Force yao to take responsibility for the team! Force yao to lead(quote from Jeff),is it the right time?
He's got enough trouble getting himself up to play hard. It would be great if he did develop into a leader, though. I'm not holding my breath. Picture Yao getting into someone's face and chewing them out. Now think about how far that is from reality. Evan
How much more can you lead than going 13-15 for 27 points? I'm not sure what kind of "leading" Yao can do so his teammates won't shoot 23-61 from the field, 3-21 from 3 point line.
Maybe Rox will be a better team WITHOUT Yao and WITH Van Gundy. I think Yao would be happier on the Lakers where he would have little responsibilities except shoot the ball. With Rudy and Kobe there he would have little pressure. And unlink ghost town Toyota Center, the Staples Center is packed every night with screaming fans and Hollywood stars. Thats exactly the kind of atmosphere a young immature player like Yao wants!!
