Yes they are. there corrupt. btw, are u adelman bashers seeing this?. he's standing up for yao. great job rick.
I just got a good idea. Remember how the Yi and Yao game was watched by over 200 million people in China? Well, there will be one more game like that this year. In the game before (Indiana 02/01/08) that game, Yao needs to go ballistic on the refs over the first terrible call. I mean nuclear, including poking him hard in the chest. Touching the ref will get at least a 1 game suspension and deprive those 200 million of the Yao-Yi rematch. When he states the reason he's suspended is the terrible officiating, it will get international attention. Not to mention, it will take millions of dollars out of NBA owner's pockets.
Hey, Yao sure looked like he was in a holiday mood when him and T-Mac were laughing and having a good time together while the team was getting ran out by the Warriors where Yao didn't do much. Don't place all the blame on his teammates. Yao shares a load too.
It would be a good idea for Adelman to file a complaint to NBA whenever Yao is officiated unfairly. This would force the NBA to review the way Yao is officiated and take appropriate action to rectify it. Filing complaints are better than doing nothing because NBA will not act if there is no complaint.
I luv this comic..... and I hope Yao Ming will change his mindset and stop being too humble and gentleman-like on court to become an aggressive, mean and dominant "bad" guy in NBA !! Captions for the comics: Frame 1: It will never be tranquil here (in NBA). Frame 2: And it is always survival for the fittest here (in NBA). (In the background: Those were the money I saved for getting married) Frame 3: And there is never fairness in this league (at least not for me) (In the background: Yao: Hey, Judge, I'm wronged. Judge: I said you're not wronged then you're not wronged. Take him out to be beheaded !!) Frame 4: Yao Ming: So I have decided to become a bad guy !!
I did think it was serious until I saw the last scene. What our big man did that night will only make fans be much more proud of him, um...we wait for this for 6 years
I was wondering whether it would help if Yao Ming shouted everytime "I'll complain against you" (pointing at the referee) while throwing towels, drink bottles or even a chair (not to the official but to the ground) when he is unfairly officiated.
Hey Dreamflying-Jerk-off... are all 11 of your posts this insightful? Reread my post, I'm not saying that Yao shouldn't complain, and I'm not saying that in this game it wasn't 100% justified. All I'm saying is that complaining 100% of the time, even on clearly legit fouls can't build goodwill with the refs. I think Yao was 100% justified getting pissed off in this game, and I think it is great he got ejected as it brings attention to the situation. I was also very supportive when JVG got in trouble during the playoffs for blowing the cover on the league giving the refs instructions on how to ref Yao in the Dallas series. I hope Yao continues to show more passion on a nightly basis, and I have no issue with him raising hell when he is officiated inappropriately. That being said, I personally don't like it when he (or anyone else) moans to the refs on calls that are clearly legit. I don't see how that makes me a moron though...
Yeah,I agree with you.If that's a legit call,Yao should shut it up,dont whin like a desperate women. And when its a wrong call,Yao should complain and act more fiercely,the most important,is the passion,you should let the audience see your passion. Yao should learn to express his anger at the most appropriate time.
When you're wrongly officiated,you should challenge every time.But if its really a good call,you'd better dont whin any more.
Why are you laughing? I would argue that only the highly ignorant would believe race is not a factor whatsoever. Believe it or not, there are many highly ignorant people in the United States today that strongly believe racism is a phenomenon of the past. The reason is, discrimination is taught to us as individual acts of meanness. Recognizing implicit systems of oppression, another form for discrimination, requires far more intellect. As you may know, studies have shown in fast-paced environments, people tend to gravitate towards the instinctive rather than reason (IAT ). Is it not unreasonable to believe that there is the possibility that referees gravitate towards the proliferate stereotype of the docile, emasculated, Asian male, when officiating Yao in the fast-paced environment of the NBA?
Oh shutup.most big men get treated and officiated harshly. dwight howard gets as many as fouls as yao does per minute.so does shaq. it's got nothing to do with race.the league has to look at how all big men get treated differently.
I do agree most big men get treated harshly in the NBA, and the league does indeed need to look into how they're treating all big men. But Shaq, Dwight Howard, and other superstar big men get superstar treatment. If you haven't noticed Yao does not. What your trying to say is that race is not the only factor, and you're absolutely correct in saying that. But to say race is not a factor at all, is just being in denial.
Where the hell in my post did i say racism was not a factor in this world? We're talking basketball here, not world wide issues. And I'm pretty positive that the bad officiating comes because of his size, not his skin color. Shaq is faced with the same problems with bad calls, and guess what, he's black. So It must be a black and asian thing right? I guess we must gather all the Chinese and Black leaders to come together and put a stop to this horrific situation that is ruining the country. Yes, Shaq and Dwight get more calls because their game is more physical and close to the basket. Yao plays with finesse and shoots fadeaways and 15 foot jumpers. There's nothing wrong with that but its true. Shaq and Dwight attack the basket more frequent than Yao. I agree that Yao deserves more calls but it's not because he's Asian, that's reaching too far. It's because the refs suck ass. Plain and simple. Please, save your race rant for an more important events along the lines of Jena 6 and not the horrible officiating done on big men.
