Yes, his words were taken out of context, but those WERE his own words. Scola said he didn't know RonRon personally, and he won't let what others say influence his opinion. He will find out more playing with RonRon.
Yao Ming, on the other hand, provided munition to the media so easily. WTF?! Why would he do this? What is yao doing to make this whole thing go away? NOTHING! He just can't give Artest a call? He can't call the frigging reporter out? He couldn't call his reporter friends to put out some explanation to soften his judgmental words?
Yes, Ron was a nutcase, but he's a very good player at both ends. Besides, he brings the swagger this soft team, he will insert fear into opponents' hearts. He's the ultimate enforcer Yao has desperately needed for 5 frigging years! What was Yao's excitement? Yeah, there is worry, I hope he doesn't go to the stand to fight someone.
*****了!! WTF?!!
