Can we do away with this junk. What are exactly Yao's Skill's? How is the system hindering him? How is the system contribute to his perenial poor conditioning and stamina level? How does the system stop him from making 2 feet layups or slam dunks? How does the system make 6-7 and 6-8 players block his shots? How does the system make him passive when T-Mac is in the game? How does the the system cause him to not move his legs properly on defense? How does the system force to not make 15 - 17 foot jumpers? How has the system prevented him from becoming a dominant defender and rebounder? Can someone explain some of these things to me? Has any player in this franchise ever been made to feel comfortable more than Yao has enjoyed? Has any player been more pampered?
You're such a drama queen... "Ohh....we've given up SOOOO much for Yao. Oooohhh, he doesn't appreciate any of it. Oooooh, he's taking everything we've sacrificed for granted. Oh, we're the victims here." How has Les pampered Yao more than any other person perceived to be a franchise player? He's worked his ass off trying to live up to everyone's expectations. Is it his fault that he just might not be capable ? Now that he hasn't measured up, you're accusing him of taking advantage of all the "services" we've given him. This isn't Shawn Kemp or Erick Dampier we're talking about. He didn't wait for his fat paycheck and then decided to stop working altogether. Give me a freakin' break.
Maybe explode is the wrong word. All I'm saying is that there are times when he should take up the ball strong, but instead fades away from contact and ends up throwing up an ugly shot (usually that little fadeaway hook). On a related note, is anybody else surprised at how terrible a finisher Stro is when he's not dunking?
