He finally showed that tall giants can play basketball. He is the first guy above 7'4 I remember that actually played solid ball.
What's real frustrating that while there were so many articles blasting Yao last year when he didn't "live up to expectations", there are so little articles praising him now that he is meeting these expectations. Maybe it's because the Rockets' season has been so bad, but the media is obviously the main reason so many find Yao "overrated".
I'm hoping yao can continue this into next season, because if his production dips a bit they'll be all over him.
man im so surprised to hear something positive out of walton's mouth about yao.. finally..... yea baby.. he got his respect now!
