Back to Yao, first you guys say he's not Dream and now he's not MLK? What? You can't think of any other people that have helped the world besides MLK, Ali and Malcom X? How much has Michael Jordan done since he has existed as such a huge figure in sports?At least he's not giving to terrorist charities like Dream did. I hope he didn't mean to but dude talk about RESEARCH. Ghandi and Mother Theresa have done more to help people than any of the people you have referred to, they helped people all over the world!People of all colors, all religion and all nationalities. I think you guys are trying to antagonize the Chinese fans here. Why? You really expect everyone to say you are always right and call you the best rocket fans? Personally, from what I have observed as an American born rocket fan, is that for the short amount of time I have been on this site, I feel some carefully orchestrate their posts to attack others on a more sinister level. Give it a break! Rockets have not won a ring since clutch city.net has existed....is that clutch city karma I smell due to lack of acceptance? Yao has given hope to a billion people that no boundaries can hold back a humans unique abilities and that there is purpose in life and rewards for working hard and giving back comes in many different forms. He is bigger than the rockets like it or not.But he is ours and so therefore are his fans. We go from there is no loyalty in sports to I'm more loyal to the rockets than you everyday. Whats wrong with people not knowing all of the history of the rockets.....whats wrong with new fans that didn't watch Dream or Elvin Hayes? This is a rockets site isn't it? there are people on this site that like SF3 because they live in Maryland and such isn't there? I feel a big portion of defending Yao on this site is that some here have never felt welcomed and defending Yao is an extension to that feeling. If I have misspoken I am sorry, but I call it the way I see it and I don't accidentaly see what I call. You guys still can't even answer the first team that drafted Pat Riley?

You're more loyal to Rockets than many others, you know more about Rockets, as you have showed off and used it to abuse other posters, time after time. That makes me sick. Frankly, what's your purpose? Do you want ... Ah, forget it, you're not clutch crew, whatever you want doesn't really matter. You also don't 'pay my diesel bill'. So, go ahead, keep offending.
The main thing I would like to see a lot less of when it comes to Yao is him being knocked to the ground. I'd like to see him better withstand a lot of the pushing and elbowing that goes on. When Yao goes to the floor on offense or defense, it creates liabilities. It's two-fold on offense, because it a.) Takes him out of the play for any number of seconds and b.) It ruins the overall flow of the offense.
Add this one to that list Cstyle: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IebhPrKQGzs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IebhPrKQGzs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
That was a good example of an intimidating move.Yao needs to do that more often. It's harder to that with all of the double and triple teaming,but that was fun. The technical was nonsensical IMO.
