Chinese Link: http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2004-07-16/10331001472.shtml OK, it's from YangYi but it's funny.
I thought Yang Yi lost all his credibility when he said BBarry had already accepted the Rockets' offer back then.
Yang Yi's credibility with Rocket personnel moves: Zero Yang Yi's credibility with Rocket anecdotes that Yao tells him: Hopefully decent, just because they are so interesting to read.
good to see Yao back in action against Canada after his foot problems in the other game still worry though about his health staying true while playing for the Chinese National Team all summer.
http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2004-07-16/10251001449.shtml Another Yanyi article which roughly says Yao will miss Shaq now that he has gone to the East. Yao's first idol was Wangzhizhi who he tried to surpass in the CBA but Wang went to NBA before Yao could overcome him on the court. Shaq is Yao's last idol left but has also gone away before Yao could surpass him. It's fate that they ened up in the same team now. Also look at that upper body!
Maybe this guy is too stupid to know Yao might be joking to him when he said all this stuff. You know people who either being sarcastic or joking around and some people can't pick it up like this YanqYi guy. THis idiot think he's a friend of Yao.
Shaq IS Yao's idol in the sense that Yao wants to become dominant. There's no problem with that. Don't ridicule a guy without some valid basis. It's pretty fun to bandwagon bash this Yangyi guy huh? I don't know him, but I've read his stuff, and it's not garbage. I don't think we can question his access to Yao. I've asked this in another thread... everyone loves to bash him, but please someone post some EVIDENCE that he's lied. I have seen no such evidence. As per the Brent Barry thing. He reported that the Rockets OFFERED Brent Barry. Nobody is disputing that. He rejected our offer to play for the Spurs instead.
