I truly believe Shane wrote this... As I don't believe an eloquent English writer would "fake" it for Sina It also matches the tone of his aftergame interviews. Stay humble, stay hungry, and stay together!!!
TMac himself called Yao the best player on the team. doubt he'd be upset by Shane echoing this thought ...
It's most likely fake. This wouldn't be the first time someone posted fake blogs from that sina site. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=132711&page=1&pp=20 And don't forget about all the fake news ("WE WILL ISO YOU") we've seen come from that site.
Tmac himself said in a post game interview that the team lost their "best player" and that acceptance is just one of the many reasons why we have a 20 game winning streak.
Tmac is just saying that to put less pressure on himself. Any fan that watch Rockets basketball knows Tmac is the best player.
take a look at the blog/chat that he did with the chron. That was "spot on" with the above. So, yes. That was him. good guy.
meh, maybe. I dunno. Like I said it could be him, it just doesn't seem like his voice to me. Then again, I am not a Shane Battier expert. No matter what they are good words to hear and I hope he's been as much of a leader as people have been saying.
Hmm, are you really that dumb...? I would think Battier or somebody else who works for/with him would have said something if someone has been writing a fake blog about him for almost a year already. Who knows what that 'someone' will say next time? Anyone can write a blog on Sina. There are tens of thousands of blogs on that site... and you use a fake blog last year to prove this blog is not real? Even the 90 years old grandma of my buddy knows there are fake blogs on myspace. Would you also say all the myspace blogs are fake because of those fake blogs? When was the last time you use your brain?
I'm just pointing out that time and time again we've seen false info come from that site. Even pryuen who has a good reputation on these boards posted that tmac blog with the belief that it was real. All I'm trying to say is that it would be silly to believe everything that comes form that site is legit.
Sina doesn't write the blog. Sina is a website. Sina is not a blog writer. Someone uses Sina space to write a blog, just like a weirdo would use myspace to write a fake blog. I could understand if you have doubt about the 'news'. But using your reasoning to decide whether you would believe a blog is real or not is just not smart. Do you need further clarification?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease !!! If you bother to check the contents of that blog, and look at all the articles and photos that were posted, you'll know that those blog entries are articles contributed by Shane Battier........... WHY did you guys all find it that difficult to comprehend? That blog is specifically sponsored by China Peak, Shane's shoe sponsor in China, and Shane wrote something and contribute it to be posted onto that blog, accompanied by translation done by the Chinese . Just check and read the following previous blog entries: On the loss of Yao Ming thru his injury http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e01008hsp.html On Staying humble, staying hungry and staying together http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e01008gn5.html Breaking the news about Heidi (his wife) and he going to have their first baby http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e010081q7.html On his personal hobbies: his freak on electronic gadgets http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e01007qv3.html About his vacation in Mexico during last year's All Stars Break http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e010007xt.html On the various coaches he had had from college to now in NBA http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e010007gn.html On his family (about his father, mother, brothers and sisters) http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e010006fu.html On his wife Heidi http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e010006bh.html I don't think sina.com can fabricate all the photos and stories for Shane Battier.
I doubt the blogs are real too. Battier would not have used 'he' or 'his' in the titles of his own blogs.
DAMN IT !!! You did not EVEN read those entires. Those were not the title of his blog entries, but the contents description I put up.
