    Chet Coppock and Ed Pinckney talk a little bit about Yao.

    Those of you that are familar with Chet know that he has a sore spot
    against Yao.

    I figured after Yao's 20, 30, and 18 point games that he'd give him
    some props.

    No. In fact, he still manages to find something negative about how
    LARGE Yao's legs are.

    Uh, if he had skinny legs he'd be Wang Zhi-Zhi! Or, God forbid, Manute
    Bol! :eek:

    Being top-heavy is bad for real tall players. You need a strong base!
    Earth to Chet!

    Former NBA center and current Heat broadcaster Ed Pinckney talks with Chet
    Coppock about the return of Shaquille O'Neal, Jerry West's decision to hire
    Hubie Brown and the development of Yao Ming.

    If Shaq had skinny body, he would be Manute Bol. If Jason Kidd was 5'3", he would be Mugsy Bogue. If I were 7'6", I would be another Shawn Bradley (I am skinny like Bradley by the way) and making millions each year. What's his point?

    He's pointing out that Yao is NOT perfect because he should
    have cut-legs and not tree-trunk legs. He's trying to find something
    bad to say about Yao, basically.

    It's almost like he's confusing "thick-and-strong" with "fat-and-slow" :rolleyes:

    Remember, Chet is a Knick fan.

    This is the classic...

    Ok, I f*cked up when I said it was a stupid #1 pick. Ok, I f*cked up when I said the guy would be a bust. Ok, the guy is good. Ok, I don't really want to eat my words, so what do I say? Hmmmmm...

    I know...

    The guys legs aren't built normal. I don't know how they do it in China, but in the US we have a certain way basketball players' legs are supposed to look and that ain't it. Therefore, he will suck after 40 games. Chet, aren't you tired of eating your predictions for breakfast?

    First off, this guy spends a little too much time looking at the legs of NBA players...not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

    Second, blah, blah, blah, blah, freakin' blah. I guess the moron has to have something witty and cynical to say. God forbid he admits he might have been wrong.

    coppick isn't near as bad as bob kemp. I swear that man just hated the city of houston, and everything associated with it, he would simply make vicious remarks about anyone associated with the rockets (francis specifically) and the astros (biggio and bagwell) and about the city of houston itself.

    Why on earth would anyone think that Shaq weights anything less than 400 pounds. Charles Barkley weights about 330 pounds and Shaq is at least 8 inches taller. He's every bit as wide as Charles.

    I couldv'e sworn that COCKPRICK (Coppock) was still on weeknights at 10 p.m. even after 610 picked up ESPN radio. Please, please, please someone tell me that he got $hit canned for his ass-clown remarks about Yao.

    I know it's a long shot, but hey it never hurts to dream.

    the next Jordan! :D
