Oh... the Suns fans are just bitter!

"As much as i hate the Lakers and Shaq he is by far the best center even now being beat up, Yao is not a dominant player and ive got questions if he will ever be more than a decent player-no defense, soft, not esp fast..etc... "

Well we all say nice things about Stoudemire here. On the other hand their fans just have as little class as their cry baby player (Marbury)!

 

OMG... Mavs fans are even more bitter and they are actually posted post on the Dallas official site. Everyone please stuff that guy's e-mail NOW!!!!!

Oh... Mark Cuban must still be bitter too and allows those things on his site. Stuff his e-mail as well NOW!!!!!

Let’s face it. Yao Ming is awful. Bad. The best he’ll ever be is all right. In five years, his peak, he’ll average 15 points a game, 6 rebounds a game, and if I made a 7’6” clay statue, it would put up better numbers than that. If the season ended today, he’d probably be somewhere between 6th and 10th in Rookie Of The Year Voting (not voted by the fans), but still, nonetheless, he leads the league in fan All-Star voting. The top 5 in All- Star voting start in each conference, making Yao Ming, who sometimes doesn’t even start for the Rockets, start in the All-Star game. You’re probably thinking, “Are you serious?”

As Ricky Ricardo used to say, “Lucy, you’ve goss some ‘splainin’ to do.” You’re right about that, but don’t call me Lucy. I’ve been called an idiot to much worse than that, got a good geography lesson (The Republic of China and China are not the same), have been told to “just stick to the Mavs” and got a few agreements about my Yao Ming column. Before you scream at me, give me a chance to prove my point, if you’ve already jumped the gun and e-mailed me, still, hear me out. Here’s why I think Yao Ming is awful.

Let’s answer a few questions:
Who do I think I am making fun of Yao Ming?
I think I’m me. Yao Ming isn’t a big bad monster and he’s not going to bite my head off if I make fun of him. I personally don’t think he’s very good, so I expressed my opinion about him. It’s becoming apparent that some Yao fans are extremely defensive and watch each other's backs, which is extremely mafia-like. I had no idea what I was getting into when I wrote one bad paragraph about him, but I’m very glad I did it. Why? Well, because I believe what I’m saying.

You don’t think Yao Ming is Rookie Of The Year. How could you possibly think that?
Well, Amare Stoudemire, Caron Butler, Dajuan Wagner, and Caron Butler are all playing better than him, have better numbers than him, are more valuable to their team, and have better potential to be more dominant in this league. Manu Ginobili, if he weren’t injury plagued, would be on that list, too. They’ve showed that they can play against ANYBODY at their position in the NBA. They haven’t been streaky, as they haven’t been good against the teams who are weak at their position and bad against teams who are strong at their position, they’ve played just as consistently against every team, showing me that they can play with the big boys.

Why isn’t Shawn Bradley on the All-Star Ballot?
Uhhhh? good question. Your guess is as good as mine.

You must’ve never actually watched Yao play?
Yeah, I’ve watched a few Rockets games in their entirety through the NBA League Pass. He’s a giant stick who stands under the basket with his hands up, and when he’s at the top of the post he passes it back up top. That’s not talent at all. It’s called being tall.

But he scored 30 points and 16 rebounds against the Mavs, didn’t he? You’re just jealous.
Yes, he did. And, no, I’m not. Why did he? Because the only healthy big man we had was Shawn Bradley, and he had to rest. There is only so much you can do with one center, so when he came out Yao Ming dominated. It doesn’t take talent to be more than a half a foot taller than the person you're guarding and put the ball in the basket. If you don’t, you don’t deserve to touch a basketball. It’s like holding a ball up over your head and having a three year old jump for it. It’s ridiculous.

And why else is he awful? I’m sure I’ll forget a bunch of what I was going to say, but here goes:
Okay, first I’ll cut you guys some slack, he’s not the worst player in the league, but he should NOT be in the All-Star Game. He’s no where near as good number-wise, play-wise, or dominating-wise as Shaq.

Speaking of that. Everyone seems to think he will be a dominant force. You can’t be a dominant force if you’re afraid to turn and dunk the ball. He’s afraid to turn around with the ball, and when he does, he goes for a layup or takes a turnaround jumper. You can’t do that if you’re a center and that’s not at all dominating, by any sense of the word. He’s extremely skittish under the basket. When he’s double teamed he gets happy feet and sometimes travels. When he’s double-teamed he takes some steps and passes the ball to the nearest person, covered or not, causing turnovers.

Fans are giving him too much credit for being from overseas. He’s from China and missed a training camp, so what? It’s not like he’s never played basketball before. There are no rule differences from Chinese basketball to American basketball and he’s been holding a basketball ever since he was little. Don’t say, “For a guy from China, he’s playing well. He should make the All-Star game,” because he’s putting up practically the same numbers as Shawn," but he’s not even on the ballot because he’s not from China. It doesn’t make any sense, basketball is basketball wherever you play it.
br> I totally respect your opinion if you think otherwise, because for a rookie his numbers are good when facing teams with little or no low post presence. I can understand where you're coming from if you mean points are points whoever you’re up against. But still, he’s just a twig, and when he faces some other big man with talent, he just stands there.

I can’t wait for Shaq to demolish him, so you will all see what I’m talking about. If he has more than 24 points in that game on January 17th (and you can hold me to this) I will say I’m wrong and apologize to Yao Ming and all of his fans. In fact, I’ll write a column about how good Yao Ming is because if he can do that to Shaq, he’s good, but he won't. I know, bets against Yao Ming don’t usually work out real well, but you can hold me to this because, you’ll see, Yao Ming is not a good basketball player.

First, I don't believe that a teenager can write such things. And even he can, an official site shouldn't allow such things written there. Come on an official site should be... well official. Did we have "I hate Jazz" column on Rockets site? No.
