    They should focus on developing new players, Yao can't play forever for them.

    It was just a rumor, and Yao has denied it (see Chron).

    I understand that they can't, but you don't know the Chinese government. They are very prideful and will ride him til he ABSOLUTELY cannot go any further...and if he revolts any time before that, he's gonna get a lot of shit for it and they might even try to force him to go back to China...and it's ridiculous. They need to develop those big men PROPERLY, and teach those guards how to withstand pressure....rather than just SHOOT.

    This whole philosophy about chinese players isn't just the Chinese National Team or the Chinese club teams, but rather most chinese people..trust me, I play with them...I'm a banger and very vocal/derogatory....so I'm an anomaly...

    It's a problem they need to fix.
