When I visited Lakers' forums, I found more people dissing Yao than praising him. The thing is these guys diss Yao because they cannot get Yao. Deep inside their mind, they are thinking "if only we could get this guy..." but they won't admit it. The night we won Mavs, I was wondering what Cuban was thinking. Maybe "damn, this Yao is the real deal. Why was I so negative about him. How can I acquire him after all the things I said. oh well, there is no chance anyway, so no harm done."
Now I wonder how long it's going to take for a Clutch BBS member to see it there and post it here with some outrageous conspiracy about the Lakers trying to woo him.
