    Aggressive as in going to the basket with force. If you mean this, then Ok, otherwise he can't change his nature. If you are chinese you already know this.

    in the SA game Yao was just standing (feet set and not moving and outside the small arc) and Ginobli drove and hit his knees and they called Yao for the foul.. WTF?

    It's alright Yao. Just keep your composure and don't listen to them about showing your anger. Let JVG be your evangelists on refs mistake and us..

    I was tripping when I saw that. It's impossible for Yao not to be in the way when someone is driving. He was set already, how the hell do you expect him to move his feet out of the way. That call was pretty ridiculous.

    Yao is in the minority in the NBA in terms of height, size, combination of strength and skills and last of all, ethnicity and cultural background. If you are so different from the people around you in a large variety of aspects, you are more or less discriminated against, notwithstanding how the rules or constitution is written.

    Or sometimes not enough blood. :rolleyes:

    Yao had the giant gash on his right arm, and also went to the bench holding a towel over a different cut that WAS bleeding on his arm during the Heat game.

    That is conditionally true. If you are not perceived as a "threat" or challenge to the establishment, then you are more likely to be hugged like a giant panda. Otherwise, what you said.

    I think officials are improving with Yao. The logical thing to do is to give him the calls and direct him straight to the Finals against the Heat. A Yao/T-Mac vs Shaq/Wade would create ratings that dwarf the Jordan era.
