Player of the D.A.Y.

and Patrick Ewing on Yao

By Sam Rubenstein

First off, here is Patrick Ewing on Yao, as promised. A great excerpt:

I always told him, though, that if I had played against him I would have gotten 50 on him. How would I attack him? I would use my quickness. At 7-6, it would be hard to jump and shoot over him, so I would mix it up, sometimes facing up and other times using my jump shot. You definitely have to make him move his feet. But seeing as I left the game the year before he came in, I guess we’ll never know what would really happen.

I miss Patrick Ewing.

Player of the D.A.Y. No suspense. Michael Redd. 45 at the house of Kobe.

Yao would lose his bad toe and make five new ones trying to do any of Hakeem’s moves.

Yes indeed, Olajuwon teaching Ming the dream shake and Yao unleashing it on the league would be sweeeeet! But the big red wall isn’t doing too bad for himself right now, top 10 scoring in the league etc. But DAMN, what is up with Redd. He is on fire, awesome shooter, and that release is perfect.BTW, Kobs screaming SOB after his horrible game ending miss, was awesome. Aah, i so love the king snake

so this doesn’t relate to his 45pt outburst, but how is that lang and everyone was complaining about kobe’s assists when he scored 81, but nobody seemed to point out redd scored 57pts this year with 0 assists?

i told you guys, Yao’s gonna dominate when people pass him the ball while he is moving into the post, not when he is in the post. Another thing is he’s getting calls this year for a simple push from the back. Its basically impossible to guard him 1 on 1, imagine a guy half foot taller and 50 pounds heavier than you, with a hook shot, mid range jumper and a spin move. He could average 37 and 12 next year. But to win a champ, we need another game changer, thats Tmac. Wait for him to play like its 02′ in the playoffs.

Redd is way too good for the Bucks to be losing all these games. Bogut has gotta start stepping up with Charlie out, give the Redd Rocket some help (worst nickname ever, just made it up).

You didnt actually just “make it up”, you just “stole” it, and added an extra ‘D’.

@next, about 57 and 0: higher standards. That’s why we get bows for redd’s 57 and snoozes for a bryant 45.
