Maybe we should just not read national articles about the Rockets?
Unless its written in Texas, (I notice whenever you read articles from SA or DAL or Austin or wherever, Tmac and Yao get much respect) I think its because regionally people see the team. They see Tracy or Yao, I get to see Duncan and Dirk, so my opinions of them are higher maybe than someone all the way in NY or Philly.
Frankly, four of the best players in the league live in Texas? TD, Dirk, Tmac, and Yao in no particular order, who in their right mind wouldn't want any of those guys right now? I'm sure in the northwest, people think there ought to be statues erected in honor of KG, and rightfully so, he's earned it. I think this is basically just Eastside Westside bias, with a smack of Southside-Miami sludge. No matter how pisspoor the Lakers or Kings are, Westcoast writers will always say 'their' guys are better than our guys. Eastcoast jerks, are well just that, Eastcoast jerks who thinks the Sun rises there first on planet Earth. Steve Francis better hope he gets traded this year, or his career will never rise out of the toilet.
Sorry Stevie, I still have love 4 ya...
Bottomline Yao Shaq DHoward Amare (in his present state) are the only true all around prime-time centers in the NBA. Yes, yes, Big Ben is a great defender/rbdr but can you throw it in to him for a win, NO so he's not prime-time.
But you know what, with 5 seconds left who would you rather have to win your game, the guy who'll miss the free-throws and possibly get an Off foul or the guy whose career FGs include 12 foot fadeaways and 80% at the line? Hmmmnnn, let me think....
Yao is overhyped by us Houston fans
