    Kim, I found this piece of news very disturbing.

    I can stand Shaq's rap and dry jokes, but not this....


    :(

    You people calling this stupid rant a joke should shut up already. There are some jokes better left unsaid (See Utah Jazz latest skit).

    The joke was stupid and infantile period. What is the point of bring up Yao's origin in relation to his winning? Why about accepting your fate with fate and proffessionalism? Shaq is fond of these puerile statements and he needs to be called out for it. He acts like a big spoiled baby. Shut up already shaq and just play ball. Sometimes I wish he never won any title. His act is old and irritating. I one of his biggest fans but it gets to a point where spell it like it is. Shaq is classless, graceless and unproffessional.

    :mad:

    Well, I did come up with under 125 million Chinese online votes if each only voted once. ;)

    But that sadly doesn't explain where Yao's other 123.5 million online votes went. Maybe Dubya had Jeb toss them out.

    Who actually thinks that all ball players are actually smart? Some are, some aren't.

    That's true and few have accused Shaq of that particular trait. :p

    Yeah i think that is the correct answer of:
    Why Shaq said that?

    Congratulations MFW2310, you did a great job :)

    Shaq said

    "That's cool," O'Neal said. "Where he's from there are 2 trillion people."

    Yao said

    "Shaq is a great competitor, and he has proven himself to be a great champion in this league," Yao said. "While I'm very happy to be selected as the starter, I feel as though I wish I could share the honor with him. Maybe they will let us start the game with six players."

    Who would you want to be your son's role model? Maybe I shouldn't ask the question, 90% of the public might pick Shaq and his trash talking, sore loser mentality.

    For those dismissing Shaq's comment as a joke, Yao beat him on humor too. :)
