Chinese upset about Yao’s injury

Here’s a story from today’s Houston Chronicle that talks about how some Chinese are upset at the Rockets for Yao’s injured foot, which could knock him out of participating in the World Championships this summer. How can anyone be mad at the Rockets? I think Jeff Van Gundy makes it clear that it’s Yao’s decision if he wants to go for it and try to train this summer for the championships.

Van Gundy’s dry wit also came out in this article with this classic statement: “I just want Yao to recover when he can and become an even better basketball player. I’ve got enough problems already without being a vicious capitalist pig.”
