    I don't want to get into this old argument again but that's not strictly true. The fact is that Dream went to Toronto for pride. Pride in this since was partially equated to not feeling appreciated because of pay. So there was money involved but it was not a matter of he wanted to make few extra dollars. It was because he felt that if someone valued him they would pay him more than he was offered. There is a difference.

    Now his bit of excessive pride might be something that isn't admirable just like greed isn't, but they aren't really the same thing.

    By the way, yao's inconsistent play was what got me to start this thread...I was going to call it Yao, where art thou? It rhymes and fits! But instead of insulting one center, i thought I'll praise another.
    Soon as we debate Hakeem and his play, Yao comes bulldozing down the lane and rocks the rim with authority. He sends a message that is loud and clear. "Houston, forget about Hakeem for I am the DREAM".
    Last night Yao was the DREAM.
