    that's kinda what happens when guys get tons of hype and then can rarely ever suit up.

    Regardless of what anyone will say, it brings tears to my eyes to think about how Yao, and what he brought to the Rockets, won't ever be on court again. I'll miss watching Yao. This moment from this video is the defining moment of what Yao was in my opinion. I'll never forget this and what I learned about determination. I don't care if he never won a ring. A person like this and that entire roster were champions that year.

    ugh. the onion's facebook page just posted this again in their "best of the year" series, only to change the headline to 22 points and 7 rebounds against charlotte.

    I couldnt help but write them how I felt about it and I'll probably get trolled but I swear this satire article is a Piece of trash.

    "fun" being the operative word. this is plain cheap.

    and it hurts having to read it all over again, the way they cheapened it even more for more Internet hits.

    I'll get over it.
