I would have to think Clutch is right. A lot of people going off about nothing. You can see how some guys get upset with the media about being misquoted even if this guy didn't mean anything by leaving out the sentence about Yao. this is what happens when a TV guy tries to do print.
I'm wondering though, is that hoopshype interview a real interview or just a conversation the writer overheard?
BTW if thats the case of the misquoting thing, I hope Skip knows how close he came to having 1.2 billion people hate him. If he has problems ordering fried rice or people glare at him angrily in Chinatown, he only has hoopshype to blame.
