    As long as we continue "going fishing" early every year, we will never get anyone's respect and deservingly so.

    Stop your crap. Tell me what have nuggets achieved in the past couple years (they have more talents than Rockets)?

    Don't even bother. Yao's a 20+ pts, 10+ rbs, 50%+ fg, 80%+ ft, 2+ blk, 2+ ast player, for Pete's sake!! How many players in the L are in that club? Not many, I'll bet. If you don't respect that game, then there's nothing to talk about.

    I agree it is culture not racial. Not one of my black friends likes Yao, not one.
    However, I don’t consider these men to racist.
    I think Americans in general have a hard time understanding "where" Yao comes from.

    He said his coaches and culture says, never dunk on a man, it will demoralize him......Americans cant understand that....Heck, we would kick him while he was down there to win.

    It's a race thing for sure, and it has been from day one.

    You're misunderstanding what it means to dislike Yao for racial reasons. Just because they're not racist doesn't mean that they can't dislike Yao because he's Chinese.

    isn't race part of culture though? i don't understand why some are so scared or shy away from saying something was/is racial. that doesn't make someone a racist.

    i just hate the "political correct" stuff.

    many biased treatment on and off the court that yao has been suffering since he entered the nba and will suffer in the future, in my mind, are clearly race-based; so in my book, they are "racial".

    is barkley a racist (in a conventional sense)? i have no way to know. are some of his comments of yao based on racial difference? of course they are, if you ask me.

    Barkley is hilarious. Actually he respects Yao, but I think he just likes to cause trouble.

    But in fairness, Camby is playing awesome - Defensive player of the year numbers - and definitely see this as a way of charles paying his respects to camby.

    Is charles a racist? Sure....but so is everyone and i don't think he's picking on yao because of race, but rather becuase of how yao looks on the court.

    Chucky Cheese was so blind that he didn't realize Yao was double & triple teamed most of time while getting his 20+ points per game.

    who's gonna double team Camby???

    :D :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Ill admit... I voted for Amare a while back.. over Yao....

    but Camby?????


    please... every year... they do this... appoint someone the next best center...over Yao...


    this year... I was really interested in the match up between Howard and Yao...

    I think it is safe to say Yao still came out on top in the match up....
