    so is Yao human or dancer? :D
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LOLJy5HoFDQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LOLJy5HoFDQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    I did my best to notice
    when the call came down the line
    up to the platform of surrender
    I was brought but I was kind
    and sometimes I get nervous
    when I see an open door

    close your eyes, clear your heart

    cut the cord
    are we human or are we dancer
    my sign is vital, my hands are cold
    and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
    are we human or are we dancer

    pay my respects to grace and virtue
    send my condolences to good
    give my regards to soul and romance
    they always did the best they could
    and so long to devotion, you taught me everything I know
    wave good bye, wish me well

    you gotta let me go
    are we human or are we dancer
    my sign is vital, my hands are cold
    and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
    are we human or are we dancer

    will your system be alright
    when you dream of home tonight
    there is no message were receiving
    let me know is your heart still beating

    are we human or are we dancer
    my sign is vital, my hands are cold
    and I'm on my knees looking for the answer

    you've gotta let me know
    are we human or are we dancer
    my sign is vital, my hands are cold
    and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
    are we human
    or are we dancer

    are we human or are we dancer

    are we human or are we dancer

    Yao has never played well in All-Star game. It is a game where you relax and have fun....that's not Yao's game. He play better when they take the game seriously.

    I guess Joe Johnson shouldn't play the next all-star game if he gets put in it.

    Don't forget the blocked shot against, the -28 +/- rating and that he played almost 22 minutes.

    That may very well be the worst individual statistical performance in AS game history. Not that it matters. He's a great player.

    I remembered yao threw a couple alley-oops to francis and francis returned the favour to yao during yao 1st or 2nd all-star appearance. So the conclusion is, Yao can play in the all-star game just that he needs someone he comfortable with!

    I think he scored 18 points or something in his second one.

    If you arent comfortable with the top 3 PGs in the league, maybe you arent really an all star.

    That's quite true.

    Nearly no player in the West would like to pass the ball to him. If they do pass, maybe Yao can get 20+. It's not so tough for him.

    And he cannot catch up with the speed in the game, not like Rockets players would slow down and pass the ball to him.

    All-star game's not his style, I'm afraid.

    Oh come on... he did what he was supposed to do play a few minutes, not take chances (other than going on the floor for the ball against Dwight... DON'T do that again Yao) and wave his hand - thank you for playing.

    I would rather he didn't work all that hard at the All Stars and just gets it done for the Rockets.

    His is a refined game. All Stars is a street game played indoors.

    Yao deserved his 10-12 minutes and all we want him to do is tip his hat and wave to the crowd. :)

    I did want him to step out and take a three though!!

    Yao's not faster than Shaq? I'm surprise. Did you see how slow shaq was?
    I think Yao's just not comfortable out there and afraid to make mistake. He probably told the coach they play him for 10min.

    I agree. I like Yao but he's just embarrassing himself there. 7 times in a row, very unproductive, not entertaining.

    It was said on the broadcast that Yao specifically requested only to play the first few minutes of each half. He probably only played because it would be a bit rude to the fans to sit out comepletely.

    Besides, as many have already said, this just isn't his style of game. No one wants to see a big man backing up and shooting fadeaways and jump hooks in an All-Star game.
