The current hot point is whether Yao is a leader. To me, he hasn't shown strong leadership, and I gave you the reasons why I believe so. Because no matter how flawed his current supporting casts are, they had success elsewhere, under strong leaderships. Speaking of the quality of success, yes, US college basketball championship worth a lot more than a CBA title AFTER Wang ZZ left for NBA.
Again, as shady as a leader TMac maybe, he led the Magic team to straight 3 playoffs, by putting up MVP like numbers. Yao hasn't shown any better leaderships. His record without that terrible terrible selfish pseudo leader in TMac is beyond terrible. A win against Spurs isn't going to cover all those other loses, and it was still only one win. The terrible 25 win Raptors won against the almighty 72 wins Bulls in that year, but it doesn't change the fact that Raptors team was beyond terrible.
I am still waiting for your argument that Yao is a better leader than TMac. Don't make me wait forever.
