[Chron]: Hakeem Olajuwon is conducting his first Big Man Camp

I couldn't have put any better myself! This is what I have been saying since Yao Ming joined the team.

 

You are way off base. If anything, Yao in China is a totally different animal. He's vocal, passionate, and a indisputable leader over there. Spending more time on CNT will only benefit the development of his "attitude" IMO.

 

Haweii

 

What realistic PF are you interested in Yetti?

I'm all for making the league adjust to a huge frontcourt.

Who do you have in mind?

I would love to bully this watered down guard league!

 

Hubie Brown said that Yao has had so many people telling him what to do, giving him advice, telling him to play this way or that way, do this or that, that basically it just confuses things too much.

His advice to Yao was

"Figure it out on your own big man, as all great players figure it out on their own. And when you do then you will know no one can stop you, just stop listening to other people's advice and just do your thing."

Now I'm not saying Hakeem or Kareem or Moses or someone like that should not give yao some help, because it would be great, Hakeem could refine his post moves a bit, kareem could show him that skyhook, Moses could help him with rebounding, etc.

But seeing Yao AFTER the toe surgery proved Hubie Brown is right.

The BEST thing for Yao is to do exactly what he is doing already.

He doesn't need help from anyone but himself to lead this team to a title and to become totally dominant. Just like Hakeem didn't either.

 

stay away from Moses, i was incredibly turned off to him when i met. hes a primadonna. i kinda of think he has had some closed minded criticisms of yao. hey mo not everyone is good because they play your game, some people will be good because of their differences. like yao and dream. but i do think yao needs a bit of the mo hard nose edge. he's getting there.

 

uppin this powerful thread, because patrick ewing is a b**** a$$ *****, and hakeem speaks the truth.

 

according to Yao, he is returning to Houston after the WBC. which for China, it looks like it could be ending in 4 days. if Dream is still in Houston, there just might be a chance for a meeting of the minds. one can only dream, no pun intended.
