(http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatNBA?event_id=2894) During Butler's NBA live chat , one fan asked " Caron, In your opinion right now,who do you feel as a rookie has the best overall game and will take Rookie of the year. " Butler: "I haven't had a chance to watch anybody. But I'm a big fan of Drew Gooden, Jason Williams and all the guys since we came out of the same class. At this point it's a toss-up. " I am so surprized that he even didn't mentioned Yao. I want to say you are not in the same class of Yao's and Yao won't toss up with you. Another one "Who are the other rookies that you think will be stars in the future along with you?" Butler: "Everybody in my class. ." Again, Yao is already a star and popular now. He won't "become a star in future along with you". He is not in your class. Thinking " to make other teams pay for passing on you"? Well, certainly not the Rockets. Rudy won't give you a *** even he is totally drunk.
No need to be overreactive. There's nothing wrong with what Butler said. He didn't get many chances to watch Yao play. That's just a truth. Yao didn't come out of the same (college)class with him. That's also a truth. Everyone can speak his own opinions, let alone facts. We Yao fans can give Yao the highest props or worship him like GOD, but others don't have to. As long as they don't insult him or overlook simple facts, not kissing Yao's ass doesn't make them morons either.
I believe the Rockets play Miami this Monday so Caron will get a NICE up close look at Yao Ming. After the game we can read his thoughts about him. Chris
What's the point of even bringing this up? So what he didn't mention Yao? Everyone is entitle to their own opinion and not everyone is a Yao fan. Stop posting idiotic POSTS!!!! I think some of these idiotic posts should be deleted to keep it from bumping other good posts off the board!!! NOT ONLY THAT, HE'S CREATED TWO SAME THREAD ON THIS!!!
Whats more stupid.... A stupid thread, or the person who claims "What a stupid thread" yet is inclined to post in same said thread. Or if its a waste of server space, then what are you doing by adding "What a waste of server space".....subtracting space used???
butler doesn't get as many chances to see yao play, unlike us. i can gurantee you after the miami game he'll be full of praise over the dynasty. and please chill out a bit. this guy doesn't hate yao or anything.
I was talking to my mom a couple of days ago and she didn't mention Yao Ming in our conversaton once! Damn it!
Totally drunk? YOU are a P.O.S, yaodynasty. enough with the drunk references. You are a classless punk.
Obviously your mom is jealous of Yao. I can't believe that everybody doesn't talk about Yao at every single opportunity they get. What is wrong with you all!!
butler doesn't hate yao ming. he hates mike dunleavy jr. i think the warriors hate mike dunleavy jr too.
I don't think Yao will have a good game against Miami. We'll win, but Yao will cool off. I'm not sure he can work against someone strong/tough like Brian Grant.
it is not a BIG deal. isn't it? great players won't care other people said, and they just do their job.
If you really believed what you were saying, you wouldn't have posted. If it's stupid to respond to a stupid thread, then it's stupid to respond to the people who are responding.
I agree, DreamShake that was real stupid. wait a minute, now am I stupid for responding to the guy who was stupid for responding to a stupid thread?
