OP, you make a plausible argument, but you could've timed this better. At this point most Rox fans just took a devastating blow with Yao's latest injury--not a good time to convince them otherwise. HOWEVER, a better argument you could have made is this: Yao is LESS injury-prone than Tracy McGrady. This can be backed up with pretty good stats: 1) Yao has missed FEWER games on the Rockets than McGrady--I don't think many people realize this. 2) Yao's injuries have been on one area, while McGrady has had back, knee, ankle, shoulder injuries. 3) One of Yao's key injuries was actually a freak accident that could have broken any other player--having Tim Thomas crush his left leg in that Clippers game.
