“That is living in the past,” Yao said. “Our time is gone. It is time to look forward.” that is yao for you right there, pure class.
I love Yao. He really deserved to be a champion, I've never seen a more likable pro-athlete. I'm not even speaking as a Rockets fan anymore; incredible guy.
I think the idea is whether Howard-Harden can be as dominant as Shaq-Kobe were when they won those championships.
I think Hakeem and Yao would be good role models for Howard--of grace under pressure. It's good to have them around for support as Howard continues to get all those negative reactions from Laker homies.
i agree, hopefully he picks up there work ethic. because in my eyes, he still has a lot to work on before im sold on him.
I picks Shaq and Kobe Howard does not have the finesse of Hakeem. He is more a power player, like Shaq was. Harden is the Best SG in the league, with superb outside shooting and ice in his veins. Like Kobe.
It's like a lesser Shaq, and a bigger, stronger, and younger Manu. Oh wait that's not an option. I just voted Hakeem and Clyde because I think Clyde is closer to Harden than Shaq, Hakeem, or Yao is to Dwight. Kobe is a chucker =/= to Harden and Tmac shoots from distance, doesn't get to the line =/= Harden.
Yao would say no, but if Alexander forces him, he will take it. Yao is not someone who wants something without working for it.
Yao would qualify for a staff ring...what he did at the Howard meeting is equal to a scout. However, the staff rings are different from the team rings.
