Paul Forrester - first columnist to eat crow about Yao Ming

I think this is the first written crow-eating from NBA columnists about Yao Ming. At least Mr Forrester has the courage to say he was wrong, unlike some other columnists.

Yao Ming: We were wrong. We know it, and we're sorry. We could only hope to have a player on our fantasy roster who dropped in about 20 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, blocked almost three shots and shot almost 50 percent from the floor (as Yao has done in his past four games). More important, the Houston players are starting to believe in Yao. They are starting to see the benefits of having a double-teamed center kick the ball out for open jumpers. They are starting to understand how a legitimate low-post scorer can make their team good enough to knock off the Sacramento Kings. And they are starting to see how many more chances they can take on defense with a virtual giant behind them to swat away what they don't steal.
