Yao outrebounded Camby and outscored him in both matchups. I guess sometimes you can have no idea what you are talking about regardless of whether you are getting paid to say it or not.

 

We might be talking about the same, but I would rather say it is a cultural thing.
For Barkley, Yao is always outside the circle. It is not about right or wrong, just the way it is...

 

Yao will never get his due. I have a feeling even if the Rockets win a championship with Yao, they will credit to T-Mac or whoever we may have paired with Yao. It's sad really. It took Yao 5 years to even get a mention as one of the best centers in the league and sometimes be called "dominant". It took Andrew Bynum a few weeks of consistent play to earn the same accolades. You know, I really wouldn't be surprised if race really did play a part in this. Look at Kaman, he's having an awesome season, arguably better than Camby's and he gets little or no mention either.

 

As a Chinese, I have something different to say...
I don't think Barkley hates Yao, he just ignores him...The reason being is because, as I said in my previous post, Yao is always outside the circle for Barkley. It is not racial thing, it is cultural thing...Again, it is understandable IMHO.

 

I don't buy that bs. He complains about the players getting voted in because he thinks it's a popularity contest, then he turns around and votes for his favorite players, not the most deserving.

Chris Kaman deserves it more than Camby at this point.

 

Yeah, what the hell is up with these bozos saying Bynum would be an all-star if he hadn't got hurt? Yao had similar numbers his rookie year and all hell broke loose when he was an all-star. I wonder if Bynum only averages 17 ppg and 9 rpg next year if people will call him soft, or a disappointment. I wonder if he averages 25 and 9 if he'll make 2nd team all-nba behind a guy averaging 20 and 9.

 

Ok, so what if Yao were white?

 

What a joke! But I DON'T BLAME HIM after he was forced to humiliate himself with the ass kissing incident because he made a wrong prediction on Yao. That incident will haunt him for life, for the history of NBA. His hate is understandable.

 

Yeah well I think Clyde should replace Charles on TNT.

that makes as much sense as what he said about Yao.

 

Playing the race card is soooo 199.. uhh which year was O.J Simpsons famous Bronco chase again?

The all star game is about voting for your favorite players. Just look at how many people voted for Yi to be in the All star game. He was only trailing Paul Pierce by a bit.

Kaman is on a last place team. Besides Barkely has sported a Dirk jersey before and he loves Manu Ginobili.

 

He is white...

 

Stein is a Rocket hater anyways... read any of his articles about the Rox. He is also a Mavpricks homer.

 

Because tmac didn't make it to the all star game, I'd rather want Yao to be absent too.
I'm so pissed right now, either both of them or none of them

 

Yao looks lighter than Scola when I went to the Toronto game last month. But what if Yao was Indian??? both kinds.

Anyways.. I used to think Barkley and co at TNT was fine and funny for a while for saying silly outlandish things, but that ***** isn't cute anymore. It got old pretty damn quick. I don't stopped seeing the entertainment factor in them after the second year Chuck was there. Since then all I see is low-IQ basketball.

 

I hope Yao hears that quote. The last time something like this popped up was when Dampier said he was the best center not named Shaq and Yao dropped about 30 on his dumb a@@ the next time they played. The big guy has quiet pride. As far as Charles' comments go - stupid people make stupid comments. He is still sore about having to kiss Kenny's backside.

 

Wow, that makes him as smart as Charles. Very sad for Marc.

 

Thank you Mr. "Washed-up-athlete-who-gets-paid-a-lot-to-say-controversial-sports-opinions" guy.

 

One week ago I might have had the same opinion. But right now Yao is playing like a beast.

How many times you see the name Camby? and how many times you see the name Yao Ming?

Case closed.

 

What is wrong with these people, they clearly don't have a freakin clue of whats' going on. Yao was just announced player of the week, he dominated camby the last meeting fouling him out.
