Failed to pick this up sometimes earlier...... This was what Shane Battier said about Yao Ming's untimely stress fracture on his left ankle and the feelings of the Rockets in his personal blog on Sina.com February 27, 2008. Shane Battier is such a consummate professional and great team mate !!
man, scola seems so small but hes actually a pretty big dude. i guess its his small head that makes it seem like hes a small guy.
Great article Pryuen, thanks as always. ok so we got the best friends combo in the team: Scola/Battier, Yao/Mutombo, Landry/Novak?, TMac/?
I really appreciate that Rocket has so many good person Shane, Yao, Mutombo T-MAC... So I think the reason why we still keep on winning without Yao is IT TAKES 5!!! 5 genius without unity like Knicks is nothing!
That Landry picture is kind of scary. He should make that face every time he dunks on someone. If I was the defender and my man made that face at me...it would freak me the hell out.
That Scola/Battier picture must have been taken by one of their forwards/centers. Look how high the vantage point is.

Battier is such a great player and a great person! He was a champion in NCAA, and always has a champion heart! When Yao was out, I can feel his upset, actually, he got his first 'T' in his nba career. But, at least, now he and rockets are making history and this season won't be a disappointment. Hopefully, next season Yao can keep healthy and the rockets can win the title.
LOL I don't know why but that's hilarious. I can imagine him on the intercom on a plane so small you could just turn around and yell. "This is your captain, both on and off the court, speaking...
