    You are having a laugh, aren't you?

    Where did Hakeem and Malone ever teach Yao? They actually proposed it in the papers, but as far as I know, our great coach rejected them, no?

    And what did the likes of Francis and Mobley help Yao? Not passing the ball to him? Asking him to play more 1-on-1? Na, lol.

    Yao said in his interview that he learnt no new skills, technique and tactics in the NBA and he just used his old skills he learnt in the CBA. Fact.

    I don't see any jealously in wanting him to fail. Heck, I wouldn't mind failing myself given the same opportunity. I'd just jet down to the Carribean and chill for the rest of my life on that fat contract. Screw all that having to show up for practice and actually play nonsense.

    I know some people have problems with the NBA drafting HS kids. I don't. In fact, I am for drafting kids even earlier and put them in a farm league to develop them (and pay them).

    Yes, my beef is more on the media-commercial-endorsement thing. I know it's not going to be changed any time soon. And it doesn't really affect me personally. But I think the system is unfair and unjust. I believe we have the moral obligation to at least hope that it fails if we feel that it's wrong.

    Lebron James' Throwback Jersey, $600 dollars
    Lebron James' Hummer, $50,000
    Lebron James' 7-year contract with Nike, $90,000,000


    Seeing heads roll at Nike marketing when LeBron busts....

    PRICELESS.

    I would have voted no except for the future of the NBA stuff. Lebron James is not the future of the NBA... at least I hope not.
