    Actually brah, JVG mentioned it a few times that they send a tape of the officiating on YAO like almost every game. As for the fouling thing, from my biased view as a Rox fan, Yao does seem to get hacked more than most people (except for Shaq)

    One day, Yao and Dikembe call up David Stern and yell at him for the referees letting people hang on him all the time.

    Sura faints.

    Debunked? Kiddo, you've zero in your corner. Yao is among the very best players in the league at drawing fouls, and the evidence shows it. Yao is treated almost identical to Shaq & other NBA centers when it comes to committing fouls, and the evidence shows it.

    lol...I think as a rule, all future jokes need to be told in broken english. It just makes it much more enjoyable. You tell me which version is more funny

    Version 1:
    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    To get to the other side

    Version 2:
    Why chicken go cross road?
    To get other side...Sura faints

    Ask yourself if what you say makes sense Sam, and tell me again if I zeroed myself in my corner.

    If Yao is your average vanilla player that neither gets fouled more or less than your average Joe Blow, then if he comes up as one who leads the league at drawing fouls, then yeah, he's definitely getting the calls. Oh wait, that's Jeff Foster.

    But if Yao IS getting fouled three times every possession and leads the league in drawing fouls, is he being called fairly? If you have half a brain you'd say it's inconclusive either way.

    If they call pretty much every foul committed against him then yeah he's definitely getting respect. But if he gets a call every 10th hard foul against him, he's pretty much getting screwed.

    Which is why your stat is useless. Yao gets fouled every time down the court. If he doesn't lead the league somehow but gets average Joe Blow calls, he'd be screwed even more than he is getting screwed now.
