Yao Doesn’t Care About Training Camp
Because he has to be in China for the opening ceremonies of the Special Olympics, Yao Ming will miss media day and some of the Rockets’ training camp . The NBA, being the fair and kind-hearted League that it is, will fine him for his absence.
The Matrix will report for training camp today. Awkward!

He should care if he wants to work on his post play if he wants to take shaq an Dhoward and as well as Oden next season. Oden will come back next year and show everyone! Gon have to muscle up a lil if he gon take shaq downlow and do anything to Dwight howard.

This is, once again, strict application of NBA rules rather than sensible application of the rules. Whoopie.

The Rockets should just provide a big bag of fortune cookies to answer all questions for Yao. “Yao, how do you think the offseason acquisitions will fit in?” *snap “To free yourself from want, first fulfill your needs.”

People, what the heck are you talking about?!. what im seeing here is a genuine effort by Yao in supporting HIS OWN COUNTRY! and some of you guys want him to ignore his country and just play for you? haha even MJ or any NBA player would choose country before self first, yo!

i think Yao decided he doesn’t need TWO days of practice since he’s been working out more than resting this offseason…besides, he has a whole year to “get ready” for Oden, and Dhow needs to learn some offense before Yao has to worry too much

he misses 2 days:S wtf give him a break. He’s been working out with the dream on his post game. And yeah he needs to work realy hard if he wants to play against the injured for the season greg oden. C’mon now and as long as dwight howard can’t hit a jumper or a jump hook. yao is the best center in the nba hands down
