Fran surfaces again with a great article about Yao

April 20th, 2009

I was just checking out Yahoo Sports and found that Fran Blinebury — laid off from the Houston Chronicle a few weeks ago — has contributed an article to Yahoo’s NBA section, maybe as part of his new gig with Titan Sports.

It’s a nice article about Yao, and contrasts his mentality with Tracy McGrady’s. Although McGrady is out of sight, I like how Blinebury continues to remind everyone exactly why McGrady is not missed.

    I've certainly posted a few posts calling for T-mac's head. He made me sooooooooo mad sometimes. I love his talent and I appreciate some of the things he did which truly amazed me, but there's no way, no way the Rockets can really excel unless he really takes a hard look at his soul and change. If he doesn't change, then all that potential is worthless, just trade him. The Rockets are better off that way.

    Yao's game has some serious shortcomings, that we've all noticed over the years. But we all know he cares about the winning a great deal, and frankly, that's all I ask from him and why I've remained a fan over the years.

    We should not victimize T-Mac for the failures suffered by the Rockets. Let us compare the scoring abilities of the players around Tracy and Yao at those times and the present. Now,we have Artest, Scola, Brooks, Landry and Wafer. What did we have back in those days? They were all those who did the LITTLE things, not the BIG thing, i.e., scoring. We must be fair in psssing a verdict.

    Maybe, T-Mac has played his last ball game. I hope not. It cannot be denied that he is a true talent in the game of basketball.

    Although McGrady certainly needed more help, he was weird and wasn't a leader like he pretended to be. Also, he "was" a true talent.
