    Steve Nash jerseys have dropped off…. I think it’s that funny ‘shoulder cut’ they have…

    These chinese people tend to like short guys, like AI and Rose. And that’s because they are short themselves. That’s why Yao is not such a big superstar there. Altough I think that’s sad for him. I don’t get liking a player just because he’s short… or tall fot that matter… As for me, in Spain we will always have Pau #1.

    If Lebron wins a ring with the Heat, all those Lebron loving Kobe haters have to give him less credit just like they do with Kobe on his first 3peat. I will give him all the credit, but if he won in Cleveland he would be considered a better player than if he wins in Miami.

    @Alan – Yao not a big star over there???????? Let’s review this discussion come ALLSTAR BALLOT TIME. Even Shane Battier gets his ‘grant Hill’ on for voting numbers?! Comment. Fail.

    @Philosopher: I disagree with your assertion that all LBJ needs is 1 title. IF they win, regardless of who is statiscally the best player on that Heat team, LBJ will catch flack for not being able to win without Wade, having to follow someone else, etc. Not that those kind of barbs are warrented, but they tend to haunt players.

    @Philosopher just hop off of his sack, he isn’t greatest of all-time, nor does he live up to his nickname. Just stop it
