Duh! Tsk tsk tsk, where have you been lately!? But it's not his season average of 20.2 and 10.1 that makes him a superstar, it's the work that he put into making those stats what they are. What does he average this season? 22 and 10? It's not those numbers which made him great, it's the amount of work he put into getting those numbers. He's been going like 27 and 12 for a while now, and that raised his 19 and 9 numbers past the bump of 20 and 10 which most people consider superstar.
Even without McGrady today, Yao got only 12 shot attempts. How is Yao stats going drop when McGrady come back. I supposed Yao shot attempts will go down further.
