Yao consistently works his ass of for this organization, the same thing can't be said for T-Mac. Yao has earned every ounce of respect he gets, T-Mac hasn't.
He had the arch in his foot entirely reconstructed. It's a little more serious than a simple hairline fracture.
C'mon people please pretty please bash Yao too. I can't take it anymore it's not fair. Why is everyone picking on Tracy?
I'll be missing making it out of the first round this year, that was more entertaining... ...if we make the playoffs that is.
I think this one will be a better representation of the Rockets 2009-10 season. On the floor and hobbled. They are as low as they can go.
exactly. People respect jordan and kobe because of their dedication to the game. I think yao has the respect of the fans on this site due to the same reason. The bash or hate on tmac is that he is being paid to work hard. yes from the videos of his rehab this year 'proves' he is working hard, but that is now, when everyone is down on him. If he was as dedicated to the game before, i would think that the situation would not be so bad for him now.
Good for you. I'll miss his continuous domination of Howard. I'll also miss him dunking over LeBron, Oden, and KG.
I'll miss the rating of the Rockets as contenders with Yao. Without Yao this season the Rockets are not even considered to make the playoffs. Go figure.
Dwight = D-P-Y, Young who will improve and led he's team to the nba finals. he's post moves are getting better every year. no sane GM woud take yao over dwight.btw, you're not clling yao a better dunker then dight are you
Oh yeah, dunking makes a whole big difference doesn't it, it makes you so much of a better player? DPOY these days goes to the popular players rather than the ones who deserve it and Dwight relies on his athleticism too much. The only reason he led them to the finals is because the league was really weak last year, we could have made it to the Finals easily in the Eastern Conference.
