Yao's Game by Game Stats Looks like they were 17.6 ppg 9 rpg 2 apg and 1.6bpg while shooting 47.5% from the field and 75% on free throws. (My own math, could be off) Not all that impressive, considering what we already know he's capable of, but still good.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is the 4th or 5th time that Yao has been nominated for players of the week! Go Yao! Would luv to see him actually win one though! -G'day-
