ahead and flame me

 

i guess if Yao decided to start b**** flailing his arms in the air and chest pumping after every play it would make him a better player

 

I hate KG...the guy used to be my favorite player when he was in Minny, but once he went to the Celts I started hating him for the exact reasons u just stated, but that does not change how good of a NBA BASKETBALL PLAYER he is

 

You don't like KG cause your jealous of his success and cause they beat the rockets. I'll admit, I also dont like KG as much as I use to.

But lets be honest, we all know we would LOVE to see Yao show some emotion and bang his chest like hes a freakin G. It would motivate him, the team, and the crowd.

 

KG is a better defensive player than Yao. But Yao is more dominant in the offensive end. He might be slower than KG but Yao has better footwork and moves.

 

i would disagree. i think with t-mac they would have still won

 

disagree...stern's plan + boston's 3 party = 'ship

so like JVGFAN said...T-Mac would've still won

 

I don't mean to be a jerk but what facts or evidence do you have to back this claim up? All you're doing is stating a left field opinion for no reason. I could state my opinion that MJ could have won 15 titles if he didn't drink Gaterade. My claim has about as much validity as your's.

 

I used to think Pierce was better. He might be. Pierce is tougher, more aggressive. With that said... Celts could win 70 (in this era) with a healthy McGrady over pierce.

 

I think Yao is the better offensive player, but KG is a bit better defensively but neither is superior over the other at either end so i say its a tie. Both off share impact on either ends. KG is quicker giving him the edge on defense, Yao is taller and more efficient offensively.

 

Saying Yao doesn't show that much emotion because he is Asian is so sterotypical. If that's the case why isn't Tim Duncan or any other blacks players on the Spurs showing any emotion all those times they won championships? What was up with Robert Parish he looked darn near dead running up and down the court with that Celtic uniform winning championships. Yao is better than KG now but overall KG is better in his prime than Yao has ever been in the NBA bottom line. KG was once compared to Hakeem kinda similiar to Kobe being compared to Jordan.

 

Pierce was clutch when he needed to be, though... Tmac hasn't been in those circumstances under that pressure yet.

 

if the question is pierce over tmac... i'd take pierce.

 

I am afraid I have to agree, lik not kidding at all

At least tat his opponents and da refs will respect and fear him more

 

Not sure about the jealousy part, besides, I think the Boston management should be the one being congratulated for getting Thibs and those 3 superstars together.

Now as for Yao showing emotion, hell yeah we'd like to see Yao screm and bang his chest every now and then. However, even while Yao doesn't show emotion he's still a better player than KG. Yao changes the way the opposition plays. Comparing Yao's defense with KG is like comparing Shaq (prime) to Bosh. As for offense, Yao is just as capable as KG at scoring.. they just have different styles and ways of scoring, that's all.

 

Pierce and KG are superstars on court.
Yao and TMAC are superstars on paper.

the difference is huge.

 

how good was pierce before KG and Ray Allen came aboard? they've been a bottom dwelling team in the EAST for the last several years. he couldn't even get them to the playoffs before all the new talent arrived.

the difference isn't huge.
