hmmm people dont really care if a player is from their country.. they care more about local players.. hometowns ect.. i mean ud think Yao would be a huge hit in China or wherever he is from.. but no.. Tracy McGrady and LeBron James still lead sales overseas

Im sure germany wouldnt mind seeing Dirk win a championship, but im sure they dont really give a fuck if he loses

Mavs will win the series

Last I heard Yao was fairly popular among Chinese basketball fans :shrug:  In Russia basketball fans have their beloved Kirilenko.  In Canada everyone was cheering for the Phoenix Suns because of Steve Nash. Considering that basketball is played everywhere in the world today, while the highest level of play is mainly confined to the United States, among basketball fans in other countries, their superstars who made it into the NBA are fairly popular, and their favorite teams are usually the one their country's prodigy is playing for.

Mavs lead 1-0 after 90 to 80 victory. Shaq accidently split Stackhouses's nose open too

Terry was on fire he hit 13 of 18 shots, Nowitzky and Howard weren't on their game though going only 7 of 28. Sunday we'll see them the way we're used to seeing them.

Shaq didn't really get going either he had 16 pts and missed 8 of 9 freethrows. (9 would've been a record) Then Wade wasn't really helping his team much either... he had a lot of points but he missed a shit load of shots. If he passed the ball more and quit hogging the ball I think they would've had more points as a team.

Game 2 is going to have a shitload more shots. We get our starters going and our bench will back us up. Mavs will take it.

The Mavs are stacked, i love how anyone can step up for them.. terry, howard, dirk, devon harris... anyone on that team can step it up and take over a game.. i love that

Miami doesnt really have that, if they cant get the post and wade going, they are in for a LONG night

and i dont like Yao at all.. to me he is way to soft to play center in the NBA.. the centers of my time were Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, and of course Shaq Diesel

Too soft for the NBA?!

No offense, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Yao's stats sing a completely different tune. Any center that can average 17.5 ppg and 8.8 rpg (and 13.5 and 8.2 in his rookie tenure) has talent no matter how weird looking he is on the court.

i didnt mean soft like statistically.. i just mean that hes not physical.. like.. he just gets bullied in the post.. he can block some shots just cause hes freakishly tall, same with rebounds.. 7'5''? i mean hes the tallest player in the league.. id expect him to have more rebounds than that!

just two players i was bothered to look up.. both had more rpg.. shaq and ben wallace.. both about 4'' shorter

i dont know what im talking about? you dont.. i didnt say he wasnt a good player, i was implying that hes not a good center.

i'm not big on b-ball, i wouldn't really take my opinion

in the few games i've seen he's played pretty damn well, but i too have always thought he was a little "soft" and not very physical

Besides Shaq and Big Ben, what other centers in the league are statistically better than Yao? And in consideration of Yao's age? You'll find that Yao is one of the best centers in the league, while those who are statistically better are mostly veterans a few years shy of an exodus from their prime. I don't get why you say he's not a good center simply because Shaq, perhaps one of the greatest centers in the history of basketball, has slightly higher scoring and rebound averages. Ben Wallace - top notch defender and rebounder, but Yao outscores him still significantly with only a slight deficit in rebounds. It's like saying Manu Ginobili is't a good guard because he's not as good as Michael Jordan. :shrug:

once again im in no way implying that Yao isnt a great player.. i just dont feel hes physical enough to play the center position, i think majority of his stats are due to the fact that hes freakishly tall, id think any 7'5'' player in the NBA would net as many rebounds and similar point totals.

id play him in a very similar role as dirk nowiski.. they both can shoot, and both can rebound.. but neither is very physical, althou dirk can shoot much better, and hes more physical than Yao

So you'd throw Yao in as a foward...

I like Tim Duncan, he's one of my favorite players. He has probably the best personality of anyone in the league,

Tim Duncan has a personality?
