Go easy on him, guys. It's his 7th post since 2009. There must be some crazy lag on his internet connection. Like months between pings. So this post is actually coming to us from 2009 but only just arriving. Hence the reason why it makes no sense. His next and 8th post will be one about the 1yr anniversary of Obama's presidency.
This is just a poorly disguised Howard bashing thread. When you're trying to compare Howard with one of the best (and most loved) centers in recent history..it helps to draw the other Howard haters in.
They seemed to have all left when he retired. At the time there were a bunch of trolls posting bad stuff about him every day. Made the forum quite unbearable after a loss.
Probably no one actually hates Yao but plenty of people wanted him gone and were happy when he retired, like Josh Innes for example. When he first heard the news he said "this is great news for the Rockets". He expressed no sympathy for Yao. Hey Josh - great news would have been that they were increasing his minutes and expected a full recovery. What a jacka**. Anyway if the point of the thread is that Yao was better than Howard then I agree. He could also shoot free throws
