Jeremy Lin: The Height of Why He Matters More Than Yao Ming to Asian-Americans jeremy lin, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Yao Ming | Comments Off
Jeremy Lin is not short.[1] Only in basketball is Lin considered short. There he is, a "small" 6'3" guy dribbling through a forest of seven-footers, looking for just a sliver of sunlight, fighting the same battle that an average Asian man or woman might fight in a crowded Manhattan subway car. Yao Ming, on the other hand, was taller than even the seven-footers. At 7'6", Yao towered over his competitors, and was the tallest player in the NBA for most of his career. Yao, indeed, occupied the penthouse of the tower, blessed with height and athleticism and pedigree[2] that ...

Jeremy Lin’s Friendship with Former NBA Star Yao Ming Has Benefited Him Basketball, jeremy lin, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Yao Ming | Comments Off
New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin's friendship with former NBA star center Yao Ming has really helped him learn how to handle the fame and pressure of American pro basketball.“I talk to Yao after every game,” Lin said via the New York Daily News. “He’s taken me out to eat every time we’re in the same city. He’s obviously a role model and a big brother to me and we keep in touch all the time.”If there's someone who knows what it's like to be the face of the NBA for your country, it's Yao, who has done an ...

by Sam AmickFiled under: Bulls, Clippers, Hornets, Knicks, Nets, Nuggets, Rockets, Timberwolves, Warriors, NBA RumorsTo steal a headline from our friends at SI.com, talk about a 'Melo-Drama.' There was hardly a breather between LeBron James' "Decision" and the saga that surrounds disgruntled Denver star Carmelo Anthony. Yet after months of speculation about the level of his discontent, it has finally been established that the Nuggets are listening to offers for the three-time, All-Star small forward after he has left their three-year, $65 million extension offer unsigned for months. This is no free-agent process. It's a potential trade that comes with a long ...

McGrady Still Confident in Comeback Amare Stoudemire, Jason Kidd, Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming | Comments Off
by Tim PovtakFiled under: Knicks, Magic, RocketsORLANDO, Fla. -- Seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady bristled at the suggestion Friday morning that his career was coming to a close, scoffing at a question about accepting a reserve role and limited minutes next season just to stay in the league. McGrady, who had microfracture surgery to his left knee 14 months ago, has played 22 games with the New York Knicks since coming from the Houston Rockets in February, showing a few flashes of his former self, but more often the after-effects of serious injuries that have dampened his skills considerably. "I haven't fallen off ...

Memo to Rockets: Patience Is a Virtue Carl Landry, Daryl Morey, David Lee, Jordan Hill, Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, matt barnes, Rick Adelman, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming | Comments Off
by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Kings, Knicks, RocketsThe Houston Rockets have shown the NBA a lot of pride this year. Their resolve is both admirable and impressive. No Yao Ming? No problem. No Tracy McGrady? Not re-signing their best defender? No problem. With the job he's done, Rick Adelman deserves at least a percentage of the votes for NBA Coach of the Year. You want to talk about maximizing talent and playing hard -- the Rockets are the epitome of such a sentiment. Common thought is that Houston will immediately return to the top half of the Western Conference next season ...

7SoM Lakers vs Rockets Game 2 Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Yao Ming | Comments Off
The league's two best big men played on Wednesday night and they were as invisible to us as they were to their teammates. I'll quote Kelly Dwyer cause he made me take a second look at the Lakers-Rockets game:"They won with Yao Ming getting the ball, and Yao Ming shooting the ball. That's the ticket to the next round. And if you don't have the guts to fire an entry pass that isn't anything less than a 100 percent certitude to get to the big man, than you don't deserve to move on. Simple as that. Find your go-to man, ...
