Yao's quote about Steve Francis after Rox beat Warriors in Oakland: "He's our leader and we need him to lead," the rookie center said of Francis. "If he falls apart, it can cause the whole team to fall apart. Everyone can see that." Yao Ming on coach Rudy Tomjanovich's announcement that he'll need follow-up testing after a bladder infection revealed abnormal cells: "It was very serious and Rudy is like a father to a lot of us around here, and for him not to be there, it seems like we don't have someone to rely on, to lean on. I hope he gets back soon."
Obviously from Yao's stand point, Steve is the MVP! I like Yao, not only because of his skill, but he is a real team player.
exaclty. Stevie is our PG, he is our Franchise player right now. Yao is soon to be our co-Franchise player with stevie.
Nicely put. The Rockets will have two team-MVP players (co-MVPs) in the Franchise & Dynasty on the team... That was really cool of Yao to say, though.
Quoteing yourself? Anyway, you're right. If it wasnt for Steve, there wouldn't be a 30+ win season for us.
Yao is so DEAD on... That's why the combo of Stevie and Yao will be the best ever when it's all said and done... I know it's a lot to expect for instant winning, but even if we don't make the playoffs, or lose in the 1st round, this is going to be awesome to be a part of... GO ROX...
