Completely disagree. People are disappointed. The guy has had devastating foot injuries for 3 straight season. Magic fans boo Grant Hill...Grant Hill is a good guy but you understand why they did it. He always had problems with his foot. Yao seems to be the same way and fans who expected a deep playoff run b/c they saw this team ran off 12 straight...are frustrated and disappointed.

I 100% guarantee you would not be saying this if McGrady got the boo treatment. I would never boo McGrady for being injured even though I am not his fan.

You heard him. He tries so hard to rrevent injuries, but these last few years have been unlucky for Yao. 4 Major injuries in 2-3 years is really unlucky, they couldn't even figure out how he got this fracture on his foot. You can't blame Yao. They should show some respect for the man, he's disappointed too. It's not like he wanted this to happen, he didn't do it on purpose and deserves no boos from the fans.

Its not Yao's fault. We all know that. But I understand why they booed him.

Not to throw off the topic, but did you ever go to the Magic board? They were talking about you in the Yao Injury thread in their board.

If Tracy were sitting on the bench in a suit, his face came up on the Jumbotron, and people started booing, I guarantee that you would not react like this.

I have some bread on my counter. It's kinda moldy. By kinda I mean it's green orange and purple and i think maybe it evolved some feet too. One time I threw it on the keyboard and hit "Submit" and now my keyboard glows in the dark and looks kinda like Elvis.
Morey 2020.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I'm sure Rockets fans have booed McGrady as well. It just never made it in the paper.
